The goal of this project is to build a training table to be used in a manufacturing plant to train manufacturing employees how conveyor drives function. In addition to showing functionality, this tool will also be interactive so that employees can learn basic operational/mechanical tasks. The expected outcome of this project is to have a working training table delivered at the end of the project. The table should have the following components *P&G to provide a conveyor and belt that is commonly used in plant *A Belt and Pulley system should be developed to drive the conveyor * The belt and pulley system should be easily serviced so that students can learn how to exchange pulleys, belts, couplings conveyor screens, motors * A motor will need to sized with a simple circuit to start and stop this motor. Motor should be able to run off standard 120 Volt Outlet * Training system should be mounted on simple cart with appropriate guarding and ease of movement P&G will provide list of components to be used/where to source these parts
