Automatic Pneumatic Sheet Metal Feeding and Cutting Machine

Today in the rapid competition of the industries to get the best quality of the product in the minimum required time is the main aim of industries. To get the best quality and maximum production most advanced machines are used. But there are no facts that use only the advanced machines, to maintain their performance is real requirement of the industries, also to give proper facilities to the workers with good environmental condition and to reduce their efforts is one of the objects to achieve the best quality and high production. Sheet metal is simply a metal formed into thin and flat pieces. It is one of the fundamental forms used in metal working and can be cut and bent into a variety of different shapes. Countless everyday objects are constructed of the material. Thicknesses can vary significantly, although extremely thin thicknesses are considered foil or leaf, and pieces thicker than 6 mm (0.25 in) are considered plate. Sheet metal also has applications in car bodies, airplane wings, medical tables, roofs for buildings (Architectural) and many other things. Sheet metal of iron and other materials with high magnetic permeability, also known as laminated steel cores, has applications in transformers and electric machines. There are three primary procedures in Layout. They are Parallel, Radial, and Triangulation. The major aim to our experiment is to study about pneumatic control system, study about double acting cylinder, study about the advantage of pneumatic hand operated valve and study about high speed blade. We are using scissors for simple sheet metal cutting. It is a manual method so that sheet metals are to be wasted sometimes because of mistakes happened such as wrong dimensions etc., and also even a simple cutting may take long time. We are using a pneumatic system for sheet metal cutting in an easy way. It is operated by a pneumatic hand lever of two ways control valve. Control valve is operated by a compressor.

Application of Multi-Contour Cutting in Algorithms for Solving the Cutting Path Problem

The cutting path problem for CNC sheet metal cutting equipment is considered in this article. The method of multi-contour cutting application is described for solving Cutting Path Problem (CPP). The method is to be combine contours in «blocks» (groups) and cutting of several contours is performed by using special cutting techniques (common cut, «chained» cutting) in order to reduce values of cutting tool length and number of piercings compared with standard cutting technique (where only idle path is minimized) The article presents results of solving cutting path problem computing experiments using proposed method (multi-contour cutting with common cut) and algorithm CCP-Relax (in which the standard cutting technique is used). The examples of testing are performed by using several instances from Library CPPLib.

Experimental Determination of Mechanical Properties of Waste Steel Sheets

The paper is primarily focused on the determination of the ultimate strength of pressed materials in the form of steel sheets. The breaking strength of homogeneous materials such as e.g. steel sheet is not a relevant indication for pressed steel sheet waste material. The ultimate strength serves as a main parameter in the design of sheet metal cutting machines. For the design and technological design of machines and equipment for shearing steel waste in the form of pressed sheets, it is necessary to know the limit strength of the material. The paper describes in detail the experimental procedure and the principle of determining the ultimate strength of the steel waste sheet. Several dozen experimental samples of pressed metal waste were used. The very principle of the experiment consisted of sheared samples, while monitoring the shear force and the thickness of the pressed material. The ultimate strength of the shear material was calculated from the measured data. The measured and calculated data were statistically processed to increase the objectivity of the determination of the already mentioned ultimate strength parameter of the pressed waste sheets.

Impact of Core Sheet Cutting Method on Parameters of Induction Motors

The method of cutting motor core sheets causes a change in their magnetic properties and core losses, especially additional losses. Reducing motor losses is very important because of the fulfillment of increasingly stringent requirements set by international regulations for reducing electricity consumption. Due to fact that more and more often induction motors are supplied with high-frequency voltage, core losses are beginning to play a dominant role in the motor’s loss balance. That is why accurate determination of these losses is very important and cutting has a significant impact on them. This report shows how the method of cutting sheet metal affects losses in the finished induction motor working in a wide frequency range. The paper presents the impact of various motor core fabrication technologies on its operational parameters and an approximate way of including this impact in analytical calculations at the design stage of new machine designs, as it is necessary to use sheet metal cutting technologies such as laser or electrical discharge machining (EDM) at the prototype stage. The proposed method is based on measurements of sheet parameters made on toroidal samples with appropriately selected dimensions, so that the width of the sample corresponds to the average width of the motor core elements.
