Abstract

Nowadays, the automotive industry is developing rapidly. Vehicle today have played an important role in everyday life. As the driver, time is important in the journey. However, sometimes things go wrong and interrupt the travel plan. Aware of this situation, the manufacturer has supplied equipment to repair minor damages. One of these minor damages that often occurs is a flat tire. However, the equipment supplied requires a lot of energy and take time to manage. Therefore, a special device is designed to reduce human effort and time-consuming during the tire exchange process. This equipment allows all four tires nut to be opened in the same time. However, this product has a weakness which is it can only be to one-size-PCD. So overcome the problem, the study has been made. During this study, PCD sizes between 100mm to 114mm is used as the reference. This product has been designed using CATIA software to evaluate the analysis of data easily. While for fabrication, Gas Tungsten Arc (TIG) welding is used to combine the components of the product. This product has a bright commercial future as a lot of cars with these PCD sizes have been manufactured. Among the cars that can use this product in the future is the Proton Wira, Honda Civic, Nissan Almera, and Mitsubishi Lancer.
