Air Powered Pneumatic Punching Machine

Punching has a wide usage in the industrial world. Holes need to be punched in
sheets, pipes of a wide variety of materials for assembly purpose. So here we
propose a pneumatic powered punching machine that allows for this with ease.
We propose to develop a compact pneumatic punching machine with enough
torque to demonstrate hole punching through plastic and cardboard sheets. The
purpose of this project is to study the punching mechanism and implement it with
the help of pneumatic power. For this purpose we first construct a frame to
withstand and support the punching system. We then assemble the pneumatic
piston and hole support mount into the frame so as to achieve the best punching
results. Now we connect the pipes to the cylinder with necessary valves and use a
electronic control mechanism to control punching using the pneumatic piston. The
electronic system is used to trigger the valves into releasing necessary amount of
air into the piston pushing it in needed direction with force needed to punch
through the material placed on the bed mount.

Components :
 Pneumatic Cylinder
 Punching head
 Support Bed
 Pipes and Valves
 Supporting Frame
 Joints and Mounts
 Electronic Circuit
