ABSTRACT

Packaging being a process manufacturing industry’s important process as outputs are

required to keep in storages, safety of .product and deliver according to requirements. Most small
scale industries have order from other company. The end process of manufacturing has high cost
of automated packing system. Small scale industries has to use manual methods of packaging with
low efficiency, longer delivery time, higher labor cost in order to meet customer’s requirement,
The automated packing system requires different mechanical and control devices such as
conveyor, motors and Controllers which provides sequential process.
KEYWORDS: Packaging, efficiency, control devices, labour cost.

INTRODUCTION

Packaging is one of the most important production processes. It is a value adding activity
which the manufacturer often uses to effectively project its brands[1]. The stamping process is
incorporated in packaging operation to identify and confirm to important data like product
registration number, manufacturing date and expiration date that meets legal and statutory
requirements of the food industries. The importance of packaging can therefore cannot be over
emphasized2.
In the modern fast world of new and latest technologies, everyone goes for perfection and
quickness. The present practice in food packaging industries is that, stamping is manually done by
operatives and may require up to seven operatives per line if one need to achieve a higher
output[4]. This single action is time consuming, generate higher expenditure and also result to poor
finishing by operatives during manual stamping process to meet production target. In order to
achieve higher productivity and safe tremendous cost there is need for automatic stamping if small
scale industries are to remain competitive while maximizing profit3.
Automation has been defined as “the use of control systems such as pneumatics,
hydraulics, electrical, electronics and computers to control industrial machinery and processes,
reducing the use of human intervention. In small-scale and medium scale food packaging

industries there are frequent need of stamping machine to imprint images or data on their cartons
after packaging5.

LITERATURE SURVEY

We work on “automatic stamping machine.” Automatic stamping machine is working on

the principle of microcontroller. By using this machine we can easily print our logo or name on
leather, card board, papers, and plastic articles crafts by using pad printing tool1.

Packaging is one of the end process of every manufacturing industries as outputs are
required to be stored, protected and shipped according to customers’ requirements. Most small
scale industries have outsourced the end process of manufacturing due to high cost of using
automated means of stamping cartons, papers and nylons. Small scale industries have been
accustomed to manual methods of stamping with low machine efficiency, longer delivery time,
high labour costs in a quest to meet customers’ requirements. This current trend of stamping
problems has made the small scale enterprises to lose large number of market share to the large
scale manufacturing outfits. The need to make stamping process affordable, using easy to maintain
machines and also complying to rood regulatory bodies necessitated the need for this work. An
Automated Stamping Machine driven by pneumatic systems that consists of air compressor,
directional control valves, air service unit was designed, fabricated, tested and operated. The
FluidSim software made by Festo didactic using the cascade method was adopted in the design and
stimulation of the pneumatic circuit. The selection of materials as well as methods in relation to
engineering properties and design parameters such safety factor, force of rotation, stress analysis,
bending moments and speed of travels were derived during the fabrication processes. Before
starting the stamping operation, the pre packed product is positioned at the beginning of the belt
travel and the belt guide prevents the packed job from moving out of its travel due to any external
constraints9.
The job to be imprinted was loaded in the stock hold plate on the cylinder A. The
compressor and the start button of the electric motor were switched on. The motor drives the roller
over which runs the conveyor belt that carries the job. The compressed air flows into the system
from a compressor. The compressed air entered the system and passes through the Filter-Regulator
–Lubricator unit. The FRL unit prepares the compressed air for utilization by the pneumatic
components. Once exiting the FRL unit is started and the compressed air led into the manifold or
the air distributor, immediately the manifold takes in the compressed air and splits it into the
required number depending on the number of components used and the compressed air is sent to

the components from the manifold. The compressed air flows to the direction control valve that
controls the cylinders. The stamping machine utilizes two pneumatic cylinders to carry out the
stamping and ejection of the prepackaged items. The two cylinders are configured to operate in a
controlled sequential manner in order to execute the required operations3.

From the ancient time stamping action is done manually. The project named titled as
automatic stamping machine for post card, the purpose of this project is not only to minimize the
human effort but also to minimize the time required for this action with the help of conveyor belt
and rack and pinion mechanism. This machine utilizes electricity and gives a last impression on
card as an output. The design and fabrication of automatic stamping machine for postcard consist
of rack and pinion mechanism, conveyor belt, dc motor, shaft and bearing. When the current
supply is given to system the dc motor start as well as it rotates the conveyor. Here we use the
relay as a switch, when the card comes to the stamping arm, relay stop the dc motor and actuate the
rack and pinion mechanism, as it moves in linear direction the card get stamp. This machine can be
used in post office, school and colleges for stamping on id card. It is also use in many industries.
By changing the rubber stamp this machine can be used for giving the any shape and size of mark
on card, like logos, signature, etc. The design provide comfort for the operator. This machine
works efficiently and satisfactorily4.
This research work involves the application of electro pneumatics for stamping of products using
pneumatic cylinder5,11.

PROPOSED SYSTEM

The project is creating a prototype for Printing Machine For the company. The target machine i.e.
To design and development of Automatic Stamping Machine Using sensor system

OBJECTIVE
 To study drawback of traditional system.
 To develop a prototype of the mechanical design.
 To develop microcontroller based system for sensor to detect the object.
 Testing of system and evaluation.

CONCLUSION

From the ancient time stamping action is done manually. The purpose of this project is not only to
minimize the human effort but also to minimize the time required for this action with the help of
conveyor belt and rack & pinion mechanism. This machine utilizes electricity and gives a last
impression on the card as a output.
This machine can be used in post office, school and colleges for stamping on post cards, identity
cards etc. By changing the rubber stamp this machine can be used for giving any shape and size of
mark on the card like logo, signature etc. The design provides comfort for operator and the
operation is efficient and satisfactory.
