Abstract
This paper elaborates about solving the issue of the transaxle gear box damage during transmission. When transaxle gear box is placed directly on the conveyor palette for the transmission, it will get damaged due to the vibration occurs in conveyor. Due to the above mentioned problem, dimension of transaxle gear box get changes and shaft in the gear box will damage. In this paper we have suggested to implement lifting plate between palette and conveyor to avoid the above mentioned problems. Lifting plate is used to lift the palette from the conveyor during the transaxle gear box seating in the conveyor palette by gantry robotic system. Gantry robotic system is used to pick the transaxle gear box from assembly line and place it on the test line. Lifting plate is operated using pneumatic system, pneumatic cylinder is used to control the up and down movement of the lifting plate. Proximity sensor is used to sense the presence of palette on the lifting plate, when the palette presence is found on the lifting plate, then the lifting plate starts to lift the palette. After the seating of transaxle gear box in the palette, lifting plate starts to pull down the palette and place it conveyor. The conveyor starts to transmit the transaxle gear box through palette to next stage for further processing.
