MULTI AXIS TILTING TRAILER SYSTEM EMBEDDED WITH PNEUMATIC AND PLC/ARDUINO CONTROL

Pneumatic multi-axis trailer is to be used mainly in construction and in industrial sites, where the space limitations are there. In this work, the material can be unloaded at any side of the trailer automatically by using ‘Pneumatic and Plc/Arduino Control’. Whereas in ordinary unloading is done at the backside only, here unloading is done in any direction. This system is totally operated with the pneumatic components with a linkage mechanism having the use of a chain-sprocket system. This work has been formed after studying the problem in unloading the materials. In small compact streets and small roads, it is difficult to unload the materials hence unloading angles are modified to unload the trailer in 0 to 270 degrees very easily. The effective use of ‘Pneumatic and Plc/Arduino Control’ is done. By pressing the Direction control valve, the compressed air goes to the pneumatic cylinder through the valve. The ram of the pneumatic cylinder used for lifting the trailer cabin. The rotation and other motions are achieved with the use of a chain drive mechanism. In this research an attempt is made to design and fabricate multi axis tilting trailer system embedded with pneumatic and Plc/Arduino control which may be useful to develop a mechanism for reducing time of loading and unloading, to provide easier way of dumping with less maintenance cost, to increase the efficiency of the vehicle and to reduce man power and also to achieve high safety, to reduce the work load and to reduce the fatigue of workers.
