Rancang Bangun Mesin Penggulung Benang Bagi Penenun Tradisional di Nusa Tenggara Timur

Abstract

ABSTRACT

A yarn winding machine is a tool used to wind yarn, featuring a mechanism that rotates the roll where the yarn is wound, thereby arranging the yarn neatly and orderly for use in the weaving process. In general, traditional weavers in East Nusa Tenggara Province employ a manual yarn winding process that is time-consuming and can lead to health issues for weavers, including fatigue, finger cramps, and wrist pain. To overcome this, a more effective and efficient yarn winding tool is needed to help weavers. The benefit of this research is to produce a yarn winding machine design that speeds up the production process of winding yarn quickly and does not cause health problems for traditional weavers. The tool design process is carried out with the help of engineering design software to obtain an economical but reliable weaving tool for traditional weavers. The results of this project demonstrate that the design and manufacture of a yarn winding tool made of wood, equipped with a 12-volt DC dynamo motor, can simplify and expedite the yarn winding process, thereby increasing efficiency and production, and reducing the manual workload on traditional weavers.
