Automatic Pneumatic Sheet Metal Cutting Machine

14 developed a pneumatic sheet metal cutting machine which runs by means of pre compressed air.

Automatic pneumatic sheet metal cutting machine. This machine can also be installed in the lab for the experiment and demonstration to engineering students. The machine consists of a pneumatic cylinder fabricated with a linking joint attached to it. The cylinder is associated with the moving cutting apparatus. Compressed air is used as working media.

The objective of the project is to prepare a machine which cuts sheet metal without human efforts but operates pneumatically. 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. It is an efficient way of increasing production for small scale industries.

The table also includes the two way directional valve. 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 sheet metal cutting machine works with the assistance of pneumatic twofold acting barrel. This joint is assembled with a cutter blade.

The idea of the project generated due to a manual sheet metal sheering machine in workshop of our college. Automation of conventional sheet metal bending machine operations thus converting a manually operated bending machine to an automatic machine. It is utilized to cut the little size of sheet metal. The pneumatic cutting machine ensures exact cutting speed each time to get the consistent cutting result without any break.
