Pneumatic Bumper for Four Wheeler

The technology of pneumatics has gained tremendous importance in the field of workplace rationalization and automation from old-fashioned timber works and coalmines to modern machine shops and space robots. It is therefore important thattechnicians and engineers should have a good knowledge of pneumatic system, air operated valves and accessories.

The aim is to design and develop a control system based anintelligent electronically controlled automotive bumper activationsystem is called “

AUTOMATIC PNEUMATIC BUMPER 

”.

This system isconsists of IR transmitter and Receiver circuit, Control Unit, Pneumatic bumper system.The IR sensor is used to detect the obstacle. There is any obstacle closer to the vehicle(with in 4 feet), the control signal is given to the bumper activation system.The pneumatic bumper system is used to protect the man and vehicle. This bumper activation system is only activated the vehicle speed above 40-50 km per hour. Thisvehicle speed is sensed by the proximity sensor and this signal is given to the control unitand pneumatic bumper activation system.

CHAPTER-2INTRODUCTION

We have pleasure in introducing our new project “

AUTOMATICPNEUMATIC BUMPER”,

which is fully equipped by IR sensors circuit and Pneumatic bumper activation circuit. It is a genuine project which is fully equipped and designed for Automobile vehicles. This forms an integral part of best quality. This product underwentstrenuous test in our Automobile vehicles and it is good.

NEED FOR AUTOMATION:

Automation can be achieved through computers, hydraulics, pneumatics, robotics,etc., of these sources, pneumatics form an attractive medium for low cost automation.The main advantages of all pneumatic systems are economy and simplicity. Automation plays an important role in mass production.For mass production of the product, the machining operations decide thesequence of machining. The machines designed for producing a particular product arecalled transfer machines. The components must be moved automatically from the bins to various machines sequentially and the final component can be placed separately for  packaging. Materials can also be repeatedly transferred from the moving conveyors to thework place and vice versa. Nowadays almost all the manufacturing process is being atomized in order todeliver the products at a faster rate. The manufacturing operation is being atomized for the following reasons.



To achieve mass production



To reduce man power 



To increase the efficiency of the plant



To reduce the work load



To reduce the production cost



To reduce the production time



To reduce the material handling



To reduce the fatigue of workers



To achieve good product quality



Less Maintenance
