Retrofitting of Boring Machine using MITSUBISHI PLC

Abstract

The aim of the project is to implement the automatically controlled boring by using PLC. The manual method to work gear case product requires operations to be done by  labors. The PLC is used to process the process by using ladder diagram program in which required sequence of operations are programmed. The movement of material to feed the boring tool is carried out by the sliding the job which is controlled by the limit switch and motors. This project is cost effective and saves the processing time and maintains accurate dimensions of the product. Push buttons are used as an inputs. The machine can work in both manual and automatic modes as per required by the worker.
