Automatic Pneumatic Based Stamping Machine

Abstract: With the increasing advancements in the automation sector, the need for automation in packaging is also developing dramatically. One of the major processes of packaging is stamping and sealing the final product. Before the industrial revolution, there was little advancement in this field. To exemplify, initially, it was a manual task and the workers used to stamp the product by hand, which took a lot of time and manpower. Also, the use of hydraulics systems is dangerous for instance hydraulic fuel is prone to ignite and thus it makes the whole system dangerous to use. Further, the small and medium scale industries could not afford the expensive automatic stamping machines at that time. To overcome this problem, we came up with the idea of a portable and automatic stamping machine using pneumatic for all kinds of tasks. This standard and optimized stamping machine can be used by all kinds of industries. This paper will bring out the design and implementation of a stamping machine using the described components.
