DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF FOUR WAY HACKSAW
ABSTRACT
The world today is moving ahead at a very fast pace. Some of the very
common examples of fast moving objects are aeroplanes, high speed cars and
many more. In our everyday life we come across many fast moving vehicles and so
it is very important to measure the speed of these vehicles.
This is an era of automation where it is broadly defined as replacement of
manual effort by mechanical power in all degrees of automation. The operation
remains an essential part of the system although with changing demands on
physical input as the degree of mechanization is increased.
Motor operated hacksaw consists of hacksaw frame, transformer, Control
Unit, wiper motor, shafts and bench vice. It follows the principle of scotch yoke
mechanism.
INTRODUCTION
We have pleasure in introducing our new project “AUTOMATIC
OPERATED FOUR WAY HACKSAW”, which is fully equipped by sensors
circuit and wiper motor. It is a genuine project which is fully equipped and
designed for Machines.
The FOUR WAY HACKSAW system is a fully automation project.
This is an era of automation where it is broadly defined as replacement of manual
effort by mechanical power in all degrees of automation. The operation remains an
essential part of the system although with changing demands on physical input as
the degree of mechanization is increased.
WORKING PRINCIPLE
Finally, most known hacksaw apparatuses include only a single hacksaw,
operable therefore only to cut a work piece from one side only. Such devices are
relatively slow in operation because they can only cut from one side. Known
hacksaw apparatuses having two hacksaws are very bulky and heavy. The
mechanical complexities of single hacksaw machines are compounded by having
two opposed hacksaws.The invention therefore provides two essentially parallel
spaced apart hacksaw blades, mounted on reciprocating support means in
opposition to one another, which can be operated simultaneously so as to cut a bar
from both sides at once.
More specifically, the invention provides a saw apparatus having the
foregoing advantages in which the slid able guide means for guiding the blade
frames are slid able towards and away from one another, by power operated means,
such power operated means being mounted on said slid able guide means, and
being reciprocal in association there with. Consequently, it would be advantageous
to provide a four hacksaw apparatus, the blades of which are operable to apply a
relatively constant force to a work piece during a cutting stroke. Furthermore, such
blades ought preferably to have a more constant velocity during the cutting stroke
in order to increase the overall speed of the cutting operation and in order to
improve the efficiency of the cutting stroke. Such advantages should be obtained,
if possible, without adding to the bulk, weight or expense of the hacksaw
apparatus.
A wiper motor is placed at the centre of the frame and links are attached to
each of the hacksaw frame for their operations for its operation scotch yoke
mechanism is used. The Scotch yoke (also known as slotted link mechanism) is a
reciprocating motion mechanism, converting the linear motion of a slider into
rotational motion or vice versa. The piston or other reciprocating part is directly
coupled to a sliding yoke with a slot that engages a pin on the rotating part.
The shape of the motion of the piston is a pure sine wave over time given a
constant rotational speed.
Four of the blades operates one after another to cut the metal pieces mounted
on each vice. The blades slides on the shaft support and cuts the workpiece as the
wiper motor requires 12volt dc supply so transformer is used to convert ac current
into 12volt dc current and capacitor is used to supply the required energy to motor
to operate.
