DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF DUAL SIDE SHAPER MACHINE USING SCOTCH YOKE MECHANISM

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

This paper describes about dual side shaper machine using a scotch yoke mechanism which can be used in industries for cutting process. A Shaper is a machine used for shaping (metal removal) operation on the work piece. A usual shaper machine operates by a principle of whit worth quick return mechanism where materials are processed at one end and other end remains idle. But in a dual side shaper machine, materials are processed at both ends which become advantageous when compared to usual shaper. Nowadays, Industries try to achieve high production rate at a minimal amount of time, cost etc. Usage of dual side shaper machine eliminates most disadvantages faced by a single side shaper. The main advantage of dual side shaper is that it decreases time as well as production cost. Thereby it increases productivity. Another advantage is that number of moving parts is less when compared to usual machine. This model uses a single power source which can be connected to gears for increasing or decreasing the speed of cut.
