Conveyor Using Geneva Mechanism Presentation

Introduction to Conveyor using Geneva Mechanism
The Geneva mechanism is a type of intermittent motion mechanism used in conveyor systems. It consists of a driving wheel with a pin and a driven wheel with slots. The mechanism is designed to provide precise and controlled movement for transferring objects on a conveyor.	Image Source

Working Principle of Geneva Mechanism
As the driving wheel rotates, the pin pushes against the slot in the driven wheel, causing it to rotate. The driven wheel rotates only during a specific portion of the driving wheel's rotation, creating intermittent motion. This intermittent motion is ideal for moving objects on a conveyor at specific intervals.	Image Source
