OBJECTIVE
▪To develop a cost effective (economic) and compact
cricket bowling machine.
▪To provide provision for using sping, hard ball and rubber ball.
▪To provide provision for using various pattern of bowling style
such as straight, outswing, inswing, offbreak, leg break.

DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS
MOTOR
❖The type of motor used induction
motor
❖Speed=2500rpm
❖Current=0.5amp
❖Torque=1.5kg
❖Space between two motor=6.8cm
WHEEL
❖The wheel used is trolley wheel.
❖Weight of the wheel =850g
❖Diameter of the wheel=20cm
VALVE
❖Diameter of the valve =7cm
❖Diameter of the ball=6.8cm
❖Total height of the machine =1m

7.
SELECTION OF WHEEL
• We have undergone testing different types of wheels
such as Auto wheel, Scooter wheel and Trolley
wheel.
• After testing, we obtained good efficiency from
trolley wheel compared to other wheels.
• Also, it provides more friction, less in size and
weight.

8.
MECHANICALASPECTS
❖Wheels are mounted on base
for axial rotation in a common
plane.
❖The gap between the wheels
should be slightly less than the
diameter of ball to be thrown.
❖The speed of each wheel can
be adjustable independently.
❖This machine transfers the
kinetic energy to the ball by
frictional gripping of the ball
between two rotating wheels.
❖The adjustments of relative
speeds and rotation of plane of
the wheels gives wide
variations in the speed and
swing of the ball.

PROXIMITY SENSOR
• The wheel type metal rod is fixed
in the motor shaft.
• The proximity sensor is placed
near the shaft.
• When the shaft is rotating, the
metal rod is crossed the
proximity sensors sequentially.
• So the sensor gives the pulse to
the microcontroller.
• Now the microcontroller counts
the pulse.
• By using this pulse count we can
find revolution per minute which
is equal to speed of the
microcontroller.
