AUTOMATIC COCONUT CUTTING MACHINE

SYNOPSIS

The purpose of this research is to design, fabricate, test, and evaluate the
prototype of an automatic coconut cutting machine. The design concept is that coconut
cutting is accomplished by pneumatic press on a coconut sitting on a sharp knife in a
vertical plane. The machine consists of 4 main parts: 1) machine frame, 2) cutting
base, 3) knife set, and 4) pneumatic system. The machine parts contacting edible parts
of the fruit are made of food-grade stainless steel. In operation, a coconut is placed on
the cutting base and the pneumatic control is switched on. The coconut is
automatically moved to the pressing unit and cut in half by a knife set.

INTRODUCTION

Cutting Machine Introduction the Classification of Cutting Machine Cutting

machine can be distinguished from the cutting materials, and it is divided into metal
material cutting machine and non metal material cutting machine. Metal material
cutting machine is divided into flame cutting machine, plasma cutting machine, laser
cut machine etc.Non metal material cutting machine is a machine that mainly operated
by cutter.

Cutting machine can be also distinguished from the control means, and it is
divided into numerical control cutting machine and manual cutting machine.
Numerical control cutting machine is the use of digital program driving movement of
the machine tools, with the movement of the machine tools, cutting tool random with
the object is cut. The integration of machinery cutting machine called the numerical
control cutting machine.
