Design And Fabrication Of Ball Feeder Mechanism And Body For Tennis Ball Machine

Tennis is the one of the popular sport in the world. In Malaysia, this sport become more popular and grows up rapidly. The lack number of coach cause the people not have a chance to learn and play tennis with the right technique. Apart from using the service of coach, a person can learn and play tennis using tennis ball machine. The problem is the tennis ball machines in the market are selling at high price. To overcome this problem, new tennis ball machine is needed to develop and the cost is lower. In the tennis ball machine, they have ball feeder mechanism. Feeder mechanism is the process that transfer the ball from the ball storage to launcher at one time interval. The project is needed to design and fabricate the ball feeder mechanism and body for tennis ball machine. Beside the ball feeder mechanism and body design, the project is contributed to develop complete tennis ball machine. The specification is determined and the component use like roller, motor, angle bar, plastic or recycle material and power supply like battery. The concept design had been develop from the other design concept. The mathematical analysis of the design mechanism will be carried out. Fabrication is carried out to develop the mechanism and tennis ball machine. Tennis ball machine will do the testing to test the functionality of the mechanism tennis ball machine. The ball feeder mechanism and body for tennis ball machine and also overall tennis ball machine is completely develop.
