Design and Development of Tape Applicator For Managing Wire Purposes

Abstract

The project titled Design and Development of Tape Applicator for Managing Wire Purpose is a project that needs to be achieved by evaluate the users’ performance while using manual method when taping wires and design and developing a tape applicator. This project is focused on to make it easier for the workers to tape wires on the floor without have to bend their bodies. Primary and Secondary data is gathered for completing this project. Interview is done to determine the usual method applied by users in taping wires on the floor and the difficulties that users faced when using manual method. After data is collected, idea generation of concept and sketches are made manually by sketching. Several aspects are being considered to choose the final design which is the most suitable. The final design chosen for the tape applicator is designed by Computer Aided Drawing (CAD) using Solidwork Software. At the end of the project, fabrication process is done before the product is testing. As for the result, time consumed for taping wire cables by using product is shorter than the time consumed when manual method is applied. All of the objectives are achieved.
