Design, Fabrication, and Analysis of Pneumatic Sheet Metal Cutting Machine

The use of aluminum is increasing nowadays in many industries like automobile, packaging, medical, etc. The reason behind this is that aluminum made things quite easier to manufacture, handle, and be reliable. So the manufacturing of aluminum goods is striving hard to produce good quality products at a large scale and cheaper cost. Normally the sheet metal cutting machine is manually hand-operated for medium and small-scale industries. Automation in the modern world is inevitable. Any automatic machine aimed at the economical use of man, machine, and material is worth the most. Hydraulically operated machines are too costlier for small-scale and medium-scale industries. To address this issue a pneumatically operated sheet metal cutting machine was designed and fabricated by using a double-acting cylinder, air compressor, shear cutter, pipes, and DCV.
