This Project explains how to build a belt conveyor system with product counter and weight measurement unit.

This system ensures the quality and quantity of the product being conveyed from one system to another.

This system can be used individually as an intermediate secondary system to convey a product (eg: packed cement bags) from one system to another.

Counter(+) & counter(-) buttons are used to adjust the number of products required.

Enter button is used to set the adjusted product count and turn on the system.

In this model project, load cell is used as the weight measuring sensor to detect whether the product is in 800g-1200g range.

If the Product is not within the range, the fourth motor(04) will act as a reject arm(screw linear motion) and push the rejected product from the weight measuring plate to a side.(to an another system or waste bin)

If the product is in the 800g-1200g range, then the product is conveyed to the second belt area using third motor(03), which starts the first belt conveyor.

The product will continue along the second belt area until it gets detected by the IR sensor, which will count the product passing through.

If the set product count and number of products detected by IR sensor is equal; the system will stop after a time delay. (Time delay is used to convey the last counted product to be moved to the next belt area)

Then the third belt will convey the product to the next system.

EXPANDED TECHNICAL DETAILS

Industrial Logistics Automation Simulation

This project builds a functional miniature belt conveyor system, demonstrating the core principles of factory automation and material handling.

  • Closed-Loop Speed Control: Uses a geared DC motor with an optical encoder. The Arduino runs a simplified PID loop to maintain a constant belt speed regardless of the weight of the objects being transported.
  • Optical Object Counting Matrix: Features IR break-beam sensors at both ends of the belt. The Arduino automatically counts every item that passes through and displays the "Total Inventory" on an LCD.

Interaction

  • Automatic "Stop-on-Full" Safety: If the exit sensor is blocked for more than 3 seconds (indicating a pile-up), the Arduino instantly halts the conveyor and sounds a "System Jam" alarm.
