Outcome: Toreduce the man power. • Tomaintain the accuracy. • Todevelop automation unit for the punching so that machine can easily be adopted in today's automated plants. • This type of machine provides work practically at low cost, low maintainance, low capital investment in less space. • Toperform the most rigid operation with high speed.
Description: Punching Machine is one of the principal machines in sheet metal industry. It is mainly used as the name indicates to cut strips. So we are going to make a machine for ” PUNCHING INDUSTRIES” and make it to reduce human efforts. Hence we tried our hands on “electromagnetic punching machine.” Electromagnetic punching machine is working on the principle of electromagnet. This type of punching machine is used to punch basically cut metal sheets and thin plastic sheets. Punching is depend on feed rate which done manually. The Greatest challenge faced by an engineer is to overcome the energy wasted due to friction in any mechanical process. In a conventional punching process, mechanical or hydraulic force is used to operate the punch which involves large amount of metal to metal contact in the drive system components, as well as inaccuracy in the control of the punching forces at the micro level. This project includes the construction of an electromagnetic assisted punching machine to carry out the punching operation. After successful fabrication, the set up was tested and the punching force produced was validated. So with this view punching machine of a new type i.e. electromagnetic punching machine was fabricated to overcome all the problems faced by the company in which this project was done. The results obtained after testing the newly fabricated machine shown that the performance of machine is better than manual machine and it can also perform other functions with high accuracy and at low cost.” Key words: -Electromagnet; Current; Coils; Springs; Mechanical force; Electromagnetic force; Press; Automation.
