Safety Mechanism of Power Press

Abstract

Mechanical power press activated through foot paddle. The mechanical power press is having full revolution clutch,
once the clutch is engaged it remains engaged until the crankshaft has completed full cycle. Before completing the
downward stroke, if operator is working on power press, he gets injured. And there is one another problem, when
the machine is overloaded it break the part in the transmission system. Hence for operator safety and machine
safety, it is necessary to develop new safety mechanism for power press. By using the friction clutch brake
mechanism engage and disengagement becomes smooth and the braking is done at the will of operator. The friction
plate safeguards the transmission against over loading.
