PROJECT THEME
I. Linkage mechanism:
1. Research on the types of mechanisms used in field
A large blade mounted on a vertical frame that moves up and down to cut through the material
is the fundamental mechanism of a guillotine. A hydraulic or pneumatic system that drives the
blade up and down with extreme precision and power controls its movement. The profundity of
the cut can also be managed in addition to adjusting the blade's angle to cut materials at
various angles.
Various safety features, such as guards and sensors that stop the blade from operating when
there is an obstruction or when someone is too near to the machine, can also be added to
guillotine machines. For cutting numerous pieces of the same size and shape, some guillotines
also have programmable features that enable the user to pre-set cutting patterns and
sequences. [2]
[Fig 1.2]
1.3 Other Types of Guillotine Mechanisms
There are several other kinds of guillotine mechanisms used in business in addition to the
conventional hydraulic or pneumatic guillotine. [2]
[Fig 1.3.1]
They are often found in smaller printing businesses or in schools for cutting paper. Even though
manual guillotines are slower and less accurate than automated ones, they can still be useful
for smaller tasks where accuracy is not as important. [2]
1.3.2 Semi-Automatic Guillotines
A computer is used to partly automate some operations on semi-automatic guillotines. The
computer manages the blade movement and cutting accuracy, but the operator still needs to
insert and unload the material. This kind of guillotine is frequently used in medium-sized
packing or printing facilities where accuracy and speed are desirable but not essential.

2. Structural analysis of the mechanism: identify elements and joints; joint degrees of
freedom; kinematic constraints; mechanism degrees of freedom;
A: R1-2 f=1 (Θz) c= 2 (Sx , Sy )
B: R2-3 f=1 (Oz) c= 2 (Sx, Sy )
C: R3-4 f=1 (Oz) c= 2 (Sx, Sy )
M=S(nel-1) -∑c= 3(3-1)-5=1
M = ∑f-S=4-3=1
