CHAPTER.1

INTRODUCTION

The project work assigned here with us is of building a shearing m/c that is

capable of shearing PVC / plastic / rubber pipes up to 6 mm in dia. Also it is pre-

assigned work to furnish the same m/c along with an automation unit as previously

mentioned.

As simple layout and tricky operational enables this type of m/c to work

practically at low cost, low maintenance, low capital investment in less space. It may

be forecasted that in future this m/c may have its unparallel place in the industry

mentioned previously.

The work is carried out using MDF (Medium Density Fiber) core hardwood

plywood. Also some connecting components like studs are used the plunger is made

up of high density polymer pipe and the core of electromagnetic is made up of again

high density polymer pipe. Rest of the construction is made in MDF sheet cut to

requirement. It can be noticed that in the fabrication of the project many parts are

manufactured other than ferrous material. It is done so because ferrous is conductor of

magnetism and controller be magnetized very easily for avoiding the flux generated

for getting disturb with surrounding material. The mat in surrounding is used the non

ferrous. The only major component is the iron core which is needed to be made up of

ferrous to get attracted to electromagnet when live next part that is fabrication out of

ferrous is stud nut bolt. It is very necessary that for structural support that this part

should be made in strength and support for solving the problem. It has been allowed

to use ferrous material for the same. Also care have been taken to keep this ferrous

material part away from electromagnet as for as possible.

Whenever electromagnet is made live it sucks the iron core in between the

cavity of the Electromagnetic because of high flux generated. This iron core there by

pushes the plunger in the same direction which activates the cutter blade subassembly

forcing the same in the blade subassembly forcing the same in the direction of

material to be cut. This is simple procedure of cutting by this type of m/c.

Another part of the project includes development of automation unit for

running this m/c on automation mode for cutting the mat as per required. This part

include a Microcontroller a motor drives a relay driver etc.

CHAPTER.2

BACKGROUND

As various application for automation & machinery arise,

machinery is developed to meet the needs of the particular application .Recently there

has been an increase in the need for machinery which is small in scale. Small scale &

miniature machinery include the number of moving parts which can breakdown &

lubrication .Problem specific to miniature machinery include the difficulty of

lubrication on a small scale & the difficulty of adapting conventional size machines to

smaller scale. Another need exists for machinery of any size which can exhibit a fine

degree of adjustment. In many control system application accuracy of movement is

crucial & simple on-off control will not suffice. It is also desirable that any machine,

whatever its size, be efficient & require little or no maintenance.

CHAPTER.3

LITERATURE REVIEW

Mr. Scott Michael Golowin, B.S. The Ohio State University 2008 in his research

paper on “Path Actuators for Magnetic Pulse Assisted Forming and Punch-less

Electro-Magnetic Shearing” discussed that Electro Magnetic shearing offers a number

of advantages over traditional methods. It is much less equipment-intensive than laser

cutting or die cutting. It can deal well with very thin materials, whereas very precise

tooling is required to shear thin metals and can be very expensive. Also, there are

opportunities for integrating forming and shearing operations. Despite these

advantages, this method has not been well developed.

The Ohio State University research paper on “Punch-less Electro-Magnetic Shearing

(PEM)” resulted in the following preliminary conclusions. Electromagnetic shearing

capability for sheet metal cutting that should be cost effective and could find wide

application in both small precision applications, such as medical & micro devices, and

could also have significant applications in heavy-duty manufacturing, such as

automotive and truck manufacturing. The process can replace laser cutting of metal,

which involves large amount of capital investment and can also be applied to non-

metal cutting, such as foam. Furthermore, electromagnetic forming and cutting could

be integrated in a single step to save manufacturing cost. The work here will help

develop a new agile sheet metal shearing technique, for shapes not realistic by

conventional methods.

