    The development of pneumatically operated compression molding machine for polymer composites. The main aim of fabricating this machine is to prepare the fiber reinforced polymer composite samples for testing purpose. Researchers working on composites for research work they require the samples of composites with different composition for the purpose of testing. For that this machine is useful for the researchers and also for the manufacturer to produce small sized less complicated plastic components. In this machine temperature of specimen dies can be controlled automatically by using sensors and by using FRL (filter, regulator and lubricator) unit, the pressure can be controlled. The low density, high strength and high stiffness to weight ratio, fiber reinforced composite materials are manufactured by this machine are low cost. In this research work, the tensile strength of test specimen of Epoxy without Fiber, Epoxy with carbon fiber, and Epoxy with coconut fiber are tested and compared.
