Semi-Automatic Hydro-Pneumatic Eyelet Press Machine | Machine Design & Development

Report
A year ago, I designed and built this Semi-Automatic Hydro-Pneumatic Eyelet Press Machine for Motorcycle Helmet Safety-Lock Assembly. The project involved developing a practical pressing solution combining mechanical design, hydro-pneumatic technology, precision tooling, and semi-automatic operation to achieve consistent and reliable pressing performance. The pressing process is carried out by a pneumatic cylinder specially designed for the mechanism and the cylinder is designed to operate after pressing two control switches simultaneously, giving priority to the safety of the machine operator.
