Abstract

The manufacturing technology has developed rapidly, especially those intended to improve the precision. Consequently, increasing precision requires greater technical capabilities in the field of measurement. A prototype of a 3-axis CNC milling machine has been designed and developed in the Research Centre for Electrical Power and Mechatronics, Indonesian Institute of Sciences (RCEPM-LIPI). The CNC milling machine is driven by a 0.4 kW servo motor with a spindle rotation of 12,000 rpm. This study aims to measure the precision of the CNC milling machine by carrying out the measurement process. It is expected that the CNC milling machine will be able toperform in an optimum precision during the manufacturing process. Accuracy level testing is done by measuring the deviations on the three axes namely X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis, as well as the flatness using a dial indicator and parallel plates. The measurement results show the deviation on the X-axis by 0.033 mm, the Y-axis by 0.102 mm, the Z-axis by 0.063 mm, and the flatness of the table by 0.096 mm, respectively. It is confirmed that the deviation value is within the tolerance standard limits set by ISO 2768 standard. However, the calibration is required for this CNC milling machine to achieve more accurate precision. Furthermore, the design improvement of CNC milling machine and the application of information technology in accordance with Industry 4.0 concept will enhance the precision and realibility.

Abstract

Interest in utilizing new and renewable energy sources, commonly known as bioenergy, has significantly grown in the past decade due to the mounting environmental concerns, such as air pollution, global warming, and ozone layer depletion, resulting from the accelerated consumption of fossil fuels. Biogas, derived from the anaerobic decomposition of organic materials like cow dung, presents a viable solution due to its high methane content and calorific value. This study aims to assess the performance of biogas-fueled generator sets utilizing cow dung as the raw material for biogas production. The generator set employed has a power capacity of 2,500 Watts, and various load variations ranging from 150 to 350 Watts were applied. The parameters measured include voltage, current, biogas discharge, and efficiency. The findings indicate that the generator's output power for the five load variations of 150, 200, 250, 300, and 350 Watts are 150, 226.7, 266, 298.3, and 372.3 Watts, respectively. Moreover, the fuel consumption rates range from 0.013 to 0.009 kg/minute for the 150 to 350 Watts load, respectively. Notably, the 350 Watts loading exhibits the highest efficiency compared to other load variations, with an efficiency percentage of 14.51 %. This research advances our knowledge of the useful uses of biogas in generating systems, where its use is growing.
