DIY-SMD-Resistor-cutting-machine

Hello friends in this video I will make a Automatic SMD resistor cutting machine. those who daily deals with smd components knows the struggle of cutting such small resistors. and if you need to cut them in bulk them job is even harder.

for that reason I made a mini compact machine that can cut n numbers of resistors for you.

Components used

Nema 17 Stepper motor High torque 12V DC motor linear rails 6mm Acrylic sheet 20 x 20 Alu. profile 8mm cutter blade shaft 3D printed parts Custom PCB

CIRCUIT & CUSTOM PCB

I have design circuit and PCB in easy EDA and ordered PCB from JLCPCB.com

JLCPCB.com are the world leader in PCB manufacturing there PCB production rates are very much affordable and they have world class PCB production unit results fast PCB production.

I have provided the link of circuit design so that you can modify it as per your need if you need to change any thing.

First i have used my homemade CNC router machine to cut the acrylic parts.

I have used 6mm cast Acrylic sheet because they are router friendly and easy to machine. I made two parts here one for stepper motor mount and one for DC gear motor mount.

Then I cut the 12mm wooden sheet to make the based of machine. I also attached 4 rubber legs the the base to reduce any mechanical vibration here I have used two 20x20 Alu. extrusion profile. one I place horizontally and one vertically.

On horizontal one I will attached stepper motor and on vertical one Resistor reel has been attached.

Stepper motor attached to the smaller acrylic part and DC gear motor is attached to the bigger acrylic part.

Now here I have chosen the MGH9N means 9mm linear rails which the best option for such purpose I have screw the rail vertically to the DC gear motor acrylic part.

This are some 3D printed parts used to slide the resistor reel to the cutter blade and to hold cutter blade along with linear rails.

At last I completed the wiring thanks to the custom pcb is very quick and neat and clean also.

I attached stepper motor DC motor and HMI to its ports and now we are ready for the action
