| dc.description.abstract | This project presents the design and construction of a Pneumatic Metal Detection and
Sorting System utilizing a microcontroller. The system is designed to automatically
detect metallic objects from a conveyor belt based on their material composition. This
automated machine controlled by an Arduino Pro Mini and Proximity Sensor,
efficiently separates metal & non-metal pieces, placing them in a bucket. Results
demonstrate accurate sorting with a reasonable good average time. Components include
SMPS, Relay, IR Sensor, DC Gear Motor, Air Cylinder, Air Compressor and Pneumatic
Solenoid Valve. The system offers potential applications in recycling plants,
manufacturing facilities and quality control processes. This project showcases the
integration of electronics, sensors and automation to enhance industrial processes and
reduce manual labor, contributing to increased productivity and efficiency. | en_US |
