ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: We would like to take opportunity to express our humble gratitude to Mr. Denis ashok S under whom we executed this project. His constant guidance and willingness to share his vast knowledge made us understand this project and its manifestations in great depths and helped us to complete the assigned tasks. And also we would like to thank Mr. Pandivelan C who gave this opportunity for us.
ABSTRACT: An arrangement for gripping metallic work pieces formed of ferromagnetic materials or electrically conductive materials, by means of electromagnetic forces. The electromagnetic interaction with the part is the key issue in the electromagnetic gripping and this project helps in the realisation of concept of automation in an iron foundry. It is an assembly formed of a housing having an electromagnetic coil armature reciprocally mounted
INTRODUCTION: The industrial robots are one of the most important devices for better, modern and safer automation. Requirements of today’s manufacturing industries are very high. To meet the requirements of the market many companies decide to use industrial robots for better and cheaper products. The industrial robots can perform work in many areas of the industry e.g. pick and place objects, assembly, welding, painting and many more. There are several advantages of using industrial robots in manufacturing. Some of the benefits are:
•Since the robots are flexible and possible to reprogram, increases the possibility of changing in the production.
•The working environment for the man becomes better and easier, because the robot can carry heavy and do dangerous work.
•More efficient production for a lower cost.
•The robots can repeat the same work in exactly the same way, therefore the quality of the production increases.
The robots who work in a certain area must have a suitable gripper for the work.
