Design of a Hydraulic Circuit for a Four-Sided Shaper Machine

Abstract

This paper introduces a hydraulic circuit designed specifically for a four-sided shaper machine, featuring two double-acting cylinders in synchronized operation. Powered by a dual-pump system, the circuit includes an automatic mechanism to achieve continuous reciprocation, enabling precise and coordinated movement of the cylinders. This setup enhances shaping accuracy and significantly reduces operation time. The design emphasizes efficient fluid control and a compact structure, optimizing workflows for increased productivity in shaping applications. Tailored for shaping tasks in various manufacturing contexts, this circuit offers a practical and versatile solution for industrial operations. The study details the circuit’s schematic layout, functionality, and operational benefits, providing a foundation for practical application and potential advancements in hydraulic-driven shaping systems.
