AUTOMATIC WIRE CUTTER AND WINDER MACHINE

Abstract

Wire cutting is essential in the electrical industry. Smaller organizations usually cut and wind wire manually as the machines available in the industry to do so tend to be very expensive. This project is focused on reducing the use of manpower to cut, measure and wind wires as well as making an affordable alternative to cut wire. This will reduce the chances of mistakes being made. This project is designed to automatically cut a specific measurement of wire as well as automatically winding wire. This machine will take the input from the keypad, sending them to the machine to start pulling the desired measurement of wire if the option to cut wire is chosen . The wire cutter will then cut the wire and this process will repeat for the amount chosen. If the option to wind wire is chosen, the machine will turn the wire spool until the key to stop is pressed. This project is realized using Arduino as the microcontroller and 4x4 keypad as the input. For the output, a 16x2 LCD is used as a display, a stepper motor is used to pull the wire as well as turn the wire spool, and a servo motor is used to move the wire cutter.