Page 5: Electromagnetic shearing machine

Hans Christian Orsted & Francis Bitter in his paper entitled “Electromagnets: Two

Forces Team Up” discussed that these electromagnets are called “resistive” magnets

because, as in any machine running on normal electricity, the electrons that make up

the current encounter resistance as they bump into atoms and other electrons along

their journey. This inefficiency costs when it comes time to pay the electric bill; in

fact, the Magnet Lab uses about 7 percent of the electricity consumed in Tallahassee,

a city of about 160,000 residents! If we didn’t have magnets to operate, our on-site

power source could light up some half-million 100-watt light bulbs – at the same

time! The Mag Lab also uses a considerable amount of water, which is forced through

the holes of the Bitter plates to prevent the magnets from getting too hot. So resistive

magnets eat lots of electricity and drink lots of water, two expensive habits. This is

where superconducting magnets, the next type of temporary magnet we will explore,

offer some advantages.

F. Bioul, R.Rolinsky, N.Van denBogaert, V.Regnier, F.Dupret in their research

paper on” Free surface Shear Flows Induced by alternating electromagnetic forces

Application to liquid bridges in micro-gravity& to floating zone presses” discussed

that besides Joulean heating and free surface deformation caused by the Lorentz force

normal component, an additional effect resulting from the generation of

radiofrequency alternating magnetic fields in the vicinity of electrically conducting

liquid components is the creation of a free surface shear flow. This effect is generally

undesired, but could be used to improve convection control in some applications such

as the Czochralski or Floating Zone semiconductor crystal growth process. The

electromagnetic field distribution in planar and axisymmetric configurations, which

provides equivalent magnetic forces and heat flux to be applied along the conducting

free surface.

Page 6: Electromagnetic shearing machine

J.Rodney Schexnayder in his research paper on “Electromagnetic Machine”

discussed that machinery is developed to meet the needs of the particular application.

Recently there has been an increase in the need for machinery which is small in scale.

Small scale & miniature machinery must be simple & reliable. Another need exists for

machinery of any size which can exhibit a fine degree of adjustment. In many control

system applications accuracy of movement is crucial & simple on-off controls will not

suffice. The machine of any size is efficient & requires little or no maintenance. These

all properties is give up by electromagnetic machine which uses electromagnetic force

to do work & particularly to device which use electromagnetic force to move

magnetically permeable particles, using the movement of those particles to do work.

Object of machine is to use electric current as its power source & provide a machine

with an extremely fine degree of adjustment.

Joseph Henry in his research paper on “Electromagnetism” discussed that an

electromagnet is a large inductor, and resists changes in the current through its

windings. Any sudden changes in the winding current cause large voltage spikes

across the windings. This is because when the magnet is turned on, energy from the

circuit must be stored in the magnetic field, and when it is turned off the energy in the

field is returned to the circuit. If an ordinary switch is used to control the winding

current, this can cause sparks at the terminals of the switch. Large electromagnets are

usually powered by variable current electronic power supplies, controlled by a

microprocessor, which prevent voltage spikes by accomplishing current changes in

gentle ramps. It may take several minutes to energize or deenergize a large magnet.

The factor limiting the strength of electromagnets is the inability to dissipate the

enormous waste heat, so higher fields, up to 90 T, have been obtained from resistive

magnets by pulsing them. The highest magnetic fields of all have been created by

detonating explosives around a pulsed electromagnet as it is turned on. The implosion

compresses the magnetic field to values of around 1000 T for a few microseconds.

Page 7: Electromagnetic shearing machine

Francis Woodward Jessop, of Cleveland, OHIO in his research paper on

“Electromagnetic Metal working Machine” discussed that relates to metal working

machines such as shearing, forming & compressing & more particularly to machines

in which the metal working operation is effected by single stroke get more

maintenance to reduce the prone of this machine an electromagnet is used which gives

significant applications in heavy-duty manufacturing & forming and cutting could be

integrated in a single step to save manufacturing cost.

CHAPTER.4

SUMMARY OF LITERATURE REVIEW

The industrial demands increases day by day toward

the simplification & more innovative creation of work in mass production. For such

type of qualities & flexibility in the manufacture only create by replacing the existing

machinery process layout for such type of machinery which reduce the labor cost

material increases production in sheet & tin plate like plants & pipe industries. The

automatic shearing or electromagnetic shearing process will be one of the feasible

solutions for them.

