Abstract

In addition to the textile industry, unwinding of cable or fiber is used in various fields such as electronics, communication, and guided weapons. The cable released from the package exhibit a complicated behavior, entailing a combination of rotational and translational motion. This causes problems such as entangling and fracture. Therefore, it is necessary to study boundary and adhesion conditions to prevent unwinding failure. In this study, an experimental device for the analysis of cable unwinding was developed, and unwinding behavior was analyzed experimentally under various unwinding conditions. The experimental device comprises a jig for high-speed camera measurements, control device, and cable unwinding device. Cable behavior was analyzed according to the unwinding velocity and the distance between the fiber package and the point where the fiber was released. In addition, unwinding behavior with respect of the tension acting on the cable was analyzed experimentally by applying the adhesive.
