INTRODUCTION

OBJECTIVE• Design a prototype model demonstrating automation of

one of lifting mechanism used in manufacturing process.• Prototype should be capable of lift at least 0.5 kg.• Prototype should maintain full control of the position of

the lifted weight.

MECHANICAL DESIGN AND LAYOUT

ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC DESIGN

Key Hardware1. Servo motor2. IR sensor or ultrasonic sensor 3. Urduino Uno 4. 12V power supply etc.5. Motor drive chip

LIMITATIONS• The transmitting mechanism proposed is slow due to use of

threads but can be easily changed to other linear actuators.

CONCLUSION• The mechanism operates slowly but satisfactorily.• The methodology can be easily adopted is simple and

adaptive for manufacturing.
