Eddy current method has an important place as
one of the non-destructive material testing methods for the determination of
wire defects. One of the important
components in this method is properly wound coils. In this study, the design
and structural analysis of an industrial type device that can perform fast and
uniform winding in desired diameters and dimensions has been carried out. For
the design, a 3D design of the device was made using Solidworks programme. The
designed device consists of unloader, tensioner and winder sections. For the analyses, structural analyses of each
part were carried out by taking into account the mechanical effects of these 3
separate parts in the operating state of the system. ANSYS Workbench programme
using finite element method was used for the analyses. The system's stresses
and deformations were carefully calculated, and the device's stress
concentrations were estimated by calculating the safety factors under these
loads. With the necessary structural modifications, the device was designed to
operate safely and securely. The results obtained are presented in graphs and
tables. This study provides important contributions to the design of more
efficient, safe and durable winding machines, and the results have provided
design improvements that will improve the performance of the machine.
