This document summarizes a project to design and fabricate a multipurpose hydraulic angular sheet forming machine. The machine uses hydraulic power to transfer energy and apply force for metal forming operations that require heavy pressure, such as drawing and forming. Hydraulic systems offer advantages over other drive types for these applications, providing large forces with low-cost energy. The design of the machine will apply Pascal's law of hydraulic pressure transmission to clamp, form, and shape sheet metal parts into angular shapes.

DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF MULTI PURPOSE
HYDRAULIC ANGULAR SHEET FORMING MACHINE
SYNOPSIS
A hydraulic fluid power system is defined as a means of power
transmission
in which relatively incompressible fluid is used as the power
transmitting media. The primary purpose of hydraulic system is the transfer of
energy from one location to another location and this energy into useful work.
In this project fabricated model of Multipurpose Hydraulic angle
Sheet forming machine will describe the working principles as well as hydraulic
machines application and its advantages. Metal forming can be defined as a
process in which the desired and shape are obtained through the deformation of
metals plastically under the action of externally applied force. The type of drive
depends upon the length of the stroke needed and loaded on the ram. In this project
we have selected applied to the hydraulic force for the angle forming machine.
The Hydraulic drive is used when a very heavy pressures is required on the ram
this is used for drawing and forming operation .System pressure can be generated
in the form of any physical action which result a compression over the Hydraulic
system.

2. Pascal’s Law:
Pascal’s law states that the pressure applied anywhere to a confined liquid it
transmitted equally to every portion of the surface of the containing vessel.
Refer the following fig. When a force is applied to the liquid by a piston, the liquid
transmits this force equally to all surfaces of the container.

3. Advantage
1. The process uses low- cost energy source
2. Large machines frames are not required on the process
3. Intricate shapes on material of low form ability can be worked fairly easily.
Disadvantage
1) Periodic maintenance is needed
2) Hydraulic accessories are costly
