Detailed Description

In every engineering, medical, chemical, or textile industry, the goods are packed to transport them from industry to consumer. Packaging of wooden cases involves nailing. In all the industries, nailing is done manually by hammer. Generally, for the other operations and processes, some kind of machine or instrument is used to improve speed and operating convenience. The nailers in the packaging section of the industry are nailing constantly for eight hours, which causes strain to their hands. So there is a need to make the nailing operation easy by some means. There are some automatic nailing machines, but the rate of making boxes is higher, which is not needed. Secondly, its cost is high, which an average industry cannot afford just for nailing.
