IoT Based Pneumatic Sheet Metal Cutting Machine
This paper introduces an advanced automatic sheet metal cutting system that seamlessly integrates Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and Human-Machine Interface (HMI) technologies, revolutionizing manufacturing processes. The system's primary objectives include enhancing operational efficiency, accuracy, and safety standards. By utilizing precision sensors and responsive actuators, the system performs intricate metal cutting operations according to customer specifications. The HMI touch screen serves as the interface through which operators interact with the system, while the PLC processes data and dispatches instructions to the pneumatic cylinder, orchestrating the cutting operations. The HMI interface empowers operators with real-time oversight and control over the cutting process, enabling prompt adjustments based on feedback. Safety measures such as emergency stop buttons and interlocks further ensure operator well-being and prevent accidents. The integration of PLC and HMI technologies significantly reduces human errors, boosting productivity and ensuring precise cutting results. This innovation redefines industrial automation benchmarks, offering industries an efficient, accurate, and secure solution for high-speed cutting processes. Building effective industrial systems are now possible with the help of the Internet of Things abbreviated as IoT. In nowadays automatic systems are recommended over manual systems. IoT is the latest and rising internet technology. IoT is a developing network of everyday products, from industrial machinery to consumer goods which exchange information and carry out tasks while consumers are attending to other responsibilities. A machine tool is used to punch sheet metals to increase the static stability of the section of the sheet. The movement of the piston in the pneumatic punching machine is from the compressed air which generates high pressure on the piston. The focus of this project is on the development of an IoT- enabled sheet metal punching machine. The main objective of this project is to develop anIoT-based pneumatic punching machine that is capable of monitoring the production parameters of the pneumatic punching machine through an easily manageable web interface. Additionally this technology is innovative in that it allows the control of the punching machine through the Internet of Things as well as the tracking of production data or production values
