Abstract

Abstract:-The electric switch Slot Cutting Machine (SCM) is the special purpose machine used for slot cutting operation onelectrical switch wooden board i.e. plywood with laminate and there is a continuous requirement of laminated electricalswitch board for electrical shopkeepers. We have to cut the slots for switch/socket on the board as per required dimensions. Avery few machines are available in the market to perform this operation and those are little bit expensive. The objective ofthis work is to design and fabricate electric switch board Slot Cutting Machine (SCM) which would be more economical ascompare to traditional slot cutting machine. The performance of SCM is compared with conventional slot cutting machineand comparative study carried out with their functional productive perspective. The SCM machines cuts multiple slots at atime. The results indicate that the SCM had given better, accurate and faster results when compared with conventional slotcutting machine. SCM reduces cost and effort of cutting slots in wooden board to a great extent in batch wise production.Keywords - Switch/Socket slots, slit cutters, driver and driven pulley, stud, electric motor, worm and worm wheel pair, belt drive
