EXPRIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF MANUAL FOUR WAY HACKSAW CUTTING MACHINE FOR MASS PRODUCTION - A Review

Abstract

In this project work and effort has been made to develop a modernized four way hacksaw cutting machine
and less stress full operation for cutting wood, metal and plastic materials. The aim of this work is to develop hacksaw
machine that will use a less effort to produce uniform cutting PVC pipes, metals, wood. It is also done to show the
performance difference between hand driven; pedal drive and four way hacksaw machines. This model implies a
conversion of rotary motion of crank to reciprocating motion of hacksaw blades, which is done by using scotch yoke
mechanism. This motion is used for hacksaw machine; in this model we can operate four hacksaws at same time. This
model will overcome the traditional hacksaw machine which done cutting of single piece at particular time interval and
also fulfills the need of more material cutting accounts to mass production. This machine works significantly with
minimum vibration and jerks. This machine will also done cutting of different materials, hence the purpose models of
hacksaw machines will be welcomed by many industries due to compactness and efficiency. To achieve this goal the four
way hacksaw cutting machine is developed
