Construction and Performance Test of a Pneumatic Sheet Metal Cutting Machine

Abstract

We are using scissors for simple sheet metal cutting. It is a manual method so that sheet metals are to be wasted sometime because of mistakes happened such as wrong dimensions etc., and also even a simple cutting may take long time. Hydraulic machines are also available for sheet metal cutting. But this method is used for only heavy metal cutting and its cost is very high. We are using a pneumatic system for sheet metal cutting in an easy way. It is operated by a pneumatic hand lever of two-way control valve. Control valve is operated by a compressor.
