Abstract:
This paper pertains to performance, productivity, ruggedness and other parameter wise comparison between manually operated, hardware timer based version of extrusion blow Molding machine used for casting of hollow plastic toys with same machine provided with PLC for process automation through the project done at Disha Industries, MIDC Amravati. The result shows improvement in overall machine performance and reduced hardware troubleshooting complexity due to programmable process sequence and editing environment of PLC. This paper deals with the comparison between timer based automatic machine and PLC based automatic Blow Molding machine.
