Design, Analysis and Weight Optimization of Roller Conveyor System by using Glass Fiber Composite Material

Abstract

In this paper I studied problem in existing conveyor system and optimized critical part of roller conveyor system like Roller. Industrial roller conveyor having MS rollers due to this sagging is induced in roller support. Hence Company required optimizing weight of roller to avoid sagging. Paper contains geometrical modelling and finite element analysis of existing design and optimizes design. Geometrical modelling is done Using CATIA V5R20 and FEA was done with the help of ANSYS 14.5. also manufacturing of new roller using glass fiber material and testing of both roller by using UTM to validation of ANSYS results.
