Abstract: Power press machine is essential in metalworking and fabrication, enabling precise cutting, shearing, punching, and notching operations. However, traditional cutting machines often come with high costs and limited portability, making them less accessible for small-scale and flexible manufacturing setups. This study focuses on the design and development of a compact and versatile power press that addresses these limitations. The power press machine operates using a three-phase motor with an efficient power transmission system utilizing V-belt pulley. It incorporates an automated control mechanism, multiple worktables for diverse operations, and a lubrication system to enhance efficiency and longevity. The reciprocating motion of the slider block ensures precision in cutting and shearing tasks. Designed for ease of maintenance and high operational accuracy, this power press reduces material wastage and labour costs while improving productivity. Its compact form factor makes it suitable for various industrial applications without requiring major modifications. The developed system provides a cost-effective and reliable solution for precision metalworking, contributing to enhanced manufacturing efficiency and process automation.
