Improvement of Conveyor Gravity in Cleanroom Area

Abstract

Abstract— The conveyor system is a widespread hardware that controls products that will move materials from one position to another. The previous pattern on the conveyor unit used a belt to move the container by connecting the belt to the motor to move a certain base. The condition in the previous pattern was that the timing belt was irregular and the base became slippery which caused the belt to break, so that the production process stopped. The purpose of this paper is to change the conveyor system that previously used a belt to drive the container, now the author changes the way the conveyor works by moving the container without using a belt, using the gravity method, namely the conveyor path is made sloping with a height of 70-75 cm and a length of 5 meters (adjusting the length of the previous conveyor). so the container will slide on the path that is made sloping and the container reaches the stopping point the sensor will detect the container when the sensor detects that there is a container, the cylinder will work to carry the container up.
