Abstract: This work aims at design and development of Special Purpose Mechanism for assembly of 0.5mm klick lead pencil for KOKUYO CAMLIN LTD. The important assembly stations consists of feeding the lead on the assembled pencil with barrel and chuck with the help of special fixture and pneumatic circuit followed by mounting cylindrical eraser over the pencil barrel and at last pencil cap for feeding the lead forward during working. All the three operations are simultaneously carried out over the turn table which rotates in forward step and dwell period with use of special Geneva Mechanism. The design of jigs, fixtures and pneumatic circuits will be done on Solid Works and simulated using ANSYS if necessary. The designed component will be then manufactured and fabricated at KOKUYO CAMLIN CAMPUS at Vasai Road and will be tested for the product. The results expected will be less assembly time and faster work production which saves human errors, electricity and time of production.
