This document discusses conveyor systems and powered turntable conveyors. It describes several types of conveyors including roller, belt, chain, and overhead conveyors. It then provides details on a powered turntable conveyor case study, including its bill of materials, specifications, and applications in manufacturing processes like punching, bending, cutting, welding, and milling. Production systems that commonly use conveyors are also mentioned.

3. Large family of material transport equipment designed to move materials
over fixed paths, usually in large quantities or volumes
1. Non-powered
 Materials moved by human workers or by gravity
2. Powered
 Power mechanism for transporting materials is contained in the fixed
path, using chains, belts, rollers or other mechanical devices

Conveyor Types

8. Roller Conveyor
 Pathway consists of a
series of rollers that are
perpendicular to
direction of travel
 Loads must possess a flat
bottom to span several
rollers
 Powered rollers rotate to
drive the loads forward
 Un-powered roller
conveyors also available

9. Skate-Wheel Conveyor
 Similar in operation to
roller conveyor but use
skate wheels instead of
rollers
 Lighter weight and
unpowered
 Sometimes built as
portable units that can be
used for loading and
unloading truck trailers
in shipping and receiving

10. Belt Conveyor
 Continuous loop with
forward path to move
loads
 Belt is made of
reinforced elastomer
 Support slider or rollers
used to support forward
loop
 Two common forms:
 Flat belt (shown)
 V-shaped for bulk
materials
(Support frame not shown)

11. Chain Conveyor
 Chain conveyors utilize a
powered continuous chain
arrangement, carrying a series of
single pendants.
 The chain arrangement is driven
by a motor, and the material
suspended on the pendants are
conveyed.
 Chain conveyors are used for
moving products down
an assembly line and/or around
a manufacturing or warehousing
facility

12. In-Floor Tow-Line Conveyor
 Four-wheel carts powered
by moving chains or cables
in trenches in the floor
 Carts use steel pins (or
grippers) to project below
floor level and engage the
chain (or pulley) for towing
 This allows the carts to be
disengaged from towline
for loading and unloading

13. In-Floor Tow-Line Conveyor

14. Overhead Trolley Conveyor
 A trolley is a wheeled
carriage running on an
overhead track from
which loads can be
suspended
 Trolleys are connected and
moved by a chain or cable
that forms a complete loop
 Often used to move parts
and assemblies between
major production areas

21. 1- Punching Process:
Punching is a cutting process in which material is
removed from a piece of sheet metal by applying a
great enough shearing force
1-a - Nibbling
Punching a series of small overlapping slits or holes
along a path to cutout a larger contoured shape. This
eliminates the need for a custom punch and die but
will require secondary operations to improve the
accuracy and finish of the feature.
Process design and Machines Capabilities

22. Nibbling Machine
For sheet metal
Thickness ≤ 5 mm

23. 2- Bending Process:
Bending is a metal forming process in
which a force is applied to a piece of
sheet metal, causing it to bend at an
angle and form the desired shape. A
bending operation causes deformation
along one axis, but a sequence of several
different operations can be performed to
create a complex part.
Process design and Machines Capabilities

24. Bending Machine For sheet metal
Thickness ≤ 6 mm

25. 3- CNC Plasma Cutting:
Machine uses advanced technology to be
able to take CAD (Computer Aided
Design) models we create for you,
directly from the computer
and translate that information directly
into computer controlled motions which
allows us to cut exact patterns out of any
metal with plasma.
Process design and Machines Capabilities

26. CNC Plasma Cutting
For sheet and
plate metal
Thickness from
3mm to 20 mm

27. 4 – Sawing machine:
Process design and Machines Capabilities

28. 5 – MIG Welding Process :
is a welding process in which an electric
arc forms between a consumable wire
electrode and the workpiece metal(s),
which heats the workpiece metal(s),
causing them to melt, and join. Along with
the wire electrode, a shielding gas feeds
through the welding gun, which shields
the process from contaminants in the air

29. 6 – CNC Turning machine:
Process design and Machines Capabilities
For Turning Rollers , Shafts
and Pins

30. 7 – CNC Milling machine:
Process design and Machines Capabilities
For Milling base plate , drilling
and tapping
