ABSTRACT: - The objective of this work is to automate the conventional power hacksaw machine in
order to achieve high productivity of work-pieces than the power hacksaw machine using a Double
hacksaw blade. The operator need not measure the length of the work-piece that is to be cut. The
machine feeds the work-piece with the help of a shaft, which is driven by a DC motor. A DC motor is
used to bring about the reciprocating motion required for cutting the work-pieces. With the help of this
multi-way power hacksaw machine, the four metal bars can be cut simultaneously to get the high-speed
cutting rate and to achieve mass production for maximum profit in related companies. This project is
very much useful and easy to install by the user and also the motor used will not only operate with the
help of electricity but also through conventional source of energy like solar energy.

Keywords: - Scotch Yoke Mechanism, fabrication, sliding mechanism, double acting hacksaw,

1. INTRODUCTION helpful for small-scale industries due to its

In present condition many electrically operated
power hacksaw machines of different companies
with different specifications are available for the
use in the shop floor. These machines are so
precise that they can cut metal bars with
minimum time made up of different materials but
they have one and major disadvantage that
those are able to cut a single piece of the bar at
a time. For industries to achieve the mass
production, it is necessary to cut metal bars with
high rate. So it is impossible to depend upon
conventional single frame power hacksaw
machines and need the improvement in
technology and design of such machines. With
the help of this multi-way power hacksaw
machine, the four metal bars can be cut
simultaneously to get the high-speed cutting rate
and to achieve mass production for maximum
profit in related companies. As this machine
overcomes all the limitations and drawbacks of
conventional hacksaw machines, it is also
simple working and operating conditions along
with its compatibility, efficiency and affordable
price. This project is about cutting the wood,
metal, pipe, angle, channel, flat plates, rods and
such other things. This project is very much
useful and easy to install by the user. However,
the author's name can be used along with the
reference number in the running text. The order
of reference in the running text should match

1.1 History of Hacksaw Machine: The saw
was one of the first great innovations of the
Metal Age. It was developed with smelted
copper, from which a blade could be cast.
Many of the early copper saws have the
general appearance of large meat-carving
knives. Egyptian illustrations from about
1500 BC onward show the saw being used
to rip boards, the timber being lashed to a
vertical post set into the ground. Though

circle made by the crank pin. For example, the
side rods of a locomotive may have scotch
yokes to permit vertical motion of intermediate
driving axles.

2.3 Construction
The scotch yoke mechanism is constructed with
iron bars. Here the crank is made in some length
and the yoke is also made using the same
material. It is noted that the minimum length of
the yoke should be double the length of the
crank. The crank and yoke are connected with a
pin. Iron bars are welded to both sides of the
yoke to get the reciprocating motion The yoke Fig -1: Scotch Yoke Mechanism
