Design & modeling of mechanisms used for chalk manufacturing in semi automated chalk making machine

ABSTRACT To step forward in the field of automation the concept of “Design & modeling of mechanisms used in chalk manufacturing in a Semi Automated chalk making machine” is proposed. The Mechanisms used in chalk manufacturing in a Semi Automated chalk making machine is designed to overcome the limitations of existing manual chalk making machine by enhancing the productivity & machine utilization time. The existing chalk making machine has the limitations like less machine utilization time, decreased productivity, increased setup time, increased human effort. After implementing the designed mechanisms the Semi automated chalk making machine is expected to have the advantages like improved productivity, Low cost, Less area occupied by the machine when compared with the existing machine, Reduced setup times, less scope for manual errors etc. The paper provides a scope for fully automating the machine by automating few mechanisms. The mechanisms designed in this paper helps in developing new machines in future. In order to design the mechanisms used in chalk manufacturing in a Semi automated chalk making machine designing criteria of all the parts & existing different models are studied. Modeling &assembly of parts is done using CATIA work bench.
