Abstract

The lack of proper tourism infrastructure often limits the potential of marine ecotourism. In Karimunjawa, coral reef tourism is a major attraction. However, accessibility remains an issue, especially for visitors who cannot swim or dive. This research focuses on the design and construction of a glass-bottom leisure boat prototype to provide a safe and immersive underwater panorama experience. This study falls within naval architecture and marine engineering, addressing the challenge of designing a stable, efficient, and safe tourism vessel. A key concern in ship design is balancing hydrodynamic efficiency with stability. While monohull boats are common, their transverse stability is relatively low. To overcome this, a catamaran hull configuration was chosen for better stability, larger deck space, and reduced resistance. The prototype was constructed with dimensions of 21.81 m in length, 2.63 m in height, and 7.51 m in width, featuring a glass-bottom viewing area to enhance the tourism experience. Hydrodynamic performance analysis showed an average increase in resistance of 12.39307 N as speed increased, demonstrating the vessel’s efficiency. The construction and testing process confirmed that the catamaran hull improves passenger safety, minimizes capsizing risk, and enhances the underwater viewing experience. This research contributes to sustainable marine tourism by introducing an innovative tourism ride that allows visitors to explore the underwater beauty of Karimunjawa without requiring diving skills. The successful design and construction of this prototype provide a model for future eco-aafriendly tourism vessels.

Abstract

An automatic welding machine is a tool used to carry out welding semi-automatically. The welding process is carried out using an Arduino as a microcontroller and a TB6560 driver as a Nema 23 stepper motor driver. Operation of the tool is carried out using Candle software. The tool movement system uses a lead screw and nut block on the Z axis as well as a timing belt and timing pulley to drive the X and Y axes. This machine has dimensions of 1200 mm long, 800 mm wide and 1250 mm high. The research model used is RnD. Tool testing is carried out by giving movement commands in the form of straight lines and circles to determine the accuracy of the movement, then testing is carried out using a welding machine to determine the welding results. Testing was carried out with variations of straight lines with variations of 18 mm, 24 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm, 36 mm, 42 mm, 50 mm, 75 mm, 100 mm, 125 mm and circle variations of 50 mm, 75 mm and 100 mm. Each variation was tested 3 times to produce an average backlash of 0.250 mm. Automatic welding machine can produce neat and even welds on straight welding, but there are still shortcomings in the results of circular and square welding. Adjustment of welding parameters and settings on the welding machine used needs to be done to improve the quality of the weld results.
