AUTOMATIC PROTECTIVE CAP PRESSING MACHINE



Design mainly refers to ‘mark out’ or to ‘designate.’



Protective cap pressing - Important operation done before dispatching the assembly.



Since this operation is considered as non-value added operation, the component of the equipment should be low.



This reduces man-power utilization & increases productivity, in turn results in cost benefits.

 Protective caps protects the component from getting damaged. 

Types of materials used for making protective caps.



In this regard low density polyethylene protective caps are used.



Applications- mainly protection of machined & polished surfaces, gripping, & etc.

Fig.1- Protective cap & its design

 Presently in RML, protective caps are pressed manually, by placing & hammering them. 

Protective caps are placed in the 8 holes & with the help of hammer force & pressure, it is inserted into the holes.



Even though man-power requirement is less, this is a time consuming process.



The figure of the component is as shown below:

8 holes where caps are inserted.

 Cost saving is more. 

Man power requirement is less.

 Single

person can handle the whole process.

 Skilled

persons are not required to carry out this

process.  Damages

caused to the component is at a very

low rate. 

Accuracy in placing the protective cap is more.

 Variation

in the load, affects both cap &

component.  Inspection

of hammer should be done each

time we use.  Reliability  Stress

is less.

on the worker is more.

 Precise

working is required, which plays the

important role in maintaining accuracy.

 One is having the Chute system with robotic base plate having X-Y axis to align the component. 

Another option is that to make a hammer plate at the top which presses all the caps simultaneously.



Third option is having a automatic pressing machine actuated by pneumatic & electrical circuits.



First option- Easy to operate, handle, but require skilled workers, very high cost and consumes more time. Hence not feasible.



Second option- Easy to operate, handle, no need of skilled men, low cost but negligence wraths everything & its time consuming. So not feasible.



Third option- Feasible. Time consumed is less, easy to operate, no skilled workers needed, low cost.

Hammering Sys

 Pneumatic refers to air pressure. Here Single acting cylinders are used to perform work. 

We have one 200mm stroke cylinder & 8 block cylinders.



Electrical & logical circuitry is required to sequence the pusher & the actuator.



Thus, the operations can be carried out sequentially with out co-incidences.

SEQUENCE

OPERATIONS

First step

Component is loaded onto the fixture from the conveyer.

Second step

4 Pusher systems are actuated, such that it places caps from the stacker on the holes at a time.

Third step

4 Punching systems are actuated by the pneumatic cylinder to press the caps.

Fourth step

The component is taken out with the help of ejector.

Fifth step

The new component is ready for the same process to take place.

Fig.5- Complete design of the automatic

 Automation increases productivity. 

Easy to handle & operate.



No skilled worker is required.



Durability of the designed structure is more & is of low cost.



Pressurized air is readily available through air lines in factory, hence no extra cost.

 Accuracy

& reliability is more.
