AUTO INDEXING GEAR CUTTING ATTACHMENT FOR SHAPING MACHINE

Abstract

A shaper is used to machine a single job by using a single point cutting tool and hence it cannot be used for high production rates. This project intends to use pneumatic shaper for high production of automatic gear cutting with auto indexing work piece. A small ratchet gear structure has been thus devised to demonstrate the gear cutting attachment in shaping machines. The pneumatic source of power with control accessories is used to drive the ram or the cylinder piston to obtain the forward and return strokes. By this arrangement the forward/reverse stroke of the pneumatic cylinder is adjustable type when compared with the conventional machines. We desired a shaping machine which will automatically index the job and gives automatic tool feed to the pneumatic cylinder.
