Design and Fabrication of Semi-automatic Toroidal Electromagnetic Coil Winding Machine

Abstract

The Design and Fabrication of Semi-automatic Toroidal Electromagnetic Coil Winding Machine project aims to develop an innovative solution for efficiently winding toroidal electromagnetic coils. This project was undertaken as a Final Year Project (FYP) by a group of dedicated engineering students from NUST CEME.

The objective of this project was to design and fabricate a semi-automatic winding machine capable of accurately and precisely winding toroidal electromagnetic coils. The machine incorporates automation to improve the winding process, reduce manual labor, and enhance overall productivity.

The project involved extensive research on coil winding techniques, automation systems, and the design considerations for toroidal coils. Through the exploration of existing literature and consultation with experts in the field, the group gained valuable insights and knowledge to guide the design and development process.

The design phase of the project focused on creating a robust and user-friendly machine. The group utilized computer-aided design (CAD) software to develop detailed 3D models of the machine components. The design incorporated features such as adjustable winding parameters, tension control mechanisms, and safety measures to ensure optimal performance and operator convenience.

Upon completing the design phase, the group proceeded with the fabrication and assembly of the machine. The fabrication process involved sourcing high-quality materials, machining components to precise specifications, and integrating various subsystems to ensure seamless operation. Rigorous testing and quality control measures were implemented to verify the functionality and reliability of the machine.

The semi-automatic toroidal electromagnetic coil winding machine successfully achieved the project objectives. It offers precise and consistent winding of toroidal coils, reducing human error and enhancing efficiency. The machine's adjustable parameters allow for customization based on specific coil requirements, ensuring versatility and adaptability for various applications.

The project also involved conducting extensive testing and evaluation of the machine's performance. The group carried out comparative studies to assess the efficiency and accuracy of the semi-automatic winding machine in comparison to traditional manual winding methods. The results demonstrated significant improvements in terms of speed, precision, and overall productivity.

In conclusion, the Design and Fabrication of Semi-automatic Toroidal Electromagnetic Coil Winding Machine project showcases the successful development of a specialized machine that revolutionizes the toroidal coil winding process. The project not only provides a practical solution for industry applications but also imparts valuable knowledge and skills to the participating engineering students.
