The diploma thesis presents the design, development, and integration of a thread winding device, aimed at improving the accuracy, repeatability, and speed of the winding process. The methodology included the design and manufacturing of mechanical components, the selection of electronic parts such as DC motors, the L298N driver, and the Arduino UNO
microcontroller, as well as the development of dedicated control software. For integration, an additional sensor was implemented together with relays to align voltage levels in the communication between the device and the FANUC CR-7iA/L industrial robot. The results demonstrated a high level of winding repeatability and reliable operation in cooperation with the robot. The developed solution represents an innovative improvement over existing
winders, as it applies mechatronic solutions to achieve a fully automated thread winding process.
