Design and Fabrication of Advanced Pneumatic Hacksaw Cutting Machine

Pneumatic is the branch of technology, which uses air as the primary medium for various cutting operation. Pneumatics is the medium which is used for obtaining smooth surface finish and it is economical , so that it can be used for light weight operation. There is not any adverse impacts in using pneumatic system, as the system used here is an open loop system. Pneumatic pressure is supplied through the compressed tank to the cylinder where the hacksaw is attached to other end, compressed air provides the necessary mechanical motion inside the pneumatic cylinder to perform the to and fro motion for cutting operation. There is no vibration and shock in this system because of the usage of compressed air. Controlling of this machine is as easy as it is simple ON- OFF type. The design is particularly suited to applications where the working space is constrained, Pneumatic hacksaws are useful when materials need to be cut in hazardous areas such as oil & gas refineries, chemical factories or oil rigs as well as dusty and wet environments where electric tools are not effective.
