?Design and Fabrication of Multi operational Wood Working Machine?

Abstract

Simplification of engineering and precise control of manufacturing process can result in significant cost saving. The most cost effective way, which can pay big dividends in the long run, is flexible manufacturing. Manufacturing need not be high ended and to be sophisticated. By employing DFMA (design for manufacturing and assembly) technology we achieve most attractive results. It required conscious effort to identify areas where this technology can be implemented. Circular saw machines and grinding machines are used in wood working industry on a large scale in many countries. The scope based on the existing wood cutting machine and the appropriate of DFMA methodology. The machine designed and manufactured can perform multiple operations at the same time on wood with required speed and controlled or operated by motor. It can perform cutting, grinding and buffing operations. In this paper, the preliminary design, valuation of design requirements and the design results are described. We are sure that the information contained in this paper would certainly prove useful for better insight in the scope and dimension of this project in its true perspective.
