Automatic electric reel line winder

Abstract

The winding of a fishing line or the like from difference variety of fishing reels, which include a pair of reel holders positioned on the opposite sides of the reel with one of the holders being driven by a motor has created several technical issues including the physical set-up, electric motor, torque and motor controller. In this project, the author will carry out both fundamental study and practical application of different motors for the line winder. The considering parameters include the speed, ease of use, size and cost of the winder. The project also involved the setting up of an automatic electric reel line winder that is use for winding a line on a spool or a reel with a rotatable handle. The author will automate the whole electrical line winder machine so that minimum human intervention is necessary while at the same time keep the cost of the setup reasonable. The design of the setup is such that any size of spool can be loaded into the setup for the application. This project will not only test the author what he has studied in his electrical and electronics courses, he will also have to design and construct the physical setup of the line winder.
