Abstract
The authors are going to design and fabricate low cost composites filament winding machine. Filament winding is a process of laying high degree of fibers for the manufacturing of hollow or majorly cylindrical products with high tensile strength. Filament winding process having the high strength and weight ratio and gives high degree of control over consistency and fiber orientation. The product which produced by this process can be having no need of further matching and labor factor is also less than other molding processes. The filament composite pipes are manufactured with the help of high power fiber and resin by using 2 axes filament winding machine. The purpose of designed and fabrication of filament winding machine for the fabrication of pipes and those specimens which having the round shape. The concept of lathe machine and wet winding method used to design this machine. In filament winding process a single-glass travelling is drawn through a bath of resin which is fixed on the threaded rod by the rotating mandrel. By this process regular winding and good finish is achieved.
