OBJECTIVE



To use the concept of Scotch-Yoke Mechanism to design a machine capable
of performing more than one task.
To be able to run two or more operations on a single machine using one
power source.
To effectively reduce the time required for operations like blank cutting.
To accommodate the operation of 2 hacksaw blades and a stamping
machine through less consumption of power and time.
Thus, contribute in increasing productivity of the plant in which the machine
operates.
To reduce requirement of personnel.

INTRODUCTION
Scotch Yoke:-
It is the second inversion of a double slider crank chain mechanism in which
one of the sliders is fixed.
It converts the linear motion of a slider into rotational motion or vice versa.
The piston or other reciprocating part is directly coupled to a sliding yoke with
a slot that engages a pin on the rotating part.
In our project, we are using the scotch-yoke to convert the rotatary motion
into reciprocating motion.

Power Hacksaw:-
Power hacksaws are used to cut large sizes (sections) of metals such as
steel.
It functions by drawing a blade containing cutting teeth through the work
piece. The sawing machine is faster and easier than hand sawing.
Generally, a slider crank mechanism is used in power hacksaws.
Different types of blades are available for different materials (included in
report). For steel, the recommended TPI = 6.
Recommended cutting speed for steel = 30 m/min

Power hacksaw blades differ from hand hacksaw blades in that they are
generally heavier, made in longer sizes, and have fewer teeth per inch.
Materials commonly used in manufacturing power hacksaw blades are high-
speed tungsten steel and high-speedmolybdenum steel.
There are three set patterns: raker, wave, and straight.

Stamping:-
Stamping is a small but important stage of manufacturing.
Involves a simple reciprocating mechanism to imprint the date, company
label etc. on the final manufactured product.
If this process is integrated with another process can help in benefitting the
productivity of the plant.

DESIGN CALCULATIONS
From the standard data available, the following were assumed for a steel
shaft of more than 2 thickness:
1) Teeth per inch = 4-6
2) Strokes per min = 60-120
3) Feed = 0.003-0.009 inch/stroke
After calculations for a .25 hp motor with a 35mm pulley, the following
parameters for a 2 stage reduction were finalized:
1) 1
st
reduction: Pulley dia = 210mm, rpm = 240
2) 2
nd
reduction: Drive pulley dia = 50mm, rpm=240 ; driven pulley dia =
200mm for 60rpm (rpm is fixed for steel)
