 Abstract

This project presentation related to the study and fabrication of the

Paper cutting machine. In which converting continuous circular
motion into intermittent cutting motion using Geneva Mechanism .This
Study covers the all aspects to fabricate the machine . Geneva
Mechanism that allowed the accurate cutting of paper in some time
interval (like 2cm/20 sec) .Due to which the paper is move interval of
cutting period. The paper cutting is achieved by crank & lever
mechanism. The cutter came to its original position with the help of
spring (coil).Many Industries using this mechanism for cutting the
Paper roll.
 Introduction

Geneva Mechanism is very old mechanism which is convert the

continuous motion into intermittent ( time interval motion ). Geneva
Mechanism is available depending on type of motion required during the
cutting . And also the load factor which transmitted on the Geneva wheel
& Shock absorbed by the system during the cutting period . Geneva
Wheel are mainly three types . According to the use
1-External 2-Internal 3-Spehrical .
We are using External Geneva Wheel .
It is required less radial distance as compared to another mechanism. And
less expansive and simple in construction. In this mechanism a pin on
driver wheel which goes into slots on driven wheel and rotates it.
A 4-bar mechanism is basic one DOF . It is created by join the link with revolute joint which
make loop. To make the lever crank mechanism . This is used to create path of motion .
 Methodology(How we proceeds)

1. Feasibility Study.
2. Design on Solid Work .
3. Geometry Analysis .
. Calculation . To find Radius of Geneva Wheel & crank lever ,column
height , chain length.
4. Fabrication .
5. Testing.
 Experimental Data

Geneva Wheel & crank lever , Slots ,Pin diameter , column height, chain
length.
Crank radius -6cm.
Radius of Geneva Wheel -6.06cm.
Center Distance b/w Geneva Wheel & Crank lever-8.485cm.
Width of slots & Number of slots-1.5cm & 4.
Pin Radius -1cm And Tolerance -0.5cm.
Length of slots-3.515cm.
Stop Arc Radius -3.75cm.
Length of column -20cm&15cm.Chain Length 16cm.
 Expected Out Come

1. Continuous motion Converted into Intermittent motion .

2. Accurate dimension cutting of paper in given time interval.
3. Less Jerk during the cutting .

 Future Scope

Due to following Advantage of using Geneva Mechanism future scope is

may result good in Small Scale Industries related to Paper Cutting areas.
1. Easy Construction .
2. Low Maintenance.
3. Less Skill worker Requirement .
4. Less Initial Cost for establishment of system.
5. It is more help full for SSI.
 Conclusion

As we mentions Geneva Mechanism(On which Paper Cutting machine

works) is cheap , low maintenance ,easy in construction , by which
Small Scale Industries use it as compared to large cutting machine to
ensure the benefits for industries. The main purpose of this machine is to
decrees the cutting time loss in conventional cutting process. In which
first we make mark on paper after that we start the cutting process.
