Abstract

In the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory of Pasundan University there is a laser engraver machine that is able to perform the gravir process on materials that have a flat surface. The laser engraver has the disadvantage of not being able to do the gravir process on cylindrical workpieces. To overcome this weakness, it is necessary to make a workpiece holder tool specifically for holding cylindrical workpieces. The purpose of this research is to improve the ability of the laser engraving machine, so a rotary fixture model is made on the laser engraver machine. The rotary fixture is directly connected to a stepper motor. The stepper motor is controlled by the axis controller on the laser engraving machine. The rotary fixture has been successfully made and has undergone a testing process. The letter gravir process produced on a cylindrical gravir surface with workpiece dimensions Ø66 mm with a workpiece thickness of 6 mm requires a power modulation of 250 and an engraving speed of 200 mm/min and produces gravir with a letter width of 16 mm, a letter height of 5.50 mm and a spacing distance of 9.50 mm stated with ideal results. In general, the rotary fixture has been successfully made and improves the performance of the laser engraver machine to perform the gravir process on cylindrical workpieces. From the test results it can be concluded that the rotary fixture mechanical sistem can be operated to gravir letters, names, and batik motifs. With the rotary fixture, it is hoped that craftsmen can increase  creativity in carrying out the gravir process using laser engraver.

Abstract

In everyday life, both organic and inorganic waste remain persistent problems, with plastic waste being a significant environmental concern in Indonesia. According to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, the national waste volume in 2021 was estimated at 68.5 million tons. Although most plastics are recyclable, efficient recycling depends on proper size reduction mechanisms. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is one of the most commonly used plastics, and polylactic acid (PLA) is also increasingly applied due to its biodegradable properties. However, there is a lack of comparative studies on blade design performance for shredding different plastic types. This study aims to develop a plastic shredder capable of processing PET, PLA, and their mixtures, and to evaluate the effect of three blade configurations—straight, zig-zag, and wave—on particle size outcomes. Experimental testing revealed that straight blades produced the largest average particle sizes: 5.63 mm for PET and 5.04 mm for PLA. Zig-zag blades yielded the smallest sizes: 4.70 mm for PET and 2.36 mm for PLA. The wave blade configuration produced intermediate results: 5.60 mm for PET and 4.17 mm for PLA. PLA consistently resulted in smaller particles than PET across all configurations. The zig-zag blade design proved most effective for fine shredding, particularly for PLA material. These results highlight the importance of blade geometry in optimizing shredding performance and plastic recyclability. This research provides insights for the development of efficient, small-scale recycling machines tailored to different plastic types and offers a practical approach for reducing plastic waste in local communities

Abstract

The use of crane hooks in lifting operations requires special attention to structural strength and safety factors to prevent potentially fatal failures. This study aims to analyze the strength and determine the Safe Working Load (SWL) of a single crane hook with three cross-sectional variations: trapezoidal, circular, and rectangular. The Finite Element Method (FEM) was applied using SolidWorks 2018, and the results were validated through manual calculations. The material used was DIN 34CrNiMo6 alloy steel with a uniformly applied 5 Ton or 49.050 N load. The trapezoidal section showed the best performance with a maximum stress of 720.44 MPa, deformation of 1.47 mm, safety factor of 1.34, and SWL of 13,573.61 N (1,383.65 kg). The rectangular section produced a maximum stress of 793.64 MPa, deformation of 1.63 mm, safety factor of 1.21, and SWL of 11,965.24 N (1,219.70 kg). Meanwhile, the circular section showed the lowest performance with 1,072.27 MPa of stress, 1.88 mm deformation, safety factor of 0.89, and SWL of 8,701.47 N (887.00 kg). Therefore, the trapezoidal section is recommended as the safest and most optimal design for lifting applications.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the roughness level of a 6061 aluminium workpiece by varying the spindle rotation speed in the milling machine. The results of this study are data on surface roughness obtained through variations in spindle rotation speed during milling. This research uses experimental research methods. Methods that aim to test the effect of a variable on other variables or test the causal relationship between one variable and other variables. The results of this study are presented as roughness test results. The test results using spindle rotation n_1  = 410 rpm; n_2 = 570 rpm; n_3  = 660 rpm. The lowest roughness value occurs at spindle rotation n_3 = 660 rpm, producing an average roughness value of 0.697 µm. The highest roughness value occurs at a spindle rotation of n_1 = 410 rpm, yielding an average roughness of 2.164 µm. Testing at 660 rpm yields smoother results than at 570 rpm and 410 rpm.

Abstract

The DHT22 digital temperature sensor is widely used in environmental monitoring, building automation, and Internet of Things (IoT) applications due to its low cost and ease of integration. However, its measurement accuracy and precision are limited by manufacturing variability, environmental conditions, and component ageing, which can lead to systematic errors. Therefore, calibration accompanied by measurement uncertainty analysis is required to ensure reliable temperature data. In this study, a DHT22 temperature sensor was calibrated using a calibrated digital thermometer as a reference instrument through a direct comparison method at several temperature points within the sensor’s operating range. Linear regression was applied to derive a correction equation, while measurement error and Type A and Type B uncertainties were evaluated to determine the combined measurement uncertainty. The results show that, before calibration, the DHT22 sensor exhibited a temperature-dependent bias, with errors exceeding 1 °C at medium to high temperatures. The application of the regression-based correction significantly reduced measurement errors and improved agreement with the reference values, as indicated by a high coefficient of determination (R² = 0.998). The combined measurement uncertainty was found to lie within a moderate accuracy range and to increase with temperature, with dominant contributions from measurement repeatability and reference instrument uncertainty. Consequently, the calibrated DHT22 sensor can be more reliably employed in environmental temperature measurement applications requiring moderate accuracy.

Abstract

Split-type air conditioning systems are widely used to meet thermal comfort requirements, particularly in tropical regions. The performance of these systems is strongly influenced by the mechanisms of heat transfer and energy conversion occurring during the refrigeration cycle. This study analysed the heat transfer processes and energy conversion mechanisms in a split-type air conditioning system under actual operating conditions. A descriptive–analytical method with a case study approach was employed, involving direct observation, measurement of operational parameters, and technical interviews. The observed parameters included refrigerant temperature and pressure, as well as the performance of the primary refrigeration components, namely the evaporator, compressor, condenser, and expansion valve. The results indicate that cooling in a split-type air conditioner is achieved by transferring thermal energy from indoor air to the outdoor environment, with the assistance of electrical energy converted into mechanical work by the compressor. Each system component was found to play an interdependent role in determining heat transfer effectiveness and overall energy conversion efficiency. Stable operating conditions of refrigerant pressure and temperature were observed to influence system performance significantly. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the operational characteristics of split-type air conditioning systems from the perspective of heat transfer and energy conversion. It may serve as a basis for improving energy efficiency and optimising air conditioning system performance.
