Conveyor - DC Motor
Summer 2023
The ambition of this project was to create a Conveyor for a factory floor. The Conveyor had to have an adjustable speed setting, be reversible, be powered by 120 VAC / 60 Hz, use components from around the factory, be less expensive than a replacement, and subsequently require minimal additional components.

Final Results
This project was a success! The final product resulted in a fully capable Reversible Adjustable Speed DC Motor Conveyor.
The cost was limited to the cost of the motor and shipping, as well as 3 hours of labor to throw it together.
The final product was used as intended, on the factory floor to carry plastic parts from the injection machine output to the bins.
