The clothes folding machine will be built and designed is to fulfill the routine duty of folding clothes since this activity is generally a demanding task for most people, therefore it’s a good idea to develop a machine that can lessen the effort and time necessary in folding clothes. Not only that, this machine also will be less expensive and more affordable than other clothing folding machine on the market. This machine is an example of a semi automatic system that blends mechanical and electrical control systems. The machine will be created to serve the common people, particularly housewives so its design fully represents the manual method of folding clothes, specifically following the steps of folding the sleeves, folding the bottom of the shirt, and finally attempting to flip the shirt to its upper face on the way of providing it to the controller. Shirts were chosen as the first sample that the machine mechanisms were developed to fold.
