Smart Punching Machine With Pneumatic Accuator Based On Weight Using Plc & Scada

Abstract

The present project is for general purpose usage which can be used for industrial and automation applications
so that the problem associated with the punching process and separation of material can be carried out.
The proposed work describes the design of prototype of automatic punching machine with pneumatic actuator based on
weight controlled by PLC and interface with SCADA. Punching or pressing process is one of the most important and
necessary processing step in sheet metal industry. By automating this process one can have a greater control over the
process. Programmable Logic Controllers are used for the control of the system. This system can replace existing manual
feed and operated punching and pressing machines. By interfacing PLC controls with the conventional machines, it is
possible to achieve good results in the form of reduced manufacturing lead time, reduced cost and increased safety of the
worker.
