Automatic Pneumatic Sheet Metal Cutting Machine

Automation of conventional sheet metal bending machine operations thus converting a manually operated bending machine to an automatic machine.

Automatic pneumatic sheet metal cutting machine.

To design and fabricate pneumatic based sheet metal cutting machine to be used for the cut the sheet metal of minimum thickness without manual hard work instead we use pneumatic control system to operate the cutting machine accurately. The idea of the project generated due to a manual sheet metal sheering machine in workshop of our college. The sheet metal cutting machine works with the assistance of pneumatic twofold acting barrel. The machine consists of a pneumatic cylinder fabricated with a linking joint attached to it.

It is an efficient way of increasing production for small scale industries. We are developing a pneumatically operated cutting and punching machine which will use the help of compressed air to drive a shearing blade and punch to carry out the operations on a metallic sheet. The machine is convenient in the estimate so natural transportable. The objective of the project is to prepare a machine which cuts sheet metal without human efforts but operates pneumatically.

Compressed air is used as working media. 14 developed a pneumatic sheet metal cutting machine which runs by means of pre compressed air. This joint is assembled with a cutter blade. Project on pneumatic sheet metal cutting machine the pneumatic machine includes a table with support arms to hold the sheet stops or guides to secure the sheet upper and lower straight edge blades a gauging device to precisely position the sheet.

The machine is designed to cut 1mm thick aluminium sheets and 0 5mm thick copper sheets very easily. The compressed air moves the blades of machine to cut the sheet of metal. This machine can also be installed in the lab for the experiment and demonstration to engineering students. The table also includes the two way directional valve.
