“…Differentiated objects may be sorted using pneumatic actuators, 4,6,10 or via retracting belts. 11 However, in this project, cost is minimized by using solid arms connected to a RC servo motor to guide the objects into their designated exit.…”

“…In the system, loaded object is detected and recognized by various sensors. In the literature, many researchers rely on a single sensor, which would include: a color sensor, 3 or Internet Protocol camera to detect the color of an object 4 ; a capacitive sensor to sort objects by their material 5 ; IR or ultrasonic proximity sensors; and a photoelectric sensor 6 or RFID 7,8 to identify objects on the belt. However in this set-up 9 , a capacitive, an inductive, and a color sensor are used together to differentiate objects to increase the educational value.…”

Programmable logic controllers (PLC) have been one of the most widely used controllers in industry. They have a graphical programming language interface resambling the relay panels which they are intended to replace so that the transition from relay panels might be swift and smooth. Although learning this programming language is easy, real life experiments are essential for students to gain greater understanding of the logic behind the language. However, it is generally too expensive to provide an experimental set-up for students to test their theoretical knowledge. For this reason, a conveyor and feeder system was developed as a low cost 3D printable design using a CAD program and implemented for use in a control laboratory. Using this conveyor set-up, students can experience how to program a practical example of a PLC devices used in industry together with an introduction to actuators and sensors. Reading actual sensors and using actuators via the inputs and outputs of a PLC to control a real life system will be far more effective than simulator alternatives.
