INTRODUCTION
1.Box transfer mechanism is a type of mechanism which uses links to
transport the box from one place to another.
2.It uses four bar chain mechanism to transport the box.
3.In this mechanism, four links are connected in the closed loop for the
movement to take place.
4.The objective of our project is to produce a mechanism that delivers
this stop & move motion of boxes by use of mechanical linkages.

NEED OF BOX TRANSFER MECHANISM

1.To reduce the friction losses as it occurs in the conveyer belts.

2.To reduce the effect of the slip as it occurs in conveyer belts.
3.Transport the box in the minimum time than the conveyer belts.
4.To use low power motors than the conveyer belts.
5.Unlike conveyer belts, it requires almost no lubrication.

OBJECTIVE
1.Fabricate a box transfer mechanism which can move things from one place to
another place.
2. Understand project planning and execution.
3. Understand the fabrication techniques in a mechanical workshop.
4. Understand the usage of various mechanical machine tools & measuring
tools.

WORK PLAN

1. Study of box shifting mechanism.

2.Analyse the problems in box shifting mechanism.
3.Design the required components.
4.Select the required material.
5.Purchase the material.
6.Fabrication of Box shifting mechanism.
7.Preparation of report and submit.

ADVANTAGES OF BOX SHIFTING MECHANISM

1.Box shifting time is very less.

2.No lubrication is required.
3.Less friction b/w moving parts as compared to conveyer belts.
4.Slip phenomenon is absent.
5.Low power motor can be used.
6.More reliable and efficient.

DISADVANTAGE OF BOX SHIFTING

MECHANISM

1.Skilled worker is required to operate.

2.System will failed if any link gets failed.
3.Use strong material for link to resist the forces.
4.Setup of assembly requires high initial cost.

APPLICATIONS OF BOX SHIFTING

MECHANISM

1.We can used this mechanism in medical production fields.

2. We can used this mechanism in bottle filling process.
3.We can used this mechanism in cool drinks production companies.

FUTURE SCOPE OF WORK

Earlier, the process of transporting or shifting products from one place to

another was to be maintained by conveyors only.
So we just successfully altered this with a box shifting mechanism using the
kinematics links and a motor.
We had just implemented our basic mechanical knowledge and designing skills
for designing and fabricating this project successfully.
