AUTOMATION OF

PLASTERING IN
CONSTRUCTION

BATCH-5

 Plaster is a mixture of lime (or) gypsum with

sand and water, used to cover the walls and
ceilings.
Plastering is used for fire resistance, humidity
resistance, shock resistance
Plastering is done by using sledges with man
power.

Problem Statement:
We need to automate the plastering which shall save a lot
of time and fasten the construction. For this automation
we need a essential components which fulfill all the
requirements that shall replace the human effort and work
as effectively as a human. The basic components which
we shall use in order to fulfill the requirements are:

SENSOR
Sensor is a device which detects the change in variable and sends
a

feedback signal to the controller which in time activates the

actuator to perform the task. Here we use LVDT on the supports.

The linear variable differential transducer(LVDT) a type of
electrical transformer used for measuring linear displacement
(position). With the help of LVDT we can know the position of
sledge in between the two supports.

ACTUATOR:
Actuator receives or is controlled by controller. In this
automation we use high torque D.C motors. This
motors shaft is connected to a quick return mechanism
which moves the sledge in reciprocating motion in
between the sledges. This motor is given a power
supply by using high voltage batteries. We use high
torque motors in order to gain instantaneous speed.

CONTROLLER:
In this case study we used micro controller which only
concentrates on receiving feedback signal from the
sensor and actuating the motor. Micro controllers are
easy to mount and effective functioning of single
functioning.

MODELING:
Here we are using electro-mechanical system. We use mass,
spring and damper as blocks in mechanical system. Sledge and
supports comes under mechanical system. Resistor inductor and
capacitor comes under the blocks of electrical system. Motor and
a battery belongs to this electrical system

DISPLAY UNIT:
Here we use a transient bulb as a display at the base of the
system. As the sledge reaches its bottom point pressure energy is
converted to electric energy and the bulb is lightened. The
number of times

bulb is lightened is number of cycles

completed by sledge in the system

CONCLUSION:
Hence with this automation we can create revolution in the
construction field. We can create or build the buildings with
ease. The problem is with this innovation much labour
becomes work less but consideration is time and accuracy
which are high with this system
