Abstract

ABSTRACT This project aims at designing and fabricating an automated hammering machine that can perform hammering operations with little or no involvement of any human operator. This project is selected because there are no such machines available in our workshop. The introduction of an automated hammering machine in the industries will help in prospering and it will make the operations safe and easy. Moreover, the project will have a greater impact on the metal industries too. The machine will be capable of performing fast and accurate hammering operations with the help of a prime mover (electric motor). Mild steel is used for fabricating the machine. A large pulley and a shaft are connected with the help of a connecting rod. The spinning shaft will provide lateral motion to the rod. A mid-swinging arrangement is used for attaching the hammer and the connecting rod. A suitable bed will be developed for holding the work piece. SolidWorks is used for designing the machine
