Automatic Pneumatic Sheet Metal Cutting Machine

The objective of the project is to prepare a machine which cuts sheet metal without human efforts but operates pneumatically.

Automatic pneumatic sheet metal cutting machine.

This machine can also be installed in the lab for the experiment and demonstration to engineering students. It is an efficient way of increasing production for small scale industries. The machine is convenient in the estimate so natural transportable. Compressed air is used as working media.

The machine consists of a pneumatic cylinder fabricated with a linking joint attached to it. The pneumatic cutting machine ensures exact cutting speed each time to get the consistent cutting result without any break. The sheet metal cutting machine works with the assistance of pneumatic twofold acting barrel. 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 compressed air moves the blades of machine to cut the sheet of metal. The machine is designed to cut 1mm thick aluminium sheets and 0 5mm thick copper sheets very easily. 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. It is utilized to cut the little size of sheet metal.

Automation of conventional sheet metal bending machine operations thus converting a manually operated bending machine to an automatic 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. This joint is assembled with a cutter blade.
