A Real Time Design and Development of Fixture for Unloading of Control Assembly in an Industry

Fixture is most important equipment used in mechanical industries to hold, locate and support the work piece during the operation. This project is developed to handle the control valve assembly on assembly line in an industry and the purpose of the project is to reduce the human effort require to unload the valve assembly from assembly line which is much heavier in weight. This project has been selected as an issue of safety and fatigue of the worker in an industry. The completion of the project will drastically reduce fatigue of the worker and also provide safe working conditions to worker at shop floor. This fixture works automatically with the help of some mechanical and electronic components such as Pneumatic Cylinder, Solenoid valve, Direction Control Valve, Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) etc. These all will make the machine efficient and on the completion of project one may gain the knowledge of design, fabrication and also about the pneumatic systems. Also this can be use where valves like components are handling manually.
