 Abstract
• These days automation has changed the world as we know. We need more and
more automated system to make human tasks faster and easier. So here we
automate another strenuous work of hacksaw cutting. Human hacksaw cutting is
very strenuous and requires a lot of effort. This is not feasible large scale and
accurate cutting.

• So our proposed system automates the hacksaw cutting with quadruple sided
technique where we operate 4 hacksaws using a single mechanism.

• Attaching 4 hack saw in either directions enables us to operate hacksaw in both

directions and operate both of them at the same time. Thus we put forth a smart
and efficient hacksaw that can be used for accurate bulk productions.
 Objectives of Model
1) The main objective of this project is to reduce the human effort for machining
various materials.

2) The machine overcomes all the limitations and drawbacks of conventional

hacksaw machine

3) The objective of this project is to save man power and time in cutting materials
in order to achieve high productivity.

4) By using Crank And Slider Mechanism we can operate four hacksaw at same
time

5) Use of The total energy of motor so that in minimum time and minimum cost we
can do the work

6) It is also helpful for small scale industries

 Slider and Crank Mechanism
A crank is an arm attached at right angles to a rotating shaft by which reciprocating
motion is imparted to or received from the shaft. It is used to convert circular
motion into reciprocating motion or vice versa. The slider crank mechanism is used
to transform rotational motion into transitional motion by means of rotating driving
beam, a connecting rod and sliding body.

 Types of Saw blades
The types of blades which are generally used material cutting
1) High Carbon Steel
2) Bi-Metallic Steel
3) High Speed Steel
4) Low Alloy Steel

Testing Of hacksaw Blade Based On Mechanical Properties

1) Cutting Performance Test
2) Hardness Test of blade
3) Wear Resistance Test of blade

Prof. Nitinchandra, R. Patel, Ravi Thakkar:-

In his paper “Material Selection And Testing Of hacksaw Blade Based On Mechanical Properties”
stated that the appropriate saw blade must be selected for better operation and fine cutting by
selecting number of teeth per inch
 Cutting Performance Test
Material Mild Steel Aluminium Brass
Blades
High Speed Steel Good Good Good
Bi-Metallic Steel Best Best Fair
Low Alloy Steel Fair Better Better
High Carbon Steel Better Fair Best

From the table, for cutting given types of materials following pairs are
suggested,

1) Mild Steel --- Bi-Metallic Steel

2) Aluminum --- Bi-Metallic Steel
3) Brass --- High Carbon Steel
 Wear Resistance Test of blade
Materials Mild Steel Aluminium Brass
Blades
High Speed Steel Better Fair Good
Bi-Metallic Steel Best Good Fair
Low Alloy Steel Fair Better Best
High Carbon Steel Good Best Better

From the table, following conclusions are made on account of wear resistance
1) High Speed Steel has less wear working with Mild Steel.
2) Low Alloy Steel has good wear resistance working with Brass.
3) High Carbon Steel when working with Aluminum

 Motor used for rotating disc
AC Motor
Calculation for DC Motor
From Physics,
Power (P)=Torque (T) × Angular Velocity(ω)
Torque (T)=Power (P) / Angular Velocity(ω)
P = 500 Watts
ω = (Speed in rpm × 2 × π) / 60
= (900 × 2 × π) / 60
SPECIFICATION OF MOTOR = 5654.86 / 60
•Type of motor - DC = 94.24 rad / sec
•Speed - 900 RPM T = 50 / 94.24
= 5.305 Nm
•Voltage -240V , 500 W
Calculation for stroke length

From slider & crank mechanism

Center of disc to Eccentric center = 85
Angle = 45
Connecting rod length = 500
Total length from center of disc to Angular
length of connecting rod = 557
Right side stroke
Center of disc to right end of the disc & its
linked with starting point of connecting rod
,so the length from the end point to center
line is = 28
Left side stroke
Center of the disc to left end of the disc & its
Linked with starting point of connecting rod
,so the length from the end point to center
line is = 142
Total stroke length
= 28 + 142
= 160
All dimensions are in MM
 Working Principle
• First of all on base plate electric motor is mount vertically, hollow disc having
internal circle radius is same as the radius of shaft or motor is fit on shaft and also
the disc have eccentric centre, metal bar is weld at the eccentric centre

• The links one end is connected with the end of hacksaw frame and second end is
connected with the metal of eccentric centre

• The buckle type elements are connected at the end of hacksaw frame and link is
connected in buckle, pipe provide support of the hacksaw frame, the pipe is connect
to the base, Vice is also fit on pipe and which also connect with the base

• When it get rotated slider crank mechanism is used to transform rotational motion
into transitional motion by means of rotating driving beam. So we get linear motion
the frame moves front & back it cuts the work piece
Advantages
• It is easy to operate.
• It reduces the work of labor.
• Easy to make because of simple construction.
• High production rate.Cost is less.
• Easy maintenance and maintenance cost is less.
• It resists all atmospheric effects
Disadvantage
• Speed variation is required for cutting the different metal
• It’s not useful for large scale industries
• The attachment is not compact & rigid in size
Applications
• In Small scale industry
• In workshops
• In construction industry
 CONCLUSION

• It is known that conventional hacksaw machine can be replaced with

an automatic quadruple cutting hacksaw machine.

• Automatic quadruple hacksaw machine gives high productivity in

short time period in comparison with the conventional hacksaw
machines.

• The major advantage of this machine is that intervention of labor is

reduced to maximum level.

• In this rapid emerging industrial era, the use of automatic quadruple

Hacksaw machine is wide.

• Time and labor plays a major role in production process this can be
overcome by using this type of automatic machines.
 FUTURE SCOPE
• It is realized that customary hacksaw machine can be supplanted with
Automated Quadruple Hacksaw machine

• Computerized Quadruple Hacksaw machine gives high profitability in brief

day and age in examination with the Automated Quadruple Hacksaw
machine
• The machine can be fully automated by using Microcontroller.

• In fully automated machine the operator need not measure the length of the
work-piece that is to be cut and to load and unload the work-piece each time
after a piece has been cut.

• The operator need to only enter the two input namely the number of pieces to
be cut and the length of each piece that is required to be cut.

• The inputs can be given by the operator with the help of a keypad and an
LCD display,
