The design of automatic winding machine feeder

Abstrakt. The subject of this Bachelor’s Thesis is automation of the gaskets production process in the workshop of Leader Gasket of Slovakia, s.r.o. The objective is to design inner rings feeder for semi-automatic winding machine. This will upgrade the semi-automatic winding machine, required operator to load inner ring, to automatic winding machine. The final product should make the process fully automatic and simpler with minimum requirements for operator actions. The Bachelor’s Thesis provides the analysis of input parameters required by existing production process. The next part is the design of the movement mechanism by accepting the optimal selection of the movers and 3D modeling by using Solid Works software. The last part describes the control logic of the feeding mechanism, selection of proper pneumatic and electronic control components and their integration with the existing equipment, automatic winding machine, which the feeding mechanism will be part of. The output of the Bachelor’s Thesis is the design of real feeding mechanism, which fulfills all required performance criterions and is ready to be build
