Design of a testing device for a new invented Doctor Blade

This thesis project is about designing and developing an already existing testing device for a new invented Doctor Blade. A doctor blade is a blade used for creping tissue paper of a rotating cylinder, Yankee Cylinder. The old testing device was incomplete in a way that a rotating cylinder was missing, hence the tested blade is not loaded properly. The old testing device already contained the doctor blade holding device and the pulling device (pulling the creping blade). These two devices are transferred to the new testing device without any redesign within them. The adding of a rotating cylinder/roller required some new redesign regarding the testing device.

This book presents my work on devoleping a mechanical testing device for a new invented doctor-blade. The work was mainly about design and mechanical calculations.
