The applications of conveyer are increasing day by day in the manufacturing industries due to its flexibility andaccuracy in material handling. Industries like packaging and food processing uses conveyer for the rapid production and lesspower utilization in material handling. In general, only a single type of object like tablets, bottles or trays are monitored andcontrolled on a single conveyor in pharmaceutical industries. The trays or boxes on the conveyor are to be stopped at therequired station and material to be filled in the trays on conveyor. This can be done using the induction type proximitysensors and counters placed at different positions in the system. The IR sensor is used for safety as interlock the materialhandling system. In given system, we can do the design and fabrication of automatic tablet counting & shifting mechanism inbelt conveyor used in the packaging & transportation system in tablet packaging for pharmaceutical industries. The numberof trays/boxes to be filled by tablets can be transfer by using arrangements of proximity sensors & pneumatic locking alongwith counting system. The output packaging fixed can be easily altered in between the process.
