in productivity will be achieved through utilization of resources in a better
way. Economy and efficiency are two routes to achieve improvements in
productivity. In this journal paper, designing the Spindle Blade and Aluminium
Plug in the spindle assembly used in Textile Frames have been deliberated by
analyzing the trials conducted on different processes and machine tools for
reducing cost and improving productivity. Conventionally, a copying lathe is
utilized for the manufacture of the spindle blades and the aluminium plugs. In
this journal paper, the design analysis and optimization of spindles have been
attempted through a swaging process. In addition to increasing the
productivity, swaging process also saves considerable amount of material and
labour with increase in tensile strength of Spindles
