The video titled "Solidworks tutorial: Bottle/Can Twister Conveyor Designing and Motion Study" from the Solidworks Fun channel teaches how to design and simulate a Twister/Inverter Conveyor using SolidWorks.

A Twister Conveyor system is a mechanism used in packaging plants to turn bottles or cans upside down (i.e. from upright to inverted) for the purpose of washing, filling, or labeling.

Summary of the main content of the video: Twister Conveyor
This video is 18 minutes and 54 seconds long and focuses on creating the complex shape of the Twist Guide and simulating its movement:

1. Twister Guide Modeling
Creating a 3D Helix/Spiral: The instructor uses the Helix and Spiral commands to create a 3D curve that has a twisted appearance. [00:20] This line will determine the rotation path of the bottle.

Creating a Lofted/Sweep Surface: Use the profile shape of the bottle/can and use the Lofted Boss/Base or Swept Boss/Base commands .01:40] Using the spiral line as a guide, create a guide piece that is a twisted surface.

2. Assembly
Create a bottle/can model: Create a model of the product to be transported. [04:10]

Assembly: Assemble the twist guide into the conveyor belt structure. [05:30] and place the bottle/can model in the Assembly.

3. Motion Study
Motor and Contact Setting: Set the Motor to the conveyor to push the bottles into the system. [07:00] and set Contact [08:40] Between the bottle/can model and the twist guide surface

Torsion Simulation: When running Motion Study [10:00] The twisting mechanism works by the twisting surfaces exerting a force that causes the bottle to rotate and invert while realistically moving forward.

This video demonstrates the design of a mechanism that involves a twisted surface and the simulation of the interaction between the curved surface and the workpiece in a Motion Study.









1. SolidWorks Motion Study: Design a Twister Conveyor to Realistically Rotate Bottles/Cans 180° Emphasis on the working mechanism (Twister/Inverter) and simulation function (Motion Study) used in packaging system design.
2. SolidWorks Tutorial: Create a Twisted Surface with the Loft Command for Twister Guides Emphasis on complex modeling techniques , especially creating twisted guide surfaces using the Loft/Sweep command.
3. Design Guide: Bottle/Can Inverting Mechanism (Inverter) in a Packaging Plant with SolidWorks Focus on industrial applications to attract target groups working in packaging machinery.
