PLC based Pick and Place Automation System Conveyor Transfer

This video shows the demonstration of “PLC based Pick and Place Product Sorting Machine”. Product Sorting system is a part of Industrial Automation, which plays a key role for packaging finished products in industries like Pharmaceuticals, Cosmetics, Food, Beverage and also services like E-commerce, Courier and Parcel.

‘Pick and place’ is the act of picking things up from one location and placing them at another. This system shown in the video above is ‘Pick and Place’ type product sorting system. Basically, this sorting system has two conveyor belts where one yields metallic products and another yields non-metallic product as output.

Here products are fed into first conveyor belt. As the moving product reaches near proximity sensor it sends an electrical signal to the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), PLC then sends an electrical signal to Pneumatic Solenoid valve. A pneumatic solenoid valve is a device which operates (Open/Close) on the basis of digital input sent to it. Therefore, as the product reaches in front proximity sensor a double acting type cylinder lowers down due to the inlet of pneumatic pressure from the solenoid valve.

So, if the product is metallic then it will be lifted up by electromagnet , if the product is non-metallic then it will be left on the first conveyor belt itself. This lifting is done by a strong electromagnet, attracting only metal products.

Now, another Pneumatic Cylinder places the lifted product on top of the second conveyor belt, where the piston lowers down and places the metallic product. During the entire ‘Pick and Place’ process the conveyor belts is switched off (put steady) by PLC.

A proximity sensor senses the placement of product on second conveyor belt for efficient conveyor transfer, belt is turned on, this moving conveyor belt puts the product in the bin.
