Abstracts: Increasing the productivity is one of the main requirements of production engineering in any kind of manufacturing industry. Either by reducing the operation time, material handling time or by improving the capability of the machine to produce the components in an increased number at the same time is very essential for an industry to achieve the same. To achieve this several changes can be made in mechanism of machine or in speed changing mechanism or anything else depending on working condition. such changes differ from place to place. This project focuses on improving the productivity of conventional Hacksaw machine. To achieve the mentioned objective the project employs the Scotch yoke mechanism in power hacksaw machine which enables it to cut two components at a time and thereby improving productivity.
