In current competitive market it is required to develop a good quality and cost reduced machine tools with optimum usage of material. In today’s world an aesthetic view of a product will give better look to the product. Every product of metal is required to be finished. A polishing is a process of giving a better look or to give a better finish on the surface of a product. In present work a conceptual design of sheet polishing machine is developed for polishing a metal sheet and analysis of the components are carried out using ANSYS. Also machine base is optimized for the weight and cost reduction. A maximum stress and deflection produced in machine base are find out and a machine base is then optimized with the help of solid thinking inspire optimization software package for maximized stiffness and weight reduction up to 30%. A new machine base is designed from a C-channel and analysed for the maximum stress and deflection.
