Proses Fabrikasi dan Perakitan Komponen Holder Shock dari Mesin Spin Dry untuk Industri

Abstract

The development of the manufacturing industry has encouraged the use of modern production machinery to improve efficiency and product quality. One of the machines widely used is the spin dry machine, which utilizes centrifugal force in the material drying process. During operation, this machine generates vibrations, requiring a holder shock component to function as a support and vibration damper to maintain machine stability. This study aims to analyze the fabrication and assembly processes of the holder shock component in a spin dry machine and to determine the effect of each manufacturing stage on the quality of the resulting component. The research employed a descriptive experimental method through direct observation of the fabrication and assembly processes, including measurement, cutting, drilling using a milling machine, GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) welding, and finishing. The materials used were stainless steel 304 pipe and plate, along with a compression spring as a supporting component. The results showed that a stainless steel 304 pipe with an initial length of 6000 mm was successfully fabricated into a holder shock component with a final length of approximately ±499 mm, which remained within the design tolerance limits. The GTAW welding process produced a strong joint, although dimensional distortion occurred due to heat input. Overall, the fabrication and assembly processes were able to produce a holder shock component that met functional requirements and was suitable for application in industrial spin dry machines.
