CUTTING MACHINE
SYNOPSIS
The sheet metal cutting process is a main part of the all industries. Normally the
sheet metal cutting machine is manually hand operated one for medium and small scale
industries. In our project is PNEUMATIC AUTO FEED SHEET CUTTING
MACHINE.
Automation in the modern world is inevitable. Any automatic machine aimed at
the economical use of man, machine, and material worth the most. In our project is
solenoid valve and control timing unit is used for automation.
The sheet metal cutting machine works with the help of pneumatic double acting
cylinder. The piston is connected to the moving cutting tool. It is used to cut the small
size of sheet metal. The machine is portable in size, so easy transportable.
INTRODUCTION
WORKING PRINCIPLE
The compressed air from the compressor is used as the force medium for this
operation. There are pneumatic double acting cylinders, solenoid valve; flow control
valve and timer unit used .The arm from the compressor enters to the floe control Valve.
The controlled air from the flow control valve enters to the solenoid valve. The function
of solenoid valves all of air correct time interval. The 5/2 solenoid valve is used. In one
position air enter to the cylinder and pusses the piston, so that the cutting stroke is
obtained.
The next position air enters to the other side of cylinder and pusses the piston
return back, so that the releasing stroke is obtained. The speed of the cutting and releasing
stroke is varied by the timer control unit circuit.
APPLICATIONS
This machine is very useful for small scale industries
This machine is used to cut the roller sheet metal
All Industrial Application
DISADVANTAGES
While working, the compressed air produces noise therefore a silencer may
be used.
High torque can not be obtained
Load carrying capacity of this unit is not very high.(<50 N)
ADVANTAGES
The pneumatic is more efficient in the technical field
Quick response is achieved
Simple in construction
Easy to maintain and repair
Cost of the unit is less when compared to other machine
No fire hazard problem due to over loading
Comparatively the operation cost is less
The operation of cutting is faster because the medium used to operate is air
Continuous operation is possible without stopping
