<![CDATA[The blade on the cane cutter machine is the part most susceptible to damage because it operates under dynamic conditions with high impact loads, continuous friction, and rapid rotation. Blade damage on the cane cutter at PG Krebet Baru I is a recurring problem, with replacement frequency reaching six times per milling season. The topic of this research is to analyze the strength of the cane cutter blade at PG Krebet Baru I using ANSYS Workbench 2025 R1 software. The blade strength analysis includes stress distribution, deformation, and safety factor for each load variable using ANSYS Workbench 2025 R1. The limitations of this study include: simulations conducted only on the cane cutter blade under static load conditions, and data used as the basis for the simulation include blade dimensions, material type, and rotation speed of the cane cutter machine at PG Krebet Baru I. The results of the calculations obtained the loads applied for the simulation, namely a minimum load of 5,707 N, an average load of 8,561 N, and a maximum load of 11,415 N. The simulation results of the cane cutter blade showed that at a minimum load of 5,707 N, the Maximum Total Deformation was 0.048 mm, the Maximum (von-Mises) Stress was 22.3 MPa, the Maximum Shear Stress was 12.9 MPa, and the Safety Factor was 11.2. At the average load of 8,561 N, the Maximum Total Deformation was 0.073 mm, the Maximum (von-Mises) Stress was 33.4 MPa, the Maximum Shear Stress was 19.3 MPa, and the Safety Factor was 7.4. And at the maximum load of 11,415 N, the Maximum Total Deformation was 0.097 mm, the Maximum (von-Mises) Stress was 44.6 MPa, the Maximum Shear Stress was 25.7 MPa, and the Safety Factor was 5.6]]>
