Pneumatic Slotting Machine

This document summarizes a pneumatic slotting machine. The machine uses a pneumatic cylinder powered by compressed air to provide the power for slotting operations. It aims to provide slotting capabilities at a lower initial cost than conventional machines. The pneumatic power requires less maintenance than electric motors. The machine allows the workpiece to be actuated in X and Y directions for longitudinal feeding and depth of cut adjustments. It is well suited for use in die and pattern making industries where it can reduce machining time and manpower requirements.

PNEUMATIC SLOTTING MACHINE

SYNOPSIS
The main target of project is to improved version of a mini pneumatic Slotting
machine which will be more efficient for die makers and pattern makers. This machine is
pneumatic powered which has low co-efficient of friction. A pneumatic cylinder erected
at the top provides power of slotting operations. Compressed air is passed into the power
for sharing the work metal.
This project aims at saving initial cost by providing pneumatic Cylinder for power.
It needs only less maintenance cost, since less matting parts.
This is a pneumatic powered machine and requires no other means of power to
drive the slotting machine this machine executes the slots in the job which enables the
machine to do its work automatically to which it increases the production rate.

INTRODUCTION
This machine is an improved mini model of slotting machine. The initial cost of
the Machine is very low compared to the conventional machine. This holds simple ideas
of Reciprocating motion which is pneumatic powered. The pneumatic cylinder gives
power for slotting which uses compressed air is made available from a portable
compressor.

ULTIMATE AIM
The pneumatic slotting machine can be widely used in low cost automation in Die
and pattern making industries. The manpower requirement is reduced also reducing the
machining time

WORKING OPERATION
1. The working medium adopted is compressed air.
2. The compressed air is transmitted through tubes to pneumatic cylinder
where power is converted into reciprocating.
3. The reciprocating motion is obtained by using an electrically controlled
solenoid valve actuated by trip dogs.
4. The reciprocating motion transmitted to the toolbar through ram, which
moves on the dive tail slides.
5. The work piece is clamped on the work table using suitable clamping
device.
6. The work piece can be actuated in X and Y direction (i.e., longitudinal feed
and depth of cut)
7. When the compressed air is passed into the solenoid value and powered the
ram reciprocates.
8. Cutting tool which is fitted to the ram gets reciprocating motion.

ADVANTAGES
Less co-efficient of friction.
More efficient
Power can be easily transmission.
Less loss in transmission.
A single compressor can supply power to many pneumatic
machines.

DISADVANTAGES
Huge storage space required.
High loads cannot be provided.

APPLICATIONS

In a machine shop of the industry at production department it is widely


used.
The slotter is used for cutting grooves, keyways and slots of various shapes,
for making regular and irregular surfaces both internal and external.
This machine handling large and awkward work pieces, for cutting internal
or external gears and many other operations which cannot to conveniently
machine in any other machine.
