A hardness-checking machine is a crucial tool in engineering study, especially in the mechanical and manufacturing process. It usually used to measure, calibrate, and standardize the quality of the product. It is based on the field problem in Akebono Brake Astra Indonesia for using more manual tools to achieve product demands. It is considering those issues, the development of a modified hardness checking tool from manual operation to automatic operation. Using automatic operation is useful in time and savings for other manual tools. The automatic tool applies the 3-axes system mechanism using Festo linear actuator with the servo motor. The testing capacity of automatic devices is equal to more manual devices. The frame of the auto-checking hardness machine is assessed by applying load variations. From the other similar work of auto checking hardness machine, this paper provides the comparison of various aluminum frame types based on different tensile strength and cross-sectional area values. The other analysis is calculating the base plate for hardness testing. There are 9 points of testing to calculate the use of linear guides for the base plate. The results are the excellent value of tensile strength has good results of displacement and maximum stress.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
