Development of advanced automatic sorting machine using weighing mechanism

Abstract

This paper presents, design, build, assemble and commission of an automatic Sorting machine by using Weighing mechanism. The popular measuring technique is weighing scales or weighing machines. Weighing machines are measuring instruments which are used to determine the weight or mass of an object. The electronic weight detection system is classified into two types: the strain/ force gauge load cell and the electromagnetic force system. Strain gauge load cells are the most common in industry. In this system, Weight of the object moving in the conveyor is measured. Then it is sorted based on its weight the measured. The weight of the product is feed to the controller. The standard weight of the product is set to the controller. When the weight is not equal to the preset value, the object is sorted in one side. If it meets the value, it is sorted to the other side. This is the basic mechanism used in the sorting machine by weight.
