Literature review
Vijay pal et al the manually controlled press is converted into automatic
machine by which maximum operating time will be saved. Thus the
output will be more. This machine can be converted into a fully
automatic machine where loading and unloading of the plate can be
done automatically.
We studied the previous year’s project regarding bar bending machine.
Where that was general purpose. In this project work our aim is to
design and manufacture special purpose machine for TMT/TMX rod.
We visited Uma Buildcon’s construction site and studied the application
of bar bending machine.
Problem Definition
Current bending machines available in market are completely
manually operated.
Cnc bar bending machine is available in market but it’s too expensive.
It requires atleast 2 labours to operate.
The rod length to be bend is to be manually set by operator which
gives low accuracy.
The complete process is very much time consuming and hence the
productivity is very less.
Scope and Objectives
We will try to implement automation by using aurdino micro
controller for setting length of both the sides of bar by giving input
once initially .
After the bar is bent to desired lengths the frame will be
automatically cut by a cutter.
 The feed of the rod will be completely automated.
Methodology
 The bar will be pulled by pulley arrangement operated by motors for
which input will be given by aurdino.
 The bar will be placed between two pins, fixed pin & movable pin.
Movable pin is mounted on rotating disc which rotates pin by 180
degrees, which will bend the rod 90 degrees.
After the rod is bend the movable pin will return to its initial position.
This process will repeat for four times according to the desired
lengths.
After this the cutter will cut the rod and the frame will get separated.

Project planning
Design
We will study the previous year’s partially completed project. The design of the
project will be partially changed and analysis, manufacturing, verification and
validation will be done.

Analysis
We will do the analysis of forces required and will check if our design is valid or not.

Validation
We will validate all the operations are performed in correct manner or not.
Conclusion
The project is important, construction industry point of view.
The productivity and quality of work will be improved as operations
will be done automatically.
The cost of the machine estimated to 20 thousands which is very less
as compared to available machines.
