Velcro Cutting Machine using PLC Programming with Stepper Motor and Encoder

Abstract

Reducing the human efforts while manufacturing the product is an important factor which is considered in industry. Designing the system with very less or without any human participation is the main focus of manufacturing industries. At the same time focus is on increasing productivity and reduce the processing time. Proposed a system is ‘Velcro Cutting Machine with Stepper motor and encoder using PLC programming is an automated system which will help the industries to achieve above objectives. PLC is a main controller which will accept the input and take control action on the stepper motor. The cutter is attached to a stepper motor. The actions of the cutter are controlled by the stepper motor rotations. An HMI will be used by user to provide inputs. This is how this Velcro cutting machine will help in reducing human efforts and increasing productivity.
