Projects
Cam-Based Mechanical Ventilator for Respiratory Support

Designed and developed a mechanical ventilation mechanism using a cam-driven system to generate controlled reciprocating motion. Integrated mechanical components with an electromechanical drive system to provide controlled respiratory cycles. Focused on reliable mechanical motion, adjustable operating parameters and safe operation.

Automated Bottle Cap Inspection System

Developed an automated system for detecting and inspecting bottle caps on a production line. Applied sensors and automation concepts to identify incorrect, missing or improperly positioned caps. Designed the system to improve inspection consistency and reduce dependence on manual inspection.

Automated Motor Forward-Reverse Control System

Designed an automated forward/reverse motor control system using electrical control components. Implemented interlocking and control logic to prevent simultaneous forward and reverse operation. Developed practical skills in motor control, contactors, relays, sensors and industrial control circuits.
