ABSTRACT

Conventionally in many manufacturing industries, embossing operation is carried out

manually using jigs and fixtures or by means of a machine. These machines are
mechanical, pneumatic or hydraulic. These machines are costlier for manufacturing,
installation and for maintenance also. Along with running cost of these types of
machines is also high. As various application for automation & machinery arise,
machinery is developed to meet the needs of the particular application .Recently there
has been an increase in the need for machinery which is small in scale. The need
exists for machinery of any size which can exhibit a fine degree of adjustment. In
many control system application accuracy of movement is crucial & simple on-off
control will not suffice. It is also desirable that any machine, whatever its size, be
efficient & require little or no maintenance. An electromagnetic embossing machine
proves itself better against these machines in respect with above said points .This
project is about building a working prototype of above said electromagnetic
embossing machine. In this machine embossing operation is carried out in project
work on very thin aluminium sheet or other soft material. In the machine there is
electromagnet which incorporates a plunger passing through it.
