Making Automatic Unloading Tools on the Goodway GV-500 Machine

Abstract

To increase profit, every company must make an improvement or innovation, both in the form of system and machine. Improvement in the machine usually by modifying the machine to be automatic, cycle time faster and revive the unused machine. In this case one form of improvement to do is reduce the handling time operator in line machining, especially in line BD6 which produces brake drum D80N. One of the machines that have a high time handling is Goodway GV – 500 machine which we an OP 4B machine in line BD 6. To reduce handling time operator on the Goodway GV - 500 machine then be made automatic unloading tool or in Japanese is called hanedashi. Hanedashi is a device mounted on the machine and automatically eject the product when the operation of the machine has been completed. Hanedashi operators do not need to carry out the process of unloading the material into the machine. With this instrument of automatic unloading, the operator handling time in Goodway GV – 500 machine has been down to 4 seconds from 12 seconds and increase the productivity of the line BD 6. With increasing line productivity BD 6 makes profit of the company increased.
