Abstract

It is the goal of this project to automate a standard power hacksaw machine in order to increase the productivity of workpieces by utilising a Microcontroller. Two inputs are needed from the user to operate the automated cutting machine: the number of pieces to be cut and the length of each piece. To be slashed. Using a keypad and an LCD display, the user may enter the information they need. check the information he has provided. In order to cut the work-piece, the operator does not need to measure its length or to put it into the machine. unloading the chuck each time after cutting a new piece. As soon as we get the two inputs we need from them, we're ready work-length specified by the user is automatically fed into the machine. A chuck is used to hold the component in place as it is chopped. There have been a lot of cuts made. With the use of a conveyor, the machine feeds the work-piece. An IR sensor and a DC motor guarantee that the feeding stops when the appropriate length has been achieved. When cutting, a cylinder is utilised to keep the workpiece in place. It's done using an AC motor. Workpieces must be cut using a reciprocating action. The reciprocating mechanism has a self-weight linked to it. Hacksaw blade penetration mechanism to give the appropriate downward power needed for the workpiece. An automatic limit switch will be activated after one piece of material has been sliced, which is detected by the self-weight mechanism. The microcontroller will restart the cycle process if the required number of workpieces have not been cut.
