• S-Wrap Haul Off Units, Designed and implemented new conveying equipment to replace the primary film haul-off unit, utilizing the capstan effect to achieve optimal line speed control and consistency. Machine includes a strategically designed drivetrain and tension control system to minimize footprint while maintaining precise line speed control.
• Trim Winder, Designed and implemented a trim winding machine with an integrated automatic collapsing roller for efficient trim removal. System incorporates a single servo axis to control both winding motion and roller actuation, utilizing the servo's integrated torque control mode to eliminate the need for costly force sensing devices, reducing both system complexity and cost.
• Telescoping Spool Chuck, Designed and implemented a pneumatic spool chuck capable of supporting a 400 lb rotating production spool, incorporating telescoping shafts and crossed roller bearings. The design aimed to double the previous stroke length while maintaining the existing envelope, optimizing both functionality and space efficiency while significantly improving ease of use and safety for production operators.
