Automatic Component Feeding System for Centerless Grinding Machine

In the present work external centerless grinding machine, the manual feeding of work pieces can be replaced by designing and development of automatic feeding system which helps to feed the work pieces automatically into the centerless grinding machine. It comprises hydraulic system and controlling mechanism, as per the grinding machine specifications with particular reference to the grinding of various drills as per manufacturing capability. This system eliminates fatigue to operator due to repetitive work. The objective of switching over to automation is to minimize the errors incorporated due to conventional operations. This further led to cycle time reduction with increase in the productivity accuracy. All the parts and assembly modeling of automatic loading and unloading system using CATIA V5R19. The cycle time analysis result shows to find the number of work pieces grind per minute and also show how the process takes place with respect to the time.
