FABRICATION OF GENEVA WHEEL BASED

AUTO ROLL PUNCHING MACHINE

OBJECTIVE;

1. To reduce the job setting ,marking and punching time

2. To reduce the labour cost by providing automatic job feeding and punching machine.

DEFINITION OF PROBLEM;
In conventional punching machine, the job is to marked before punching operation and
set the alignment of the work piece with the punch tool. Moreover the job is feeded manually
for every punch holes. Due to the above reasons, the entire process takes more time for series
of punching hole operations. In this geneva wheel intermittent drive, the job is feeding
automatically during the return stroke of punching operation.

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT;

Operation is very smooth and in this system we can get more output by applying less
effort.
Simple construction by introducing geneva wheel disc drive transmission.
The job is feeded automatically.
Low cost automation
Less maitenance

ABSTRACT;
In this auto roll punching machine consists of two sections.One sectio ns is
automatic metal sheet feeding mechanism and the second section is conversion of
rotary motion into linear reciprocating motion of punching tool . The first section
consists of geneva wheel disc keyed with a shaft at one end and the other end is
connected with chain sprocket wheel. This geneva wheel shaft is supported on
two plummer block bearings. This sprocket wheel transmit the rotary motion from
the geneva wheel to the metal sheet feeding rollers through a chain drive. Hence
when the geneva wheel is rotated , the metal sheet also moved for punching
operation.

Working principle;

When the switch is ON , the motor rotates the crank wheel. Hence the
punching slide with punching tool moved up and down and make a punch on the
metal sheet. The crank wheel face have a pin which touches the slot in the geneva
wheel and also rotates (indexing) the geneva wheel .Due to the rotation or indexing
of geneva wheel , the metal sheet feeding rollers are rotated through the chain
drive mechanism and hence the metal sheet is feeded automatically.

Construction;
In this auto roll punching machine consists of two sections.One sections is
automatic metal sheet feeding mechanism and the second section is conversion of
rotary motion into linear reciprocating motion of punching tool . The first section
consists of geneva wheel disc keyed with a shaft at one end and the other end is
connected with chain sprocket wheel. This geneva wheel shaft is supported on
two plummer block bearings. This sprocket wheel transmit the rotary motion from
the geneva wheel to the metal sheet feeding rollers through a chain drive. Hence
when the geneva wheel is rotated , the metal sheet also moved for punching
operation.
The second section consists of electrically operated DC motor,plummer block
bearings, crank wheel with a pin ,connecting rod and punching tool. The second
section is used to convert the rotary motion of the crank wheel into reciprocating
motion of punching tool. The rotating shaft is keyed to the crank wheel at one end
and the other end is connected to DC motor. This shaft is supported on two
plummer block bearings. The punch tool slide is reciprocated by the connecting the
crank wheel through the connecting rod .The metal sheet is feeded automatically
by the rotation of geneva wheel.

ADVANTAGES ;
Compared to hydraulic and ,pneumatic system, it is economical.
No extra skill is required for operating this system.
Operation is very smooth and in this system we can get more output by applying less
effort.

APPLICATIONS

It is very much useful for making series of holes of same diameter and constant

pitch.

Thus it can be useful for punching application
