Rancang Bangun Alat Pemotong dan Pengupas Kabel 2 Sisi Otomatis dengan Diameter Kabel 0,5 – 1,5mm

Abstract

Nowadays industrial world requires equipment that can work automatically to increase productivity and shorten production time. The human need for intelligent equipment that can work automatically is increasing, so that automatic equipment is gradually starting to replace manual equipment. Cable is a material for conducting voltage or current made of copper or aluminum. Cable is coated with outer insulation so that it is not dangerous when there is voltage. Cutting the cable or peeler the cable manually takes a long time to process, especially for the need for large amounts of cable. Therefore, from these problems a cable cutter and peeler prototype was made using the Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller. This system uses a power window motor to control the cutting and peeling pliers in the process and controlling the roller to run the cable. There is the use of LDR sensors to detect cables. The optocoupler sensor is used to count the number of rotation of the roller 1 and 2 which functions to determine the length of the cable and the length of the peeler. In this test, the tool can be used to cut 3 types of cable sizes, namely NYAF (fiber) sizes of 1.5mm, 0.75mm, and 0.5mm with an average error of 7.858%, 3.613%, and 3.613% respectively. And peeler 2 types of cables, namely NYAF (fiber) sizes 0.75mm and 0.5mm with an average error of 9.621% and 2.172% respectively.
