Design and construction of nut feeder sorting system
The purpose of this thesis is to design a sorting machinery for nut fastener with a concept of weight checking machine. The machine detects the weight of the nut on a conveyor by using load cell sensor. The nuts will be placed into a vibratory bowl feeder to line up the nuts. After the nuts are queued, they will be transferred into the weight checking conveyor to determine which container will the nuts be placed. To prevent the load cell from over reading, the gate on the bowl feeder will be placed near the exit and the nuts will be fed one by one. Kicker will be installed to kick the nuts into the container depending on the weight of the nuts. Nuts outside of known weight will be thrown into a rejected container. The opening and closing of the kicker and the gate will be controlled by using infrared sensor.
