DESIGN OF AN AUTOMATIC COIL LATH BONDING MACHINE FOR DISTRIBUTON TRANSFORMERS

Abstract

It is desired that each product has the same quality and standard values in industrial production systems. Accordingly, it is aimed to reduce the use of human labor force in almost every industrial production line in order to increase the quality standards while reducing production costs. In today's developing technology, reduction of human labor is possible with industrial automation systems. This work deals with a machine design that automatically enables the bonding of lath used in high-power transformer coils. As known, lath bonding in transformers is mostly done by human power. Therefore, providing of the standard in production is becoming difficult and slow. With the designed machine, the production process is shortened and it is aimed that the process to be done is better quality and it is carried out in accordance with the standards.
