Design and Fabrication of Automatic Bar Feeding and Cutting Mechanism

Abstract

In a day to day Machining operation have been performed on shaft or any shape of rod, at first a given work piece is supposed to be cut to appropriate dimensions and then followed by machining operation is carried on. Nowadays, it’s been a time taking chore, in a manual operation the cutting bar cuts to the demanded dimensions. Due to manual trimming, notable marks may lead to the job rejection. The project mainly deals with the clamping, cutting and automatic bar feeding. A microcontroller based device is used for automation, and in order to control the various tasks which are demanded for bar cutting. Basic, view of this design to increase delicacy and reducing the mortal trouble which helps to increase the product rate. To stop the movement of rollers we use Limit switch as per requirement for clamping purpose we use pneumatic cylinder, which also holds the rod tight for the purpose of reducing human effort for repetitive work. Control panel can monitor the no of pieces, length of cut and the parameters can be varied as per need.
