 INTRODUCTION
We need more and more automation systems to make human tasks
easier and faster.
Human hacksaw cutting is very time consuming and difficult.
This is not feasible for large scale and accurate cutting.
The proposed system automates the hacksaw cutting with double
sided technique.
Operates on a single mechanism.
Here we use a motor with shaft attached.
We obtain a smart and efficient hacksaw that can be obtained for bulk
productions

Modern cutting equipment & machines
Now in 21st century the cutting ability of
tools have reached to a different level

4
Types of cutting machines
1. MANUAL
Hack saw
Jig saw
Chain saw
Cold saw

2. AUTOMATIC
Power Hacksaw machine
Lathe machine and many more

 Drawbacks of current hacksaw cutting machine
Cannot cut at highspeed
Heavy and rigid
Cuts only in one stroke
Less ease of use
Less efficient

 OBJECTIVE
To develop a modernized four- way hacksaw machine based on
Scotch YokeMechanism.

It will use a less effort to produce uniform cutting of PVC pipes,

Metal bars , Wood.

Also fulfils the need of more material cutting account to mass

production.

DESIGN

8
 Methodology
Scotch Yoke Mechanism:-
The Scotch Yoke Mechanism
also known as slotted link
mechanism is a reciprocating
motion mechanism converting
the linear motion of a slider into
a rotational motion or viceversa.

 Proposed Methodology

10
 This project consists of single phase vertical
electric motor rigidly placed at the centre of
metallic foundation provided. The circular disc is
mounted on the shaft of motor with the help of
key and key slot arrangement. The eccentric
point on the plane of disc is provided such that
the desired cutting stroke is achieved (around 4-
5 inches).

Machine Components:
Base (Foundation)
Hacksaw Frame
Hacksaw Blade
Guide Ways
Crank Wheel
Holding Vice
DC Motor
Supporting Blocks

11
 Work Plan
Study and selection of mechanisms according to the
specific functions of machine.
CAD modelling of proposed design by using solid
works.
Define approximate or appropriate dimensions of
elements of model.
Select suitable material for it.
Modify dimensions of assembly for fabrication.
Fabrication of base frame using welded andbolted joints.
Assembly of all major components and power housing

12
 WORKING OF MACHINE
The principle of working of this machine is to convert rotary
motion of motor in to reciprocating motion using crank mechanism.
The crank and connecting rod is attached with slider and it will
reciprocate to and fro.
The hex blade frame is attached with reciprocating
assembly and operate cutting blade.
The separate vice is mounted on both side of the assembly. The
job to be cut is clamped in the vice.
The machine is a double cutting attachment so the rate of
production is increased.

13
 WORKING OF MACHINE (contd.)
This system automates the hacksaw cutting with double sided
technique.
Here we operate 2 hacksaws using a single mechanism.
A motor is attached with a shaft.
The motor and shaft is attached using appropriate mounts to
hold it in position.

14
 WORKING OF MACHINE (contd.)
Now we drive the motor using a supply circuit to operate it and move the
shaft.
We attach the shaft to saw frames in a way that saw moves in a direction
perpendicular to the work piece.
Attaching 2 hack saw in either directions enables us to operate hacksaw in
both directions and operate both of them at the same time.
As the motor rotates ,the shaft also rotates and the rotational motion is
converted to perpendicular motion of the two hacksaws with respect to the
cutting piece.

 ADVANTAGES
It is very easy to operate.

It is having low power consumption.

Its installation cost is very low.

It is very simple from maintenance point of view.
It is compact and portable.
It is very advantageous for small scale industries due to less
space requirements.
Increase in cutting speed.
Most efficient.

17
 Future Scope
Drill hacksaw machine.

4 way cutting machine.

Automatic material feeding capability

18
 CONCLUSION
This model will overcome the limitations of conventional hacksaw
machine which can cut only single piece at a time.It will be able to
cut different metal bars and wooden bars simultaneously and will
be helpful in many small scale industries , domestic work
and workshops due to its compatibility, reliability and efficiency
at an affordable price.
