RANCANG BANGUN MESIN BELT SANDER DENGAN MEJA PORTABEL

Abstract

The demand for efficient and flexible tools is increasing in the manufacturing industry. The belt sander machine is an important tool in the finishing process. This research focuses on designing and constructing a portable table belt sander machine suitable for diverse work environments. The machine aims to deliver consistent, high-quality sanding results while being easy to transport and use across various materials. The methodology encompasses design, manufacturing, and testing stages. Design involves analyzing technical specifications and requirements, followed by the machine's fabrication according to the finalized design. Post-completion, comprehensive tests assess the machine's performance under varied operating conditions. Key results include a calculated shaft torque of 34.78 N.m and speeds of 368m m/s² for both Pulley 1 and Pulley 2. The belt sander's length measures 575.36 mm. Structural analysis reveals maximum Von Misses stress of 7.8076 N/m², minimum stress of 98.664 N/m², maximum displacement of 0.0559 mm, and a safety factor peaking at 4.041. Expectations are for the belt sander machine with a portable table to exhibit commendable sanding efficiency and mobility. Future research should focus on enhancing design reliability and integrating features like a dust collection system and adjustable belt speed.
