Industry 4.0, the fourth industrial revolution, is the cyber-physical transformation of manufacturing. Digitization and intellectualization of the manufacturing process are the needs of today's industry. Today's manufacturing industry is changing from mass production to specialized production. Rapid advances in manufacturing technology that help to increase productivity become possible with the knowledge of different mechanisms and their industrial applications in a complex form with computer and sensor control. During the study of different mechanisms Geneva mechanism is found to have a wide application in automation and towards industry 4.0 in industries like packaging & shifting, production and assembly lines, liquid filling equipment, coal handling, steel plants, bottling plants, etc. The paper presents theoretical and practical aspects based on the Geneva mechanism model. This type of mechanism is an example of an intermediate device that converts continuous rotation into intermittent rotary motion. It consists of alternating periods of movement and rest. The most commonly used are the gear mechanism, cam-wheel mechanism, and intermediate gear mechanism. Compared with the four mechanisms, the noise of the inflated mechanism is large and the accuracy is low. The cam-wheel is very accurate and can be controlled with various motion curves, but the processing requirements are quite high. The impact of the intermediate gear mechanism is large and requires a light load. The purpose of this project is to build a model of an automatic paper-cutting machine. A Geneva drive is an indexing mechanism that changes continuous motion into intermittent motion, moving between equal intervals when cutting paper. This tool is used to reduce manual paper cutting and save time. This machine is useful for the paper cutting industry and we can avoid human labor and error.
