Abstract

The automatic sorting system has been reported to be complex and a global problem. This is because of the inability of sorting machines to incorporate flexibility into their design concept. Automation is a preferred for faster and precise operations as compared to manual operation. This paper provides a mean of simple yet effective fixed type of automation for sorting the products. Two products identical in shape and size are sorted out automatically on the basis of drilled or undrilled product. LED and phototransistor arrangement is used for hole detection. A vertical zigzag conveyor is employed instead of the usual flat belt conveyor in order to utilize gravitational force as a driving force for feeding the products. 8051 Microcontroller is used for controlling the sorting mechanism by using program or coding. The cost of the project is nearly negligible as it is made from the waste except electrical components used for the project. Sincere efforts are taken to set an example of an inexpensive, reliable and easy to manufacture automated machine. The Paper focuses on the aspect of sorting mechanism with microcontroller programming and the automation tasks and solutions are obtained. The proposed developed model of this research could be adopted at any institution or industries, whose practices are based on mechatronics engineering systems. This is to guide the industrial sector in the sorting of object and teaching aid to institutions and hence produce the list of classified materials according to the enabled sorting program commands.
