Abstract- The proposed work describes the METHOLOGY
fabrication of prototype of automatic punching This project is designed with micro controller, machine controlled by PLC and shedding light on driver circuit along with motor, keypad, moving the working principle and the hardware structure arrangement and punching mechanism. Punching of the system. Punching or pressing process is one machine is designed with mechanical arrangement of the most important and necessary processing in which movements are controlled by motors. step in sheet metal industry. By automating this Moving mechanism is attached with punching process one can have a greater control over the spindle. So we can move the punching spindle process. Programmable Logic Controllers are used anywhere within the area of machine. Moving for the control of the system. This system can mechanism also controlled by motor. Here the replace existing manual feed and operated micro controller may be PIC both are flash type punching and pressing machines. By interfacing reprogrammable micro controller. Keypad is a set PLC controls with the conventional machines, it is of keys in which one key represents number of possible to achieve good results in the form of punches and another represent time internal reduced manufacturing lead time, reduced cost and between punches. Remaining keys controlled the increased safety of the worker. moving mechanism for forward, reverse, left & INTRODUCTION right. The corresponding information is given to micro controller. In micro controller we have In today’s practical and cost-conscious world, already programmed, so it activates the driver sheet-metal parts have already replaced many circuits for motors depend on the program expensive cast, forged, and machined products. The instructions. Driver circuit consists of transistor just reason is obviously the relative economy of act as switch to turn on & turn off the motors. operation, easier implementation for mass- When our required punches and place fed into production, as well as greater control on the micro controller through keypad, then micro technical parameters. In most of the sheet metal controller activates the corresponding driver circuit. operations punching or pressing operation is the Now punching mechanism operates and done the main or initial operation in the process sequence. operations as per our requirement through the Automating this operation results in reduced lead micro controller. time and also can reduce human effort. Automation can be defined as the “technology concerned with CONCLUSION application of mechanical, electronic and computer- In this paper a method of controlling the operations based systems to operate and control production”. of punching machines is discussed. By using There are many reasons for automating the process. Programmable Logic Controllers as the controller The reason may be to reduce manufacturing lead of the system, good control over the system can be time, to increase labor productivity or to improve achieved, manufacturing lead time of the system the worker safety, etc. can be reduced by developing automatic feeding mechanism and worker safety can be increased by reducing the human participation in the process.
