PARTS NAME
The Frame or Body or Base:
As we know, every MACHINE TOOL does consist of a frame or body to create a structure and dependency for the whole system. Similarly, the power hacksaw does consist of the base where the Power Hacksaw Blade Arm, Blade, Machine Vise, etc. are rest and fixed.
DC Motor:
As the hacksaw machine is an automatic machine tool, it requires a source to run. The DC Motor is a Direct Current Electrical system that will convert Electrical Energy into Mechanical Energy we can say that the motor will utilize the electrical power to generate the magnetic flux between the coils and responsible for the revolution of the mechanical shaft.
Power Hacksaw Blade Arm:
The power hacksaw blade arm is the support for its blade that is fixed to the arm. The movement of the power hacksaw blade depends upon the arm itself.
Flywheel:
A Flywheel is a round and rotating component that is connected to the motor or gear output using a shaft. It will transmit the energy to the horizontal guide and also stores the energy according to the requirement.
Horizontal Guide:
The horizontal guide is a set that is connected to the flywheel and the power hacksaw blade arm. The horizontal guide is a hallow cylindrical component that will slide over a shaft smoothly.
Power Hacksaw Blade:
The blade is the component that does the cutting operation. It is thin and long in length with sharp cutting edges.
Switch on/off Power Box:
The switch on/off power box will help the operator to start and stop the operation of the power hacksaw machine according to his requirement.
Machine Vise:
The machine vise is the workpiece holding setup. To prevent the movement of the workpiece while operating the machine vise is used. We can place the workpiece in between the two slides and can be tightened using the screw movement.
MECHANISM
According to it, the speed will be transferred to the flywheel which is connected to the horizontal movement setup. Due to the flywheel rotation, the horizontal setup will move back and forth which results in arm and power hacksaw blade movement.
Whenever a material (metal or non-metallic) is placed in the machine vise, the blade movement and feed will cut the material. This is the working of the power hacksaw machine which is simple and faster.
Although, the working of power hacksaw depends upon the electricity the working speed will depend upon the thickness of the material that required cutting.
- If the thickness or diameter of the material is more, then it is supposed to perform the operation at low speed for saving the blade for long life and preventing the power hacksaw blade damage or breakage.
- Similarly, we can run the power hacksaw at high speeds for less thickness materials whereas; it will not affect its blade and at the same time it can durable for many cycles.
Note: The cutting operation generates the heat and leads to the breakage of the blade; to prevent this, water is used as the coolant.
