Abstract : As grown carbon nanotubes are spun into thread using an innovative mechanism. This method involves simultaneous spinning and drawing. Spun thread is also wound onto a spool as soon as it is formed via simultaneous spinning and drawing. Two separate motors are used for spinning and drawing. The drawing motor also winds the pulled thread onto a spool. The axis of rotation of two motors are orthogonal to each other. At a very low drawing speed the drawing motor runs with jerk imparting impulsive force resulting in disintegration of thread from the array. For continuous production of uniform thread from carbon nanotube array, a magnetic coupling is used with the winding motor. Such carbon nanotube threads have revolutionized material world with their potential applications as structural fibers having sensing capabilities. Keywords - Spinning, CNT, CNT Spun Thread, Black Cotton, MWNT, SWNT, Twisting and winding
