Designing and Fabrication of Automatic Cutting Machine

Abstract

The project undertaken by us is about the design and fabrication of a machine known as the motor driven cutting machine for food items. This machine was made with the intention of helping the fish sellers or also making household task easier. This machine mainly comprises of two mechanism, i.e Crank- Rocker mechanism and the Scott-Rusell mechanism clubbed together. A motor input was provided to drive the crank. The Scott Rusell then came into the picture and it led to the desired blade movement which led to the subsequent cutting of the food items. This project was actually designed to benefit the fish sellers by increasing their productivity. There, it takes a long time to cut fishes .So this mechanism would prove to be both handy as well as affordable for the fish sellers to cut the fish quickly and properly. Since the machine was fabricated in wood,it was light weight and portable
