Design Analysis of a Nail Production Machine
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 4
Abstract
This paper describes the design analysis of a nail making machine which can be used to enhance nail productionfor the cottage industry. It is also designed to manufacture special shaped nails such as linoleum nails, roofing nails, double cap nails, shaped nails, concrete nails, etc.. with low noise generation and vibration. Galvanized steel is used in the mounting of L-section beams and frame sections due to its composition. The designed equipment also consists of lubricating system and driving system With over all dimension of1588mm length x635mm width x 804mm height and a weight of 200kg including shear force and bending moment calculations. The designed machine uses a motor of 1.5kw and with a production output of 351pieces of nails/min. Also the cost of the designed equipment is cheaper when compared to other existing machines in the nailmarket.The design implementation will boost local production of nails for cottage industry and our local economy since the cash inflow from the nail sales is also calculated through the tabulation ofoperational cost and initial investment which was found to yield a payback period of investment dividends within three months of operations,
