This document presents an automatic vegetable cutting machine. It contains an introduction outlining the machine's use of a pneumatic cylinder for reciprocal motion to cut vegetables quickly and easily. The objectives are to study the machine's applications and design. It cuts vegetables through a supply, cut, collect process using a pneumatic cylinder, solenoid valve, and blade. A square case holds the vegetable while a sliding bar regulates its entry to the cutting area. The machine saves labor costs and time while ensuring safe, fast vegetable cutting.

As the vegetables goes inside the upper cylinder operates
and it presses the vegetables and when the upper cylinder is
released the lower cylinder operates and after that the
vegetable is cut into pieces. The above mechanical assembly
is operated in a particular sequence due to the use of
electronic control circuitry as the on and off time.

11. Development Proposal
11
 A square case is set which acts as a vegetable holder
 A sliding bar mechanism is used along with the pathway
to ensure the regulated entry of the vegetable.
 Pneumatic cylinder requires air compressor for working
on pneumatic energy
 A blade is attached to the piston rod plate of the
pneumatic cylinder
 A bucket is set to collect the pieces of vegetables

12. ADVANTAGES
• Ensures safe Vegetable Cutting
• Saves the labor cost
• Easy & Fast

13. Conclusion
› The total system is developed on some
electronic and mechanical components
› Though the system would be slightly
expensive, it will save lot of timing as well
as requirement of workers
