Abstract

This project is related to the development of design concepts jig (gauge) to assist in the work of quality inspection flat bar using the "Total Design" which includes marketing, product design specifications, concept design, detail drawings, manufacturing, and finally realize the nature and characteristics of products to be made through market research. The objective of this project is to develop the jig flat bar (gauge) by using the "Total Design. Various design activities were employed such as Solidwork 2011. “Total Design" is used to solve problems and get the design by using the "Pugh Method". After that, concept sketches used to generate ideas for the design of jigs (gauge). Concept selection is carried out to identify the most appropriate design concept can be selected as the final draft. By using design software SolidWorks 2011, the final draft is drawn in the form of three-dimensional (3D) and thus produce a 3D prototype using a 3D printer machine. For the expected result, a new design of Flat bar jig (gauge) prototype were developed by using 3D printer machine. Then the prototype was tested effectiveness by using actual flat bar. While, on the results and discussion shows comparison of ranking for selection design, material properties for selection design, finite element analysis, factor that effect the improvement by using go/no go gauge, cycle time comparison between before and after, inspection tools, cost comparison, inspection process and reduce the number of job. To reserve for the future is to use the machine "Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)" process to build a prototype. This is because SLS is one of the best AM engine for producing prototypes with several benefits such as mechanical features better and good surface.
