Perancangan Model Material Handling Crane sebagai Media Pembelajaran Otomasi Industri dengan Pendekatan Rapid Prototyping

Control system technology has been highly developed where conventional methods change towards automation, especially in a process of repetitive material transfer. This is due to the limited ability of humans to carry out repetitive processes. Crane is one type of material handling that is very often used to replace human functions in the process of repetitive repetition of goods. The purpose of this study is to design a construction, motion system and control system in an automatic material handling crane model, wherein the manufacture uses a rapid prototyping approach and makes a design that is able to meet the eligibility criteria so that tools can be made. In this study the design process begins with a benchmarking process to obtain a description of the design and rapid prototyping approach so that the production process will be faster. The results of this study produced a material handling crane model trainer kit with a motion system using a stepper motor and servo motor, and a control system regulated by Arduino Mega. The design is declared feasible to continue in the manufacturing process after fulfilling the criteria tested. This research is only limited to designation and not all parts can be made using rapid prototyping techniques
