ABSTRACT

The aim of the project is to fabricate the automatic hammering

machine project. Power hammers are mechanical forging hammers that
use a non-muscular power source to raise the hammer preparatory to
striking, and accelerate it onto the work being hammered. Also called "open
die power forging hammers." they have been used by blacksmiths,
bladesmiths, metalworkers, and manufacturers having replaced trip
hammers. This project has a high advantage of easy and simple operation.
This also reduce the manual work a typical power hammer consists of a
frame, an anvil, and a reciprocating ram holding a hammer head or die. The
workpiece is placed on the lower anvil or die and the head or upper die
strikes the workpiece. The power hammer is a direct descendant of the trip
hammer, differing in that the power hammer stores potential energy in an
arrangement of mechanical linkages and springs, in compressed air, or
steam, and by the fact that it accelerates the ram on the downward stroke.
This provides more force than simply allowing the weight to fall. Earlier
designs like trip hammer, steam drop hammers, board or strap hammers,
use the power source to raise the ram, but let its fall be propelled solely by
gravity.

 WORKING PRINCIPLE

The hammering machine consists of column in which the lead screw

is provided. At one end of the lead screw handle of the Bending tool is

attached. Another tools is fixed on the based plate. The hammering

machine consists of a base plate in which the work piece is placed. When

the handle is rotated the lead screw moves down and the bending tool

press the sheet and the sheet metal is bended. Different size & shape of

the bend can be bended using various tools. Automatic hammering

machine consists of an electric motor and a frame with lead screw. The

sheet is fitted in the vice. When the motor switched gets on the rotary

motion of the motor is converted into reciprocating motion by means of a

gear and lead screw arrangement. A bending tool is attached at the end of

the lead screw which bends the sheet metal.
