Automated Metal Cutting Machine

This document describes an automated metal cutting machine that uses pneumatic systems. It discusses the components of a pneumatic system including compressors, filters, tanks, valves and actuators. It then describes a pneumatic sheet metal cutting machine that uses a pneumatic cylinder connected to a cutting blade to automate the cutting process. The machine allows for single cuts or automatic repeated cutting. Advantages include ease of use, full automation and consistent cutting results. Safety considerations for pneumatic tools are also outlined.

What is Pneumatics…..
• Pneumatics is a branch of
mechanics that deals with the
mechanical properties of gases. It
works with the study of pressurized
gas that produces mechanical
motion, and the application of such
gases to produce motion. Systems
based on pneumatics are found in
factories that deal with
compressed air and inert gases.
Components Of Pneumatics System
• Air Filters: These are used to filter out the
contaminants from air.
• Compressor: Compressed air is generated by
using air compressors.
• Electric Motor: transform electrical energy
into mechanical energy. It is used to drive
compressor.
• Air Cooler: During compression operation, air
temperature increases. Therefore coolers are
used to reduce the temperature of the
compressed air.
• Receiver Tank: The air coming from the
compressor is stored in air receiver.
• FRL(Filter Regulator Lubricator): Before this air
can be used, it needs to be cleaned and
lubricated.
• Control Valves: These are used to regulate,
control and monitor for control of direction
flow, pressure etc.
• Air Actuators: Cylinders and motors are used
to obtain the required movements of
mechanical elements of pneumatic systems.
Pneumatic Sheet Metal Cutting Machine

• Cutting process is involved in


almost every industrial process.
So here we propose a pneumatic
based cutting machine that uses
pneumatic strength for instant
cutting of small sheets and
pipes. Manual cutting machines
require a lot of manual effort
and also are not suitable for
bulk cutting processes with
accuracy.
• The pneumatic cutting machine ensures exact
cutting speed each time to get the consistent
cutting result without any break. The machine
consists of a pneumatic cylinder fabricated with a
linking joint attached to it. This joint is assembled
with a cutter blade. We now have a bed to support
the material horizontally positioned in front of the
cutter. These parts are fitted together in position
using a metallic frame. We use pipes and valves
to connect the pneumatic cylinder with a
compressor through valve arrangement controlled
by an electronic circuit.
• The circuit has 2 push buttons. One button
allows for single cut when pushed and other
allows for automatic cutting at 1 second
intervals and continues operation as long as
the button is not pressed again to stop the
machine. Thus we demonstrate the pneumatic
cutting machine for automating industrial
cutting process.
WORKING OF SHEET METAL
CUTTING MACHINE
• The sheet metal cutting machine
work with the help of pneumatic
double acting cylinder. The piston
is connected to moving cutting
tool which is used to cut small size
of the sheet metal.
• The machine is portable so it is
easy to transportable, the compress
air form the compressor is used to
force medium for this operation.
There is pneumatic double acting
cylinder control valve flow air.
With the help of direction control
valve to perform cutting operation.
The controlled air from the flow
control valve enter in cylinder and
piston rod moves forward and force
exert on cutting tool and cutting
stroke are obtained. Then at next
position, air enter other side and
piston rod moves backward so that
the releasing stroke is obtain the
speed of cutting and releasing
stroke is varied back by the time
control unit circuit

Pneumatics Safety Management
• Review the manufacturer's instruction
before using a tool.
• Wear safety glasses or goggles, or a
face shield (with safety glasses or
goggles), and, where necessary, safety
shoes or boots and hearing protection.
• Post warning signs where pneumatic
tools are used. Set up screens or
shields in areas where nearby workers
may be exposed to flying fragments,
chips, dust, and excessive noise.
• Ensure that the compressed air supplied
to the tool is clean and dry. Dust,
moisture, and corrosive fumes can
damage a tool. An in-line regulator filter
and lubricator increases tool life.
• Keep tools clean and lubricated, and
maintain them according to the
manufacturers' instructions.
• Use only the attachments that the
manufacturer recommends for the tools
you are using.
• Be careful to prevent hands, feet, or
body from injury in case the machine
slips or the tool breaks.
• Reduce physical fatigue by supporting
heavy tools with a counter-balance
wherever possible.
Conclusion
• The design and fabrication of pneumatic sheet metal
cutting machine is totally economical in human effort
and useful in improvement of cost factory, show and
work place layout and design of plant and equipment.
We know that pneumatic sheet metal cutting machines
are very cheap as compare to hydraulic sheet metal
cutting machine. The range of cutting thickness can be
increases by installing high pressure cylinder and more
harder blade. The small sheet metal cutting industry
cannot afford the expensive hydraulic cutting machine
so that we use pneumatic sheet metal cutting machine.
