Abstract—This paper presents the process forming of earthen pot by automatically with the related search. The study specifies factors influencing the clay forming process and recommends a number of design options for an automated forming system. These are based on a systematic analysis of the forming process and testing of a prototype forming system consisting of a standard articulated robot. For which we consider literatures reviews &some of them are explained. Keywords: Automation, robotics, manufacturing systems, clay forming, process analysis, terracotta. I. INTRODUCTION The art of pottery is one of the oldest skills known to the Indians. From time immemorial, lumps of clay were mounded by hand to form toys and deities of worship. The advent of the potter's wheel gave man the opportunity to make beautifully shaped pots for his personal use. Over time, this craft evolved into various specialized categories like simple clay pottery, glazed pottery, terracotta pottery, blue pottery, paper thin pottery, etc. which are being practiced in various parts of India today. Control Theory to drive Inv-IM. Pottery is probably the commonest find on most archaeological sites. In most circumstances organic material will decay and metals corrode. Potsherds tend to be more stable. For this reason archaeologists frequently use fragments of pottery as aid to help them date their sites. The craft of glazed pottery has its origin in Persia. The craft reached perfection in the country in time Excavations carried out in Persia have revealed that the early potters were familiar with the use of luster of different hues, one of the few things apparently which the Chinese potter did not employ, even if he knew that metallic luster was a serviceable medium for decorative purposes. The art of glazed blue pottery came to India through Persia. Earlier, Egypt and Mesopotamia were in possession of blue tiles this art, introduced by the Muslims in India, underwent transitional changes. While it declined during the conservative Mughal king Aurangzeb’s time, it later flourished in Jaipur during Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh’s time (1835‐ 1880). He sent the local artists to Delhi to be trained by the famous potter Bhola. The descendants of the very first potters still practice the craft. Sawai Ram Singh set up a school of art and encouraged artists and craftsmen from all over the country to come and settle in Jaipur and practices the craft. This ancient craft is one of the oldest in Rajasthan. Today, many schools of pottery are scattered in different parts of the state. The blue pottery of Jaipur is the most exquisite and best known all over the world. The potteries as conventionally made by manually. Manual pottery makes has inherent defects like precision, quality, finish, consistency, low production etc. The skill of labor is the greatest concern of the industry. The mechanization of the profile making operation is solution to such issues. II. CONCEPT Introducing automation was to overcome problems with the current manual forming method. In mechanism there are a numbers of uncertain factors such as, the thrower must lean into the bottom of large pots and apply the force required for forming. Consider also some aspect of the pot output: lubrication, forming tools, pot stability, and turntable speed, forming speed, outside pot support, consistency of blank size, and forming force. The concept of the work is, 1. Observe the manual process to identify the important process variables, 2. Quantify the important process variables. 3. Develop a prototype automation system which could control some or the entire process variable. 4. Investigate all areas of automated forming. 5. Produce a specification for an automated system. 6. Refined design of the forming tool, as this plays a major role in all forming operations. The above considering point we design the automated skilled manual process, which would avoid the worker fatigue. III. LITERATURE REVIEW Literature review areas of research considered in the past, to be explained the approaches used & the new ideas. It is an assignment of previous task done by some authors and collection of information or data from research papers published in journals to progress our task. It is a way through which we can find new ideas, concept. There is lot of literatures published before on the same task; some reference papers are taken into consideration from which idea of the project is taken, the other reference will we discussed later. Hämmerle, Dr.-Ing. VDI (Germany) 1 : This paper A. presents results of a feasibility study undertaken by the University of Auckland for a tile and pottery company in New Zealand. The study specifies factors influencing the clay forming process & recommends number of design options for an automated forming system. These are based on a systematic analysis of the forming process & testing of a prototype forming system consisting of standard articulated robot. The project results indicate that carefully selected & designed automation technology may be affordable and beneficial for small and medium sized enterprises. The experiments carried out showed that the Scorbot light industrial robot was suitable as a prototype system for automated pot forming. The prototype system performed the wall forming operations successfully. It produced pots with tapered walls with a maximum angle increase of 7 degrees between each run, and pots with circular walls with a minimum radius of 146 mm curvature. Experiments involving smoothing the wall-base transition and putting a spiral in the pot base produced visually
