Design and Fabrication of Pneumatic Sheet Cutting Machine

Abstract

Usually the sheet metal cutting machine is manually hand operated for medium and small scale industries. This paper gives an insight about the pneumatic sheet metal cutting machine. Any pneumatic machine aimed for economical use of man. In this paper, pneumatic cylinder is used for cutting is easy way which can be used in small scale industries at lower cost. The sheet metal cutting machine works with help of pneumatic double acting cylinder. The piston is connected to the moving cutting blade which his used to cut metal. This sheet cutting machine can cut sheet maximum 1 mm thickness with shearing blades which length is 375 mm and width 38 mm at a pneumatic pressure of 3 bar and its material is mild steel. The design and fabrication of pneumatic sheet cutting machine is totally economical in human effort and useful in small and medium sheet metal industries.
