Abstract:

Over Head Conveyors are used to transport material or components from one place to another place either for assembly or for transportation purpose. In the present work, overhead conveyor designs need to be done to for transporting the components for sand blasting applications. These members should be loaded and unloaded with an elliptical orbit. So the structure designed should take all types of loads resulting from the dynamic effects of the moving load. So channels sections which will reduce the weight to be selected and proper weld sizes need to be specified for structural safety to a take a maximum component load of 500Kg. Also the design should consider loading and unloading effects on the structure at overlap time. Due to the vibration with the hoist, the load effect on the structure should be analyzed properly and structural safety should be maintained under buckling and structural loads. Every section of the member should be checked for dynamic moving load.
