Foil Rewinding Machine

Project: • Design & Fabrication of a Foil Rewinding Machine. • Main Rewinding Motor Power: 2 hp. • Motor Control: VFD Inverter. • Output RPM: up to 350 RPM. • Power Transfer System: V Belts & Pulleys. • Rewind Materials: Aluminum Foil, Stretch Wrap and Baking Paper. • Max Rewinding Width: 600mm. • Max Input Foil Roll Weight: 200 kg. • Double Core Handling Head. • Electronic Controlled winding length. • Operation Voltage: 220V. • Circuit Breaker-Protected Power Input. Process: • Used Solidworks Weldments and SheetMetal mainly to design the machine. • Performed needs analysis and Sourced different machine parts. • Designed different machine mechanisms. • Performed FEA & Frequency analysis for design validation. • Implemented DFM & DFA principles to reduce assembly and manufacturing cost. • Prepared Drawings for Manufacturing. • Used SolidCAM for toolpath generation for Machining. • Used MAG & ARC welding to join Machine Parts. Result: • The Machine fulfilled customer’s needs rewinding up to 500kg per day. • The Machine is designed to be converted to Semi-Automatic easily which increases machine efficiency and reliability. • The Machine included 375 Liters internal storage which lower’s space required to store rewinding items.
