  • Abstract:
  • Burr formation is a common challenge in industrial manufacturing, particularly in operations like milling, drilling, and turning. Burrs, which are unwanted protrusions of material left on a workpiece after machining, can cause issues such as reduced component functionality, poor surface finish, and difficulties during assembly. Conventional burr removal techniques involve pneumatic or electric systems, each offering distinct advantages and limitations. Pneumatic tools are known for their high speed and torque but often lack precision, while electric tools provide better control and energy efficiency but may not be as effective in removing larger burrs. The aim of this project is to design and develop a hybrid pneumatic-electric burr removal machine that combines the best features of both pneumatic and electric systems. This hybrid machine allows for the flexible switching between high-speed pneumatic operation for aggressive burr removal and controlled electric operation for precise finishing. The machine addresses the need for a versatile deburring solution capable of handling a wide range of materials and component geometries, while also increasing productivity and reducing downtime. The hybrid burr removal machine is designed with dual-mode functionality, which enhances operational efficiency and quality consistency. By integrating pneumatic and electric modes, the system offers improved adaptability for various manufacturing tasks. This ensures faster deburring for heavy-duty materials and more precise removal for delicate components. The design process includes conceptualization, CAD modelling, component selection, and prototype testing to validate its performance in real-world industrial settings. The machine development process also considers sustainability, as the hybrid design optimizes energy usage by dynamically selecting the most appropriate power source based on operational demands. Additionally, the integration of automation-ready controls ensures that the machine can be easily adapted to smart manufacturing environments, supporting Industry 4.0 initiatives. In conclusion, the hybrid pneumatic-electric burr removal machine represents a significant advancement in deburring technology, providing an adaptable, efficient, and high-quality solution for industries that require precise and efficient burr removal. The resulting machine enhances operational flexibility, reduces deburring time, and ensures consistent quality across various materials and geometries. It is particularly beneficial in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical devices where precision and efficiency are critical. The hybrid solution not only improves productivity but also contributes to sustainable manufacturing practices through optimized energy use and reduced equipment redundancy Keywords: DA pneumatic Cylinder, De-Burring Tool, Power Supply Board, Pneumatic Toggle Switch Controller & AFR- 2000 PG controller Valve, DC Wiper Motors, DC motor speed controller, Display Digital Voltmeter and Ammeter Current Tester
