Fully Automated Cotter Pin Insertion Using Servo Press

Few years ago, industries depended completely on man power which was the deciding factor of production rate, duration as well as economic status of industries. But now it is an era of AUTOMATION which decreases the stress on workers, helps in completion of the work faster and also decides the growth of industries. Instead of working hours together it's better to make the work easier using automatic control and operations in order to increase the rate of production and decrease the time consumption in completion of work. Also it is very difficult to pick and place heavy equipment, the workers may face problems. Hence, automatic pick and placing of the equipments and for other operations automation will be helpful considering the safety of workers. Here we are automatically inserting a cotter pin using servo press. Servo press consists of servo drive and servo motor .Using a programmable logic controller (plc.), the servo motor and the servo drive can be controlled in order to insert a cotter pin to the specific requirement
