DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF WEIGHT SENSING SYSTEM FOR PRODUCTION LINE

Abstract

Most of industries in our area are still using old techniques to measure the quality of their products. These old ways of measuring the quality are not applicable for every product and the checking is only by random samples. This method may affect the company if more products are out of production tolerance. So, this project is to design and fabricate weight sensing system that can be used in a production line in which the system can accept a specific weight to go in production line and reject others. The idea of this project comes after seeing the effects of going out of weight tolerance for some products that require quality. So, this report will screen the previous works and technologies which are related to the topic in literature review chapter to get benefits from them and avoid mistakes. No specific literature was identified with complete design of automatic weight sensing system. Personal interaction with the Reem batteries and power appliances results in the generation of the idea for designing and developing light weight sensing system. This project has faced some challenges which are: To identify a sensor that is having more sensitivity for the light weight and the method to amplify its low signal. These challenges have been solved by searching from different sources to get the best weight sensor and the suitable amplifier.
