Stretch blow molding machine is used for the manufacturing of PET bottles. The purpose of the Ejector Unit of the Stretch Blow Molding Machine is to pick and eject out the manufactured PET bottles by executing a frequent semicircular cyclic motion of its Rotating Arm. This frequent cyclic motion of the rotating arm creates a large impact load on the shock absorbers of the Ejector unit and causing them to fail in a span of 6 months. The paper attempts to improve the life span of Ejector unit. This is done by reducing the impact load taken up by the shock absorbers, through decreasing the mass of the rotating part by Topology Optimization performed through ANSYS 18.1. The CAD Model of Ejector unit is designed using Solidworks 2018 and the modeled parts of Rotating Arm of the Ejector unit is made to undergo topology optimization by the software supported Optimality Criterion methods. After that their optimal shapes (optimal material distribution) for given loads and boundary conditions are obtained
