Abstract
This article presents the design and manufacturing process of inclined conveyor combined with vacuum system. Products are transported from the inlet conveyor at a high speed of 120 products/min and must be moved to a position approximately 1.0 meters above the inlet conveyor and give an equivalent output capacity of 120 products/minute. In this system, the transmission mechanism consists of two parts, which is the conveying part of the conveyor belt and the second part is the mechanism that generates the suction force according to the principle of air vacuum. The whole system is controlled by Mitsubishi FX3G PLC and Arduino Nano. Experimental results show that the system meets the design requirements with negligible errors. The initial required product volume is up to 200 grams,
but the system can meet up to 300 grams due to the suction mechanism using a vacuum with a larger capacity than calculated.
