AUTOMATIC PORTABLE

HAMMER STRIKER
ABSTRACT
Power hammers are mechanical forging hammers that use a non-muscular
power source to raise the hammer preparatory to striking, and accelerate it
onto the work being hammered. A typical power hammer consists of a
frame, an anvil, and a reciprocating ram holding a hammer head. The
workpiece is placed on the lower anvil and the head or upper head strikes
the work piece. The present project work is a design and fabrication of
POWER HAMMER. This machine is used to break a brick into small
pebble size. This project involves the process of designing a power
hammer by using crank and lever mechanism. This project is mainly about
generating a new concept of breaker that would make the work easier and
reduce the work of man power. The sole purpose of this project is to
understand the fundamental knowledge of crank and lever mechanism.
INTRODUCTION
• Smithy certainly perform very well so far as the hand- forging is concerned, but
their use for satisfactory production is limited to small forging only. It would not
be difficult to understand that the intensity of blows, however great one may try to
achieve through hand hammering, will not be sufficient enough to effect the
proper  plastic flow in a medium sized or heavy forging.
• For this, a power hammer is usually employed. The capacity of these hammers is
given by the total weight of their falling parts i.e., ram and die. A 200 kg hammer
will be one of which the falling parts weigh 200 kg. The heavier these parts and
greater the height from which they fall. The higher will be intensity of blow the
hammer will provide. Power hammers in common use are of different types. e.g.
spring power hammers, pneumatic power hammers, Steam hammers and Drop or
Forge hammers and six bar slider crank power hammers.
CRANK AND LEVER MECHANISM
• In a kinematic chain when one link is fixed, then that chain is known as
mechanism. It may be used for transmitting or transforming motion for
example engine indicators, typewriters etc.
• A mechanism which has four links is known as simple mechanism, and a
mechanism which has more than four links is known as complex mechanism.
A mechanism which is required to transmit some particular type of work is
knows as machines. In certain cased the elements have to be designed to
withstand the forces safely.
• A mechanism is a kinematic chain in which kinematic pairs are connected in
such a way that first link is joined to the last link to transmit a predetermined
constrained motion
• The various parts of the mechanism are called as links or elements. When two
links are in contact and a relative motion is possible, then they are known as a
pair. An arbitrary set of a link which forms a closed chain which is capable of
relative motion and that can be made into a rigid structure by adding a single
link is known as kinematics chain. To form a mechanism from a kinematics
chain one of the link must be fixed. The technique obtaining different
mechanism by fixing the various link in turn is knows as inversion.
LITERATURE SURVEY
• Development of an Automated Impact Hammer for Modal Analysis of
Structures-PE Norman, G Jung, C Ratcliffe, R Crane, C Davis - 2012 -
dtic.mil
This report outlines the development and testing of a prototype compact
automated impact hammer designed to be surface mounted on a structure to
provide an impulse-based structural excitation source for vibration testing.
The automated device was designed to be integrated with a distributed fiber
optic sensing system which measures the in-plane dynamic strain of the
structure at a spatially dense grid of sensing points. The hammer was tested
on a composite plate with induced damage and the excitation and response
data were used to generate complex curvature shapes for the plate.
• Microlens characterization using contact profilometry and point-spread function
measurement CR Forest, MA Saez, IW Hunter - Proceedings of the 22nd Annual
Meeting, 2007
• As micro-lens fabrication technologies proliferate, accurate and accessible metrology
techniques are vital to ensure quality. Oft cited interferometric techniques alone can
be insufficient and their implementation can be costly. We report on combined
contact profile-metry and non-contact point-spread function measurement as simple,
quick characterization tools for metrological feedback. Their application to
quantitative metrics including figure error, roughness, and optical performance are
described. Nanometer resolution figure and roughness determination are possible, as
well as comparison between measured and theoretical point spread functions. These
methods comprise a simple, low-cost, rapid means for characterization of refractive
micro-lenses.
