Abstract

This project report presents the work done on the design of automatic metal strips pallet stacker for slitting machine. Slitting machine is a machine used in food can manufacturing to cut the tinplate sheet into equally small rectangular shape metal strips. The machine delivers the cut metal strips to the metal strips stacker which located at the end of the machine. The collected metal strips are transferred to the wooden pallet manually by at least one operator. The automatic metal strips pallet stacker is an upgraded of the slitting machine collector for which the cut metal strips from the slitting machine is deposited at the wooden pallet automatically without any manual process. The design constraints of this project is determined by the specification of the slitting machine used in Comfish Industries Sdn. Bhd.. Several software are compared in terms of ease of use, export capabilities and material properties based on the information from the referred journal to select the software for designing the automatic metal strip pallet stacker for the slitting machine. The initial sketching of the design ideas have been produced after studied the existing slitting machine metal strips stacker in the existing market. The detail design and assembly drawing of the designed idea is created using the SolidWork software. After the detail drawing is produced, the functional components of the design have been subjected under the stress and displacement analysis to ensure that it will not fail when the load is acted on it. In addition, the factor of safety of the Conveyor A and Conveyor B also have been computed and both of them are considered safe to be used in the real application. At the end of this project, the designed machine and it soft model are successfully done. For future work, it was suggested to fabricate and test the machine and improve it if necessary.
