Design and analysis of roller conveyor and fixture
ARTICLE INFO Roller conveyor for diesel engine assembly line is a effective technique for numbering engine blocks using laser machine. Main objective of roller conveyor for diesel engine assembly line is to modernize the manual technique. By using this technique, the roller conveyor for diesel engine assembly line we can number the engine parts automatically and computerized by using laser with it. This technique is time saving over the conventional technique. Manually printing numbers and verification on engine blocks is time consuming process. This process includes manual printing and inspection which leads to increase the lean time of operation as well as manual efforts. This project presents design of automatic conveyor system which contains design of roller, fixture. It proposes a new approach for fixture configuration design for a family of diesel engine block with technique are using laser as a printing elements which print engine serial number by using roller conveyor assembled in a single reconfigurable line. The problem formulated as a constrained design by considering frame of roller conveyor, roller, fixture with pins, The result using this technique is time saving over the conventional technique. Main conclusion of roller conveyor for diesel engine assembly line is to modernize the manual technique. The aim of this research is to help these numbering of engine block with using laser machine by totally computerized process. The problem formulated as a constrained design by considering frame of roller conveyor, roller, and fixture with pins used to solve the design of machine problem and established the total layout of the diesel engine assembly line. Keywords roller, fixture, engine block, automatic conveyor system, laser printing machine. Article History Received :18 th November 2015 Received in revised form
