Methodology

3.1 CONSTRUCTION
This project consists of

1) VDC Motor with built in speed reduction gear box

2) Chain drive mechanism

3) Job feeding rollers

4) Main shaft with Plummer block support

5) Geneva wheel mechanism

6) Crank wheel

7) Punching tool.

8) Bolts & Screws

3.2 WORKING PRINCIPLE


Paper punching machine is designed with mechanical arrangement in which movements are
controlled by using Geneva mechanism. paper punching machine consists of two sections. One
section is automatic feeding mechanism and the second section is conversion of rotary motion
into linear reciprocating motion of punching tool. The first section consists of Geneva wheel disc
keyed to shaft at one end and the other end is connected with chain sprocket wheel. This Geneva
wheel shaft is supported on nylon bushes. This sprocket wheel transmit the rotary motion from
the Geneva wheel to the feeding rollers through a chain drive. Hence when the Geneva wheel is
rotated, the paper also moved for punching operation.

The second section consists of a DC electric motor, a nylon bush, a crank wheel with a pin, a
connecting rod and a punching tool. The second section is used to convert the rotary movement
of the forearm wheel into a reciprocating movement of the punching tool. The rotor shaft is
attached to the crank wheel at one end and the other end is connected to the DC motor. This
column is supported on a nylon bush. The punch tool slice is replaced by connecting the crank
wheel through the connecting rod. Paper is automatically fed through the rotation of the Geneva
wheel.

When the engine is running, the camera drive disc is rotated. The linear rail attached to the drive
of the cam drive with deviation from the center is retracted to the punching machine. The
punching machine consists of a punch head, when the linear bar is moved down it presses the
head of the hole. The boring head consists of boring tools that punch the paper in the required
way. The cam drive disk has a pin attached to it, plugs into the Geneva wheel aperture and turns
the Geneva wheel. For each drive disk spin, the Geneva wheel spins 1/4 of the spindle. The
Geneva wheel shaft is attached to a sprocket. When the Geneva wheel spins, the sprocket also
rotates which in turn spools attached to the other sprocket. The two cog wheels are connected by
a cylindrical chain. With the help of cylinders, the paper moves forward and is perforated.

3.3 FEATURES OF AUTO PUNCHING MACHINE


1. It is small in size

2. It can be move

3. The electric power consumption is lower

4. It can be used in our workshop

5. It is simple to build

6. Low cost

7. Less weight and easy to handle

8. It reduces the man power

3.4 SAFETY,CARE AND MAINTENANCE


Before using the device, some points should be noted for safety purposes,

Before starting the process, check the following items

(1) Check the proper operation mechanism.


(2) Check the alignment of chain drives, task feed rollers and loader in the unit.

(3) Do not insert any material or object between during the punching process.

(4) Check the chain drive lubrication in the unit.

(5) Treat carefully while you work.
