Design of Arduino Uno-Based Automatic Object Sorter Belt Conveyor System Using Ultrasonic Sensors

Abstract

Belt conveyor is a fairly simple equipment used to transport load units or bulk
materials with a large capacity, the tool consists of belts that are resistant to
the transport of solid objects. The sabuk used in this Belt Conveyor is made
from various types of materials, for example from rubber, plastic, leather or
metal which depends on the type and nature of the material to be transported.
The testing process of this tool starts by turning on the Conveyor Belt, the
rotation on the Conveyor Belt is constant at a speed of 3.1 m / min and there
is no speed setting, the speed of the Conveyor Belt can be known using the
Tachometer tool and can be calculated manually using the formula v = s / t
where v = speed, s = distance and t = time. When the object is attached to the
Conveyor Belt the object will run and pass through the Ultrasonic sensor,
when the position of the object is directly under the sensor, the sensor will
detect the object based on the height or distance between the sensor and the
object, so that Arduino Uno can carry out the work process of the object falls
into category A, B or C.
