Motorised Portable Hammer

Description

In many industries, due to either complex machinery or low labor cost, many basic processes are performed manually. This involves operations like forging, punching, etc where the machines are too complex and costly to be operated under a low budget. But due to the almost 100% involvement of human labor in this process, the quality of the output does not remain the same as it consumes extensive energy quickly.

Keeping these problems in mind, this project is an innovative low cost, a low energy-based industrial solution to forging and punching operations. A motorized portable hammer is a simple mechanical system in which a hammer is oscillated vertically up and down using a CAM wheel to perform forging or punching operation automatically. The CAM wheel is connected to a DC motor which consumes really low power to rotate with high torque. Due to the overall design of the CAM wheel, the hammer is slowly raised from its initial level and dropped hard onto a platform in order to execute the forging or punching process.
