The scope of this research has been covered designing of wire straightening and cutting
machine, design main components of the feeding systems with good, easily available and
low cost materials. In addition to this conceptual design of the material, the main
components of feeding system. Using standard procedures and design considerations as
well as specifications was investigated. All designs were done on a small scale.
Abstract
A cutting machine for manufacturing wire-like rods, particularly for electrodes for
welding. It comprises at
least one advancement assembly adapted to receive and produce the advancement of a
wire- like product at a preset
advancement speed from an inlet to at least one cutting assembly which is adapted to cut
the wire- like product into rods
of preset lengths. The cutting assembly being interposed, along the advancement line of the
wire- like product between the
advancement assembly and at least one assembly for collecting the rods the cutting
assembly comprising at least two
rotating shears of the motorized type with rotation axes which are parallel and mutually
opposite with respect to the
advancement line of the wire-like product. Synchronization means being further comprised
which are associated with the
cutting assembly and with the advancement assembly for the adjustment of the tangential
speed of the reciprocating
shears. This project deals with increasing the production rate of the machine from
100rods/minute to 200rods/minute and
Problem
Now a days, the wire straightening cutting machine is importing from foreign countries.
By observing this problem, we initiated to design this machine with locally available materials
and low cost. After reviewing different literatures; we compared different materials to select the
material with lower cost and good mechanical property. The cutting system of the available
WSCM is computer programmed stopper cutter. But we replace it by continuous cutter scotch
yoke mechanism for easy, accurate and low cost design. Finally, following our design results we
conclude that WSCM we designed can replace the available WSCMs.
This project presents a design and development of a Motorized Cutter
(Mechanical Part) that considers strength, durability, light in weight, easy to
use and safe,
save time and ergonomic factor.
The main problem motivated us design Wire Straightening and Cutting Machines (WSCM) is
unavailability of the machine on local markets and higher purchasing, transportation and spare
part costs of the imported (WSCM )from foreign countries. As a result, it is not easy to afford
by local entrepreneurs and business owners. Similarly during operation time when the machine
get technical problem it is not easy to find the spare parts at the desired time.
CONCLUSION
By this project we are concluded that by using this device we can reduce material handling time
and cost and also reduce the production cost and increases plant efficiency. Possibilities of
accidents are also reduced.
Thus, by making some necessary modifications the productivity of the machine has been increased. In addition to
this for decreasing the downtime while using base design that increases the productivity. In order to get the accuracy
in the quantity in the collecting unit a load cell arrangement is suggested as per the circuit diagram mentioned
different diameter wires, suggestion has been made for the modification of spinner
Recommendations
Further research should be carried out on how to minimize vibration and noise during
operation.
As per our design shows we recommended that using cast iron material is
preferable for manufacturing of pulleys, gears, rollers and shafts as cast iron
have low cost and suitable mechanical properties to them. And also we
recommended that to use a scotch yoke mechanism for cutting the wire as
scotch yoke mechanism is simple, accurate and has few parts or
components.
From the case study, we concentrated on design of a simple mechanical screw jack
where the nut is fixed in a
Cast iron frame and remains stationary while the spindle is being rotated by the lever.
This design can only work for light loads hence when a screw jack is needed for heavy
load application a different design is required where the nut is rotated as the spindles
moves. We therefore recommend design of a screw jack for the heavy loads.
