Design And Analysis For A New Design Of Bending Arm On Bending Machine

Abstract

This study presents the design produced for the bending arm
component of the bending machine. This study was conducted for
improvements so that the component is more durable and can withstand
heavier loads. In the precast industry, bending machines are very important
to form the material produced for development, which is the building's
bones. Bending arm on this bending machine is an important component to
shape the product produced. Therefore, this bending arm needs to be
improved. With this improvement, the maintenance of the bending arm is
less and thus can save costs for the precast industry. This study was carried
out by giving the idea of some new designs for the bending arm and then
choosing the most suitable bending arm material to maintain the durability of
the bending arm. This study was conducted using analysis in Solidworks
software. Data collection is done by comparing the maximum value for each
material with the yield strength value. This data can be collected by placing a
certain load value for each material. Based on this research, the tool stee l
match with the suitability to be used on the bending arm, this is because the
maximum value of von mises for each load applied to the bending arm is not close
to the high yield strength of the tool steel.
