Abstract

The project "Low Cost Pneumatic Multi-Purpose Sheet Bending Machine" focuses on developing a semiautomatic device that bends metal sheets using compressed air as the prime force.Traditional manual bending requires high physical effort, produces inconsistent bends, and is not suitable for small workshops with limited manpower.To overcome these issues, this machine uses a pneumatic cylinder, control valve, compressor, bending die, and MS frame structure.When air pressure is applied, the cylinder exerts force on the bending die, producing a uniform bend on the sheet with minimal operator effort.This system is cost-effective, fast, reliable, and easy to operate, making it ideal for small and medium-scale fabrication industries.Pneumatic actuation improves accuracy, reduces fatigue, and ensures smooth bending operations.The project demonstrates the potential of pneumatic power for sheet-metal operations and serves as an efficient alternative to manual and hydraulic bending systems.
