Design and Development of Broach Cleaning Mechanism

Broaching is most commonly used in industries for rapid and correct profiling of metal work piece. Broaching can be used to generate any desired shape by means of tool called broach. The profile that is largely produced is keyway and Splines. The keyways and splines are required in automotive components such as gears and pulleys. The closure relates to Design and development device used for cleaning broach tool compromising of a circular brush that rotate around the broach through a compressed air (Pelton Wheel turbine Like Mechanism) designed specifically for broaching machine to remove the metal chips accommodated in-between broach tool tooth and thus improve productivity of the broaching machine. A basic overview of burr formation and removal is presented in this paper. The main advantages, disadvantages, limitations, part quality and precision of these operations are presented.
