Mecanismo automatizado de venda de copos descartáveis

Abstract

With the current technological advancements, the automatic control for machinery is one of the fast-growing, the more automated and practical the process is the faster it will be executed, from complex mechanisms to simple machines that we use on a daily basis. Machines such as vending machine, espresso coffee machine and even the music machine. Our case study is to identify the viability of an automatic machine to sell disposable cups to business, corporation or any establishment that have the need to sell disposable cups. This equipment is intended to sell disposable cups in an automatic way that will be more efficient and convenient for the consumers. With this machine, the consumers will be purchasing cups for less money and will be contributing to the conscious use without waste. In addition of replacing the human labor, this machine can also be used in companies as part of their recycling & reducing waste program. Instead of selling the cups, the companies can also determine a quantity of cups per person, the employees would use their badges to release their pre-determinate quantity of cups. In this case study, it was researched diverse types of movement mechanism by the use of pneumatic system. The intention is to go more in-depth with the project.
