“SHEET METAL BENDING MACHINE”
Aniruddha Kulkarni, Mangesh Pawar, Pravin Yadav, Amit Patil and Sohan Jagtap are invented it
and worked on the paper deals with manufacturing or bending of sheet metal by using power
operated sheet bending machine. Especially discussion made the productivity analysis of
manually or power operated sheet bending machine. Considering manual operation is replaced
by power operated devices .It also gives information about limitation of manually operated sheet
bending machine and power operated sheet bending machine.
They concluded that as compare to the manually operated sheet bending machine the power
operated sheet bending machine is better. The productivity of power operated sheet bending
machine is higher. The part of machine is able to handle the heavy load on machine. The time
required to complete bending operation is less and the requirement of extra worker’s reduced.
Power operated sheet bending is less time consuming process with high productivity.
They concluded that the paper has carried on the detailed calculation and checking aiming at
main components of bending machine. Through complicated, accurate calculation can bring
great convenience to choosing components precisely so as to guarantee the machine running in
good condition, avoid wear and tear caused by some certain problems, and thus increase
machine’s service life. Calculation and check aim at workbench, wallboard and connecting bolts.
Bending machine in the design is of convenient mould replacement, accurate positioning rear
stopper and easy adjusting front carrier. Users only need moulds in different shapes to bend them
into required shapes. Further it adopts advanced and reliable electro-hydraulic synchronization
technology, which is able to guarantee high synchronization accuracy even under the action of
partial residual. It is ideal for sheet metal forming, can be widely used in aircraft, automobile,
shipbuilding, electrical appliances, machinery and light industry, and the production efficiency is
quite high.

“Fabrication of U-Type, V-Type, L-Type Angle Bending Machine”
Hemnath D., Asthalin A., Faizal Ahamed N., Karthikeyan R., Disho John M. and P.Ravishankar
are invented it and worked on bending of U shaped metal rod is carried with the help of
pneumatic cylinder arrangement. This method is very useful in industries to convert the
lengthiest metal rod to the u shaped type. Here the main aim of the our project is reduce the man
power, applying constant force at all time, automating the process and also increase the rate of
production.The project is designed by following equipment compressor, control unit, Solenoid
valve, Pneumatic Cylinder and Mechanical model.
They concluded that we make this project entirely different from other projects. Since concepts
involved in our project is entirely different that a single unit is used to various purposes which is
not developed by any of other team members. By doing this project we gained the knowledge of
working of pneumatic system and how automation can be effectively done with the help of
pneumatic system.
They concluded that Paper plates can be manufactured at high rate with the available machines.
Manufacturing normally requires hydraulic press machines to operate at a very high speed. But
the problem is that they are used for making one or two plates simultaneously, which shows a
less production rate. Therefore there may be the chances of increase in production rate by
simultaneously punching the number of sheets in a single pass.

“DESIGN OF A DUAL OPERATING MODE SHEET FOLDING
MACHINE”
Gwangwava N, Mugwagwa L and Ngoma S are invented it and worked on A sheet folding
machine that can be operated through hydraulics by two hydraulic cylinders or manually (with
the cylinders disengaged) was designed. The design need emanated from the strained national
electrical grid system that has recently seen industrialists and households in Zimbabwe
experiencing major power cuts. The machine enables manufacturers to schedule heavier jobs
during periods when power supply is up and lighter jobs during power cut periods hence run
their workshops throughout the daily production shifts. The two hydraulic cylinders can be
disengaged from the machine’s folding beam so that manual operation can be done through a
manual clamping lever system. The folding force at full capacity is 294.6 KN (29.46 Ton), total
bending length of 1.8 m and working height of 1 m. The folding force decreases significantly in
manual operating mode to 500 N, considering that on average an operate can manually exert that
force. A student version of Simulation X 3.5 was used to simulate the hydraulic operation of the
machine.
They concluded that The article has demonstrated an engineering procedure for design and
validation by means of simulation, of a dual operating mode sheet metal folding machine. A non-
commercial hydraulic simulation package (Simulation X 3.5) was used for simulation of the
hydraulic system for the machine. A constant operating pressure of 150 bars will be maintained
during machine operation whilst the folding bar shows a rapid acceleration, within a fraction of a
second, towards the specimen sheet metal before it reaches a steady approach during the actual
bending operation. This action prevents whipping of the specimen sheet metal and also gives
good quality bending of sheet metal parts. A full scale version of the sheet metal folding machine
can be manufactured to benefit the small and medium enterprises since the machine can be
scheduled to operate manually and through hydraulic actuation.
They concluded that we are going to Reduce time and cost associated with engineering analysis
through a high performance intuitive graphical interface for multi body dynamic modeling and
post processing. Enable easy implementation of high quality graphics for pre and post processing
of multi body dynamic models through automated translation from many CAD formats .Provide
automatic result visvulation upon solvent completion tightly coupled pre and post processing.
He concluded that the hydraulic punching and bending machine is successfully enrolled and is
calculated properly. In this we have introduce a special purpose hydraulic model of Punching
and Bending machine and we have showed theoretically how the hydraulic model of special
purpose punching machine economically and exactly works. First of all we have done a survey
of literature review of the machine, and market survey for the working and constructional
detailed. Then we have calculated the formulas for the design of the different parts of hydraulic
cylinder so that we can calculate the capacity of the hydraulic punching and bending machine
and finally fabricate the machine to perform the operation on the aluminium sheet to produce the
final product. This machine use for multipurpose punching at a single time of stoke of
ram/plunger. We have seen how the Hydraulic systems allow users to accurately wield large
amounts of power with little input force. And with the combination die two operation are
performed simultaneously. So we can say that the hydraulic system of special purpose punching
and bending machine is quite economical as compare to the other alternative.
He concluded that When performing finite element analysis (FEA), a virtual model of a
realworld situation is set up to see how a product will react in its environment. The environment
is defined through a combination of loads and constraints and the decisions or assumptions that
about those loads and constraints are very important to the overall accuracy of the simulation.
The complicating factors related to defining loads and constraints such as difficult placing of
loads and constraints particularly for situation involving motion, impact, time-dependent changes
or multi physics phenomena. Historically, engineering experience and judgment was relied upon
to determine loads and constraints 'and 'how to best apply them. However, even experienced
engineers can have difficulty determining accurate values for these critical inputs. Artificial
loads and constraints complicate results revaluation by introducing "hot spots" in the model. For
example, if the user constrains a point, the nearby results will be artificially spiked.
They concluded that The press was developed after studying the pneumatic system, hydraulic
system and hydro – pneumatic system, were it was found that hydro – pneumatic system is more
effective the pneumatic and cost efficient than hydraulic system. The system has shown
noticeable improvements in various sectors like operation time and cost of operation. It is
observed that operation time is reduced from 3 hours to 30 min per assembly and cost of
operation is reduced approximately by 90 %. The further advantages of the system has covered
the safety of operator and made operation more convenient (reducing fatigue), improved
dimensional and positional accuracy of assembly.
