Abstract: This project focuses on the design and fabrication of an automated pneumatic hammering machine using nylon fiber to enhance performance, efficiency, and durability. The system operates on the principle of compressed air, where an air compressor supplies high-pressure air that is controlled by a solenoid valve and directed into a pneumatic cylinder. The reciprocating motion of the cylinder piston is converted into a continuous hammering action, suitable for various industrial operations such as metal forming, riveting, forging, and assembly work. A control unit, such as a timer or PLC, is incorporated to automate the hammering process by precisely controlling the stroke frequency and operation time. This ensures consistent output, reduces human error, and improves overall productivity. The integration of nylon fiber plays a crucial role in this system by acting as a shock absorber, minimizing vibrations, reducing noise levels, and preventing mechanical wear and tear of components. The machine is designed with a metal frame structure to withstand repeated impacts and ensure stability during operation. The use of PU pipes enables efficient air transmission with minimal leakage. This automated system significantly reduces manual labour, increases operational speed, and enhances safety compared to traditional hammering methods. Experimental results show that the machine delivers uniform hammering force with improved efficiency and reduced energy loss. The project demonstrates a reliable, cost-effective, and low maintenance solution for industrial automation. Furthermore, it has the potential for future enhancements such as sensor-based feedback systems, IoT integration, and advanced control mechanisms to further optimize performance and energy utilization.
