Control systems modification of loading and unloading in oil filling machine based on programmable logic controller for manufacturing industry

The process of making an engine valve is through a machining process in the machining area. One of the machines in the machining area is a snap gauge machine. This snap gauge machine is used for the engine valve dimension inspection process. In this snap gauge machine, there is a section called the output loader. The existing condition is the low height of the output loader. This causes the operator to bend when carrying out the engine valve. The impact is on the decline of operator morality, especially the enthusiasm and level of operator fatigue at work. Next, we design a mechanism to increase the output loader height so that the inner process runs automatically. The design of the Automatic Output Loader is to automatically increase the output loader’s height. In this Automatic Output Loader it will use PLC as a control, programmed according to the desired working system and use the pneumatic cylinder as an increase in the output loader height. The height of the previous loader was 40 cm, after making this tool it increased to 65 cm and the operator did not have to bend again as before.

This paper presents research conducted at an automotive manufacturing company that manufactures automotive components, including the rear axle. The housing assembly is one part of the rear axle assembly process that serves as a place to put other rear axle components, namely: axle shaft, differential, inner retainer bearings, brakes, drum brakes, and others. A new machine will be designed on the housing assembly production line with a larger capacity, which is 3000 pcs per month. The arc welding by hand machine was designed by adding a motor and an inverter, a pneumatic cylinder as a gripping, a reed switches as a controlling cylinder. The main function of this machine is to connect the upper-lower assembly parts with the housing tube and housing end and to keep the three parts fixed on one axis. If the three connected parts are not on the same axis, it can cause defects in the product. In this paper, we discuss the control system design of the housing assembly arc welding by hand machine using the PLC as its control, and the CC-Link master module which functions as the expand input-output of this machine. With a new machine control design, production targets can be achieved, and product defects have decreased from 0.96% to 0.06%.
