Week 8 (FYP 2)

Activity:
Refurbish Motor and Conveyor

Objective:
  • To allow the conveyor to move smoothly
  • To allow the motor to rotate properly
  • To look neater on the conveyor

Content:
  • Originally conveyors 1 and 2 did not move properly because the tension belts were already rusty.
  • So I had to loosen the conveyor belt and remove the tension belt to be cleaned and the roller replaced.
  • The roller on the tension belt is rubbed with lubricating oil to smooth the rotational movement.
  • After cleaning the roller, it needs to be reinstalled as original.
  • But I have adjusted the tension belt so that the conveyor is more tense and moves well especially the upper conveyor.
  • For the motor, I was clean up the connection and the mount
Result:
  • As a result, conveyors 1 and 2 can move well.
  • Conveyor 2 which is downward conveyer is move faster than upper conveyor because the it have less tensioner roller than upper conveyor. 
Conclusion:
Even though the upper conveyor is moving slowly, it can help the sensor to detect the metal plate better
