The pneumatic system has gained a large 
amount of importance in last few decades. This 
importance is due to its accuracy and cost. This 
convenience in operating the pneumatic system has 
made us to design and fabricate this unit as our 
project. This unit, as we hope that it can be operated 
easily with semi skilled operators.
The pneumatic press tool has an advantage 
of working in low pressure, that is even a pressure of 
6 bar is enough for operating the unit. The 
pressurized air passing through the tubes to the 
cylinder, forces the piston out whose power through 
the linkage is transmitted to the punch. The work 
piece thus got is for required dimensions and the 
piece can be collected through the land clearance 
provided in the die. The die used in this is fixed such 
that the die of required shape can be used according 
to the requirement. This enables us to use different 
type punch dies resulting in a wide range of products. 
Different types of punch as requirement can be thus 
got. According to the work material the operating 
pressure can be varied
