----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------Abstract - This paper portrays about the Inspection of a Flywheel (mechanical component) through Sensors based innovation and furthermore Automation of the Flywheel Engraving Machine. In manufacturing a Flywheel, Boring operation is done using VMC Machine for fitting the crank shaft. After boring, the Internal Diameter must be Inspected, Categorized (as A,B,C,etc.) and after that it is to be Engraved on the flywheel by an Engraving or Etching machine. These operations are done manually only. This Manual Inspection of internal diameter, Categorization of flywheel and Manual assembly for engraving has prompt to numerous errors and dismissal of products in the market. To redress these issues, we have outlined a module by which every one of these operations are automated and controlled utilizing a Microcontroller which can be introduced with the machines in the industry effectively. Along these lines, we can get a High Quality, Standardized product, reviewed and manufactured through automation at a sensible cost. Mechatronics systems are implemented in the industry for its betterment. Key Words- Automation, Engraving Machine, Sensor based Inspection, Quality Improvisation in Manufacturing, Mechatronics systems. 1. Introduction In manufacturing a flywheel, the assembling procedure is carried out in a step-by-step manner. The last stage is to make opening (hole) for assembling the crank shaft. This opening is made utilizing VMC Boring machine. The opening must be smooth, impeccable and corresponding to the diameter of the shaft to fit in it. The Internal diameter of the flywheel, after boring is inspected physically, utilizing an Air gauge meter. Upon inspection, if the digital value is achieved, then the item can continue advance for Š 2017, IRJET

next operation. Now, based on the Internal Diameter, the flywheel is categorized as A,B,C,etc. And then it is to be engraved on the flywheel. This is done manually, which has prompt parcel of mistakes and low standard item. To eliminate these deformities, we have composed a minimized module to investigate the flywheel I.D. and to automate the flywheel assembly for a perfect engraving. This module can be introduced to the machine effortlessly and in this way enhances time traverse, quality, efficiency and productivity. The micro controller is programmed to control the entire operation. Sensors are used to inspect the Internal Diameter of the flywheel. Pneumatic drives and control are used to assemble the flywheel for engraving. Accordingly, the whole procedure is under electronic supervision and control, to lessen errors. 2. Related Works A robust automation assembly, an exact and productive technique for the inspection of completed assemblies. This algorithm is trained on synthetic pictures created utilizing CAD model of various segments of the assembly. The algorithm can detect errors by examining real images of the assembled product. Image processing plays a major role in this process. Thus inspection is carried out. [1] This work presents improvement of a model for the programmed engraving machine. The proposed framework is controlled utilizing PC, by setting drawing for imprint. Built model comprises of XYZ coordinates table (working region), where XY for position in the engraving region and Z axis for setting up little driller. Arduino board has been picked as a controller.
