Abstract

Maintaining product quality to meet consumer needs and satisfaction is one of the main goals of every manufacturing company in producing the best products. The author raised the problem of defective products faced by PT Rapid Plast in an inline production involving a printing machine. The print does not adhere perfectly because the product is contaminated with dirt, dust, and liquids when manually moved by the operator. To solve the problem, the author designed an automation solution through a prototype cylindrical pneumatic machine as the drive and the PLC Outseal Nano V5 as the processor component. Functional testing is performed on the prototype to find the resistance of the PLC and mechanical components. The PLC works well for non-stop operation for 30 minutes. Problems were found in the testing of rotary stopper units due to pressure exceeding the requirement. This problem is overcome by reducing the air pressure supply. Prototype efficiency testing was carried out by running 1000 cycles with a 99.1% success rate. A number of improvements such as the addition of bolts and the reduction of the length of the pneumatic pipe are inputs for the proposed design improvements.
