Even though it is old / old, the existence and existence of Isuzu Panther cars in the 90s are still widely used, this is because in addition to the well-known / tested engine stubborn but also fuel efficient. To maintain the condition of the engine to stay fit, vehicle owners must pay attention to the maintenance of their cars regularly. One engine component that is vital and must receive special care is the Nozzle. The treatment of the nozzle is physical condition checking, cleaning and proper testing. This test is done by giving pressurized fuel to the nozzle, then we observe and analyze how the character of the spray. Testing pressure variations of 90 bar, 100 bar, 110 bar, 120 bar, and 130 bar (range of nozzle working pressure from the factory) using diesel, The characteristics of the fuel spray tested are the length of the spray penetration tip (L), speed spray (v or Uin), spray angle (Ɵ), and large distribution of granules formed at each pressure variation. From the test it is known, at 110 bar testing pressure has the best characteristics, both in terms of spray and the number of grains.

The cutting process in plasma cutting begins with the formation of a pilot arc between the electrode and the workpiece as a result of the electrical ionization reaction of the highly conductive cutting gas. The gas is heated by the pilot arc until its temperature rises very high then the gas will be ionized and become a conductor of electricity. When the gas stream leaves the nozzle, the gas expands rapidly carrying the molten metal so that the cutting process continues. This plasma temperature can reach 33,000°C, approximately 10 times the temperature produced by the reaction of oxygen and acetylene. If this is related to the mechanical properties of the material, where the material has been heated it will result in changes in the mechanical properties of the material in the heating area/around the cutting plane. Tensile testing is the most widely used type of test because it is able to provide representative information on the mechanical behavior of the material. Seeing an incident like this, it is necessary to test the Effect of Plasma Cutting on the Tensile Strength of 'Fe' Materials through a tensile test. Several studies have shown that torch height, amperage and cutting speed can affect material properties. The best tool parameter settings are obtained at a travel speed of 500 mm/min, 75 amperes and a torch-material distance of 3 mm so that these settings are used as a reference in this study. In analyzing the data, the authors compare the results of plasma cutting testing with conventional cutting, in order to know the changes in mechanical properties that occur.

Plasma cutting is a cutting process that is widely used by the metal industry and individuals. Plasma cutting is widely used because it has many advantages, including: Cheap tools and widely sold in the market, low operating costs because they use electric power and compressed air from a compressor, unlike oxyacetylene cutting which requires oxygen, the available tools are more flexible and easy moved. The use of plasma cutting is relatively easy, by setting the machine and then directing the plasma torch to the cutting plane as needed by maintaining a stable movement and height. However, when we are going to make repeated cuts, our concentration and physical power will automatically decrease, so we need a tool that can assist us in directing/regulating the plasma in which the tool functions as a plasma cutting mechanism. Based on this background, the author made a 1 axis plasma cutting torch rail mechanism which is driven by an electric motor, this tool has a workspace/cutting length of 1300 mm, with tool sizes Length, width and height 1950 mm x 300mm x 100 mm. This mechanism/tool ​​can be installed on torches of several brands of plasma cutting, with various bracket speeds that can be adjusted as needed depending on the thickness of the plate being cut, from cutting speeds of 300 mm/minute to 2,000 mm/minute, adjustable cutting height 0 mm up to 10 mm, with a cutting angle setting of 0o to 90o and this mechanism tool can also be used portable / can be moved according to the required work location. Plasma cutting mechanism can be used to make it easier to make straight/horizontal cuts.

Plasma cutting is a method of cutting metal, especially steel, with relatively low cost and effectiveness, with satisfactory results. Where in the cut, it is enough to need a plasma cutting machine/inverter that is quite affordable, widely available in the market, and simple tools, an air compressor (no special oxygen/gas needed as in gas/oxygen and acetylene/LPG cutting), a power source, the material being cut and the cutting process can be carried out. How to use plasma cutting is relatively easy, namely by setting the machine and then directing the plasma torch to the cutting plane as needed by maintaining a stable movement and height. However, when we make repeated cuts, our concentration and physical strength will automatically decrease, so we need a tool that can help us direct/adjust the plasma torch, which is called a plasma cutting mechanism. After paying attention to these needs, a plasma cutting mechanism was designed with a working space/cutting length of 1200 mm, with a tool size of 1400 mm x 300mm x 200 mm length, width and height, estimated cost of Rp. 3,050,000,-, with a cutting speed setting of 100 mm/minute to 1000 mm/minute, a cutting height of 0 to 10 mm with an angle of 0 degree to 90 degree.
