ABSTRACT
 Nut deburring is used to remove burrs in the work. When the job is machined
burrs are produced due to various reasons in the work and this may reduce the
aesthetic value of the product.

 The main objective of the operation is to get good surface finish. Machining at any
scale usually produces burrs on surfaces;  

 The deburring operation is performed by mounting the head of the machine with
an inclination for the gravity feed of the work. The work is allowed through the
guide ways and the work is clamped and separated with the help of pneumatic
cylinders.

 The expected benefits of the project are the low cost automation which is done
with the help of PLC which reduces the time involved and the fatigue. This will
also increase the production and decreases the amounts spend on the quality.
INTRODUCTION
 A burr is a raised edge or small pieces of material
remaining attached to a work piece after a modification
process. It may be present in the form of a fine wire on
the edge of a freshly sharpened tool or as a raised
portion on a surface, after being struck a blow from an
equally hard or heavy object. A normal burr from well-
maintained tools is usually less than 10% of material
thickness. If burrs are not acceptable (burr-free
requirement), then deburring needs to be done.
NEED FOR DEBURRING
OPERATION
 Deburring is important for quality, aesthetics,
functionality and smooth operation of working
parts. It is also important for safety.
 Even a small notch can cause moving parts to
catch, creating the potential for accident, injury
or unnecessary delay in production.
 Rough edges can also cause injury when
individuals are required to handle blanks.
 Each of these preventable problems can cost
companies a great deal of money.
PHASES OF THE PROJECT
 MECHANICAL
 ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS
 PNEUMATICS
 MECHANICAL
The mechanical part of our project actually consists of the following
steps.
 Setting up a suitable guide arrangement for the drill head.
 Arranging a work piece guiding setup.
 Fixing the two guide plates with the base.
 Aligning the centre point of the tool with that of the work centre.
 Placing the cylinders to full fill the sequence.
 Making the guide ways according to the requirement.

OPERATIONS
 Milling the base plate .
 Brazing the end effecters of the cylinders.
 Grinding the extra metal in the end effecters.
 Drilling the plates for fastening.
FABRICATION PROCESS
 The machine is made using a dismantled drill head attachment of a US
machine.

 The head is given with an inclination of 35 degree for gravity feed;

 The guide ways is bolted to the guide plate. The pneumatic cylinders are also
mounted to the guide plate.

 Both the tool head and the guide plate are given some inclination and is
attached to the base.

 Two single acting and two double acting cylinders are used to fulfill the
operation.

 The single acting cylinders are used for the tool feeding and for the stopping
action and is controlled by a 5/2 DCV.

 The double acting cylinders are used for separating and clamping action and
is controlled by a 3/2 DCV.

 Pencil cylinder is used to control the mechanical actuator switch in the tool
cylinder.
ELECTRICAL AND
ELECTRONICS
 Selecting the appropriate motor for the spindle.

 Fixing a DOL starter for the main spindle motor.

 Wiring the solenoid coil for actuation

 PLC.
PNEUMATICS
The pneumatic section consists of the following steps.
 Selecting the cylinder based upon the maximum
pressure.
 Selecting the directional control valve based upon
the cylinders used.
 Placing the FRL unit and silencers.
 Fitting the tubes to the entire setup.
 Clamping at the areas at which two tubes are
connected.
PNEUMATIC
COMPONENTS
The following are the pneumatic components used to satisfy the
sequence.
 Pneumatic cylinders – 3 nos
 Clamping cylinder.
 Separating cylinder.
 Stopper cylinder.
 5/2 directional control valves- 2 nos.
 3/2 directional control valves- 2 nos.
 FRL unit.
 Air compressor.
 Silencers.
 Tubes.
INSTALLATION OF FRL
UNIT
 
 The filter is installed upstream from other conditioning
components. This protects internal moving parts in the
regulator from harmful contaminants and avoids fouling
the lubricator reservoir.
 Large capacity filters are available to protect a pneumatic
network, but it is more common practice to install filter in
each branch. Likewise regulators are installed at each
branch which requires a specified pressure setting.
 Some pressure regulators are designed to be mounted on
valve manifolds.
 Lubricators are installed at downstream end of the FRL
unit. Just after the regulator and should be placed as close
to the equipment as possible.

HYDRO SPEED
REGULATOR
 The regulator will control the forward speed of the spindle
to any desired rate.
 The suitable feed can be set to the work piece.
 A constant smooth rate of travel is obtained.
 The regulator prevents sudden forward surge breakthrough
and thus prevents the drill damage.
 It is a compact and essential unit for precision and
maintenance of accuracy, clean finish and long life.
 It has also other application as like a shock absorber or a
linear speed regulator.

 CONCLUSION
Thus we have designed the gateway
mechanism and the machine is operated
manually. The PLC program are yet to be
done to make it perform automatically.
THINGS TO BE DONE IN
THE FUTURE
 We are going to make this machine
suitable for components of various sizes
by manufacturing a adjustable guide ways
and suitable standards for the tool.
 This machine is also to be manufactured in
many numbers for the use in production
area and as a part of its quality
improvement.
