    The document describes an automatic sheet metal feeding and cutting machine. It uses pneumatic cylinders powered by compressed air to automatically cut sheet metal. The pneumatic cylinders are controlled by solenoid valves to move the cutting tool back and forth for the cutting stroke and return stroke. The machine is portable and can cut small sizes of sheet metal, making it useful for small-scale industries. It allows for increased production and reduced labor costs compared to manual sheet metal cutting.

    AUTOMATIC SHEET METAL FEEDING AND 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 “AUTOMATIC SHEET METAL FEEDING AND

    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 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

    This is an era of automation where it is broadly defined as replacement of manual

    effort by mechanical power in all degrees of automation. The operation remains an

    essential part of the system although with changing demands on physical input as the

    degree of mechanization is increased.

    Degrees of automation are of two types, viz.

    Full automation.

    Semi automation.
    In semi automation a combination of manual effort and mechanical power is required

    whereas in full automation human participation is very negligible.

    Need For Automation

    Automation can be achieved through computers, hydraulics, pneumatics, robotics,

    etc., of these sources, pneumatics form an attractive medium for low cost automation.

    The main advantages of all pneumatic systems are economy and simplicity. Automation

    plays an important role in mass production.

     Reduction of lab our and material cost

     Reduction of overall cost

     Increased production

     Increased storage capacity

     Increased safety

     Reduction in fatigue

     Improved personnel comfort

    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 flow 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
