Robot manipulator is a hand robot created for one or more specific functions, having the form of rigid arms connected in series with joints that can move around (rotation) or extend and shorten (translation). There are several types of manipulator robots, one of which is the cartesian robot type. Almost all cartesian type robots use firmware that has been made, such as the GRBL firmware…
Analysis of the structural strength of large electric bus chassis is needed to determine the ability to withstand various loads. This research aims to compare the amount of total deformation, equivalent stress (von Mises), and safety factor between the original chassis material, namely SS400, and the alternative materials SUS201, STKM16A, and ASTM A302 in conditions of straight movement…
A four dof (degrees of freedom) robot arm simulator equipped with a two-finger gripper is designed to determine the movement of the robot manipulator. To make the arm robot simulator, the author uses PLA (polylactic acid) filament material, servo motor as driver and Arduino Uno as microcontroller. PLA filament was chosen because it is lightweight, strong and durable. Arduino Uno was cho…
A fixed wing VTOL vehicle is a combination of a rotary wing and a fixed wing vehicle. It can fly with good efficiency and the ability to take off and land vertically. The ability to fake off and land vertically is due to the additional propulsion system. However, the use of this propulsion system results in increased air dragfrom the auxiliary propulsion system. To overcome this problem, t…
Grilling tools used today generally still use square-shaped wire clamps. The fish or chicken to be grilled is arranged and clamped then placed on top of the combustion chamber and fanned manually. Through this method, uneven roasting results are obtained or charred in certain parts because the combustion chamber is too close. Apart from that, manual fanning also requires special energy …
The sandblasting process is a surface cleaning process which is carried out by shooting particles onto the surface of an object so that friction or impact arises. The aim of making sandblasting with a 5 kg gas cylinder is to obtain sandblastingthat has flexibility so that it can be operated according to the curved shape of the workpiece. / complicated and can be moved. The sand used f…
Many problems that arise in mechanical work in the field are experienced by technical expertsin theirfield, such as fatigue problems (the occurrence of material damage due to repeated loading) which are difficult to predict when they occur, and cannot be seen with the naked eye that in some form materials such as shafts show signs of fatigue fracture, therefore a simple rotary bending fatig…
Pump as Turbine (PAT) is a term that refers to a pump that can also function as a turbin. These pumps can convert fluid flow into mechanical energy when operating as a turbine. This allows the use of the same device to flow fluid to somewhere (as a pump) and generate energy if the flow direction of fluid is reversed (as a turbin) with the type of pump used is a centrifugal pump. The problem of …
This paper presents research on how to reduce or prevent energy loss due to friction. By using several methods to reduce friction between two contact surfaces, one of which is the use or addition of lubricant to the contact surface. This finding emphasizes the importance of lubricants to determine wear values and friction coefficients, where this lubricant provides space between engine elements…
Aerodynamics is one of the important parts of a vehicle because aerodynamics has a major influence when the vehicle is moving at a certain speed. Aerodynamics is influenced by form factors and fluid flow that is in direct contact with the vehicle surface. Aerodynamic drag is caused by the occurrence of a stagnation area at the front of the vehicle through which the fluid flow passes, the drag t…
In the engineering world there are many workmanship processes that can cause friction between machine components. Every moving machine component will definitely cause friction. One of the consequences of friction that occurs continuously is that it can cause damage to engine components, which is called wear. Therefore, lubricants are needed to protect engine components from the wear caused by t…
Threshing rice is an important stage in agriculture, especially in rice production. In its implementation at the research case study site, the community in Siambaton Julu village, Pakkat District, Humbang Hasundutan Regency, North Sumatra generally still uses manual threshing machines which are considered to still need to be developed. The aim is to be able to develop designs for multi-function…
Tribology is a scientific field that studies the interaction of surfaces involving friction, wear, and lubrication in relative motion. Lubrication is one effective method to reduce friction and wear. To minimize the use of environmentally negative mineral oil-based Lubricant, alternative Lubricant sources such as vegetable oils, including palm oil, are utilized. The advantages of palm oil inclu…
The use of electric arc welding techniques with wrapped electrodes (SMAW) in joining rods in steel building construction and machinery involves several parameters that influence the welding results. These parameters include electric current and polarity, welding speed, penetration, as well as other standard conditions such as electrode diameter and type. Various electrode angles, current streng…
Pump as Turbine (PAT) is a term that refers to a pump that can function as a turbine. The pump converts fluid flow into mechanical energy when operating as a turbine. This allows the use of the same device to deliver fluid to a place (as a pump) and generate energy if the direction of fluid flow is reversed (as a turbine) with the type of pump used being a centrifugal pump. Problems regarding e…
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) is a welding technique that uses heat energy to melt the base metal. The heat generated from this process can reach temperatures up to 1,500 °C, which means that each weld area will experience different heating and cooling rates. This study aims to determine the effect of electrode angle variation on the welding results and to identify the welding outcomes on …
The need for energy currently continues to increase, while the availability of fossil energy is decreasing.
