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.

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 dete...
