Swaging Process for Productivity improvement in the manufacture of Spindles

Abstract

Improvement in productivity will be achieved through utilization of resources in a better way. Economy and efficiency are two routes to achieve improvements in productivity. In this journal paper, designing the Spindle Blade and Aluminium Plug in the spindle assembly used in Textile Frames have been deliberated by analyzing the trials conducted on different processes and machine tools for reducing cost and improving productivity. Conventionally, a copying lathe is utilized for the manufacture of the spindle blades and the aluminium plugs. In this journal paper, the design analysis and optimization of spindles have been attempted through a swaging process. In addition to increasing the productivity, swaging process also saves considerable amount of material and labour with increase in tensile strength of Spindles.
