        abstract = {In this project, an ESP32 microcontroller-controlled automated system that combines motorized positioning and pneumatic actuation to remove burrs from plastic components is presented. A 12V 80 RPM DC motor with a spur gear system spins the part for four-side trimming, while a 32×100 double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a fixed cutting blade removes burrs. This provides a guarantee in precise alignment, limit switches offer position feedback, and 12V relays control actuation sequences. Burr removal is completely automated and reproducible thanks to the ESP32's programming that synchronizes cutting and rotation cycles. This technology is appropriate for high-volume industrial settings because it decreases manual labour, improves consistency, and boosts production efficiency.},
