Development of the Solar Power Chain Link Fencing Machine

Abstract: Fences can be defined as arrangement that provides an obstruction, enclosure, or a boundary, made up of posts or stakes linked together by boards, wire, or rails. The chains run vertically and are bent into a zigzag pattern so that each "zig" hooks with the wire immediately on one side and each "zag" with the wire immediately on the other. The manufacturing of chain-link fencing is called weaving. Preparing zigzag shape wire is a quite challenging task and cannot be done using basic mechanisms. So here we design a smart mechanism to automatically bend wires in order to get zigzag shaped wire for mesh. These wires can then be linked together to create chain link or meshes. For this system we make use of a wire bobbin to supply raw wire to the system, a D.C. motor with shaft connected to a unique mechanism that achieves our bending requirements. The system is a small yet complex system that achieves the task with ease.