Electromagnet is used which gives significant applications in

heavy-duty manufacturing & other products but none of this uses the electromagnetic

force in a way which is simple, efficient & controllable to the degree dicer for such

work a simple machine which required only power to operate or produce the emf is

feasible instated of heavy load of electricity given to the machinery for such cutting

work. The advancement in manufacturing process in industry toward the convectional

Processing uses convectional machinery for manufacturing such as hydraulic,

mechanical & Pneumatic type for such machine working principal.

SHEARING MACHINES

Mechanical power shears are self-contained machines with a ram that

moves a non-rotary blade (knife), at a constant rake, past the edge of a fixed blade to

perform shearing or cutoff operations. Shears may be mechanically, hydraulically,

hydra-mechanically, pneumatically, or manually powered and are used to perform

numerous functions such as squaring, cropping, and cutting to length. There are

various types of shearing machine which is used in industries for various purposes

5.5.2 Nibbling Shearing machines:

Nibbling machines work on to shearing principles. They use a

relatively small shearing punch; with a particular geometric form (square, rectangular

or round) which shears the required form in a metal sheet with small individual cuts.

Balance may be made between hand-guided nibbling machines, and those with an

automatic relative movement between the tool and work. The application of these

machines is in the small quantity and 'one off' production field, where the provision of

press tools is uneconomic. In particular, nibbling machines provide an economic

solution to work requiring very long edges to be cut. For internal curves, and circular

and straight cuts, rectangular shearing punches are used. Figure 5.12 illustrates a

sheet-metal working centre which is able to perform other sheet-metal operations

besides nibbling. During nibbling, a vertically driven punch shears holes into the 68

Page 22: Electromagnetic shearing machine

metal sheets, which is guided in accordance with the contour required to be cut. The

smaller the advance of the metal sheet (which is moved during each return stroke of

the punch), the nearer Will be the shape of the cut line to the required contour. If the

cut edge produced is to be a functional surface with close dimensional tolerances, then

a finishing cut, using a different

Cutting action (e.g. milling), may be carried out on the same machine. The machine

shown in Figure 5.12 is capable of milling, thread cutting and deep-drawing

operations, in addition to nibbling. With the use of automatically interchangeable

specialized tools, a wide range of sheet-metal working operations (e.g. extruding, the

cutting of vent louvers, etc.) are possible. The movement of the work is under

numerical control.

CHAPTER.7

DESIGN OF MODEL

The design of part model is done in CATIA V5 R17 (Computer Aided Three

Dimensional Interactive Application) which is a multi-platform CAD/CAM/CAE

commercial software suite developed by the French company Dassault Systems IBM.

Written in the C++ programming language, CATIA is the cornerstone of the Dassault

Systems product lifecycle management software suite. The user may create, edit, and

delete end cuts, and the end cut for a beam is integrated in the piece part engine

Translate a Structure Functional Design 2 (SFD) or Ship Structure Detail Design 2

(SDD) feature during the explode mode through piece part process define end cut

graphic replacement in drafting manage different graphic replacements for beam

pillars enhances technological results usage in tooling design.

The mold to cam function is enhanced to permit the creation of a

technological results report. Reporting of die/mold technological results is accessible

via the new command display technological results (available with Prismatic

Machining preparation assistant 2 (MPA) license). Any user of the tooling design 1

product who has an MPA license can benefit from this enhanced reporting command:

Create a report (*.csv) on the technological results existing in a given die define some

in house processes between the design and the manufacturing stage that provide the

user with a powerful tool to control the integrity of the die design and prevents costly

iterations between design and manufacturing Increases design productivity in sheet

metal design .The powerful extrusion explode improvement offers an explode mode,

which allows the user to generate an associative wall on edge. Creating an extrusion

becomes an accelerator of the design and exploding the extrusion allows user to

locally modify design while maintaining associations. Design performance for

innovation increases sales through on the plant, architecture, and construction

industries thanks to new capabilities in terrain modeling .These powerful

improvements include the ability to: Work with meshed surfaces and volumes

including tessellation and multi-slice commands Edit the meshes easily Create and

manage Z-Level curves benefit from dedicated improvements to the building

implantation and enhancements to the graphic performances.
