Design and Analysis of Multipurpose Machine for the Productivity of Sheet Metal Process
The global drive toward intermediate technology and sustainable development motivated the development of multipurpose machines for small-scale metal and ,metal product manufacturers are critical task. Improving the productivity of manufacturing process are significant tasks in all manufacturing engineers and manufacturing industries. Though this comparative advantage were achieved by the proper design, analysis and manufacturing of production machines. Consequently, the objective of this paper was to design and analyzed a multipurpose sheet metal machine to improve the production of sheet metal process and enhance competitiveness of the sector. Since, using mathematical methods this paper presents the design and development of multipurpose metal machine for small- scale enterprises, includes of three rollers; bending component, pipe bender, grooving/beading, twisting parts are rigid from base and machine frame of the machine. During the analysis sheet metal type, sheet metal thickness, forced induced in the machine and production capacity was considered as a parameters in this study However, the design and analysis result indicates that, there were significant improvement is observed in the productivity performance of using multipurpose sheet metal machine in terms of cost, production efficiency, production time, production capacity. The study also attempts to analyses the deflection, material types, the effects of stresses, wear- resistance, ultimate strength of the machine, thermal effect natural frequencies under subjected loads using mathematical analysis were done. In the conclusion, the study investigates that productivity analysis of sheet metal summery and conclusion of the work is also employed.
