OPTIMASI DESAIN DAN PENGUJIAN ALAT PENAMBAL BAN ELEKTRIK
DENGAN PENEKAN TANG BUAYA

ABSTRAK

Di negara ini, bengkel tambal ban telah menjadi salah satu kebutuhan
pokok dalam dunia otomotif. Berdasarkan situasi inilah, banyak orang tertarik
untuk

meneliti

tentang

alat

penambal

ban

yang

pada

dasarnya

mengkombinasikan komponen pemanas dan penekan. Ketertarikan untuk
meneliti alat ini muncul karena selain hal tersebut menjadi kasus yang
menarik, juga dapat menghasilkan peluang untuk menjalankan sebuah lahan
bisnis. Seperti halnya dalam penelitin ini, ketertarikan terletak pada
perbaikan desain menggunakan metode optimasi pada alat yang telah dibuat
sebelumnya. Penelitian ini mempunyai dua tujuan utama yaitu merancang
ulang alat guna meningkatkan keunggulannya serta menguji performa dari
produk yang telah dibuat kemudian mempertimbangkan bagaimanakah bila
produk tersebut diproduksi secara masal. Dua rancangan alat penambal ban
dalam penelitian ini akan dievaluasi menggunakan program Solidworks 2013.
Evaluasi tersebut disajikan dalam bentuk analisis statika struktur. Pada
proses simulasi, kedua desain akan diberikan pembebanan sebesar 200 N,
400 N, 600 N, 800 N, 1000 N dan 1200 N. Variasi beban tersebut digunakan
untuk menunjukkan distribusi tegangan, pergeseran elemen dan factor

keamanan dari produk. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan adanya peningkatan
performa alat dari rancangan sebelumnya. Di lain sisi, biaya produksi alat
juga dilaporkan secara lengkap guna dijadikan sebagai acuan untuk tindak
lanjut yang akan datang.
Kata kunci: alat penambal ban, optimasi, Solidworks, simulasi.

DESIGN OPTIMIZATION AND TESTING OF ELECTRIC TIRE PATCHING
TOOL WITH GRIP PLIERS

ABSTRACT

The tire patching station is become a major need in this country.
Based on this situation, many people are interested to observe about Tire
Patching Tool that basically combines a heating and a pressing component.
The interests to observe this tool are turned up besides it can be a motivating
study, it also provide an opportunity to carry out a business field. Likewise
here, it motivated to optimize the design that has created before using
optimization method. This research has two major aims that are redesign the

better tire patching tool to maximize its benefits and test the performance of
the product and examine the cost if the tool wishes to be mass produced.
Two designs of the tire patching tool in this project will be evaluated using
Solidworks 2013 program. The evaluation is stated in the simulation of on
statics study. On the simulation, both of them will be loaded by 200 N, 400 N,
600 N, 800 N, 1000 N and 1200 N. These load variation are used to indicate
the stress distributions, displacements and safety factors of the product.
Then, the known terms will generate a possibility of fatigue on both designs.
The result of research concludes that there are some improvements of tool
performances. In the other hand the cost of production is also reported so it
can become a reference to do the further works.
Keywords: tire patching tool, optimization, Solidworks, simulation.

given His mercies and blessings so the arrangement of this paper is done
clearly. Secondly may peace and salutation always be given to Rasulullah

SAW who has guided mankind to the era of knowledge improvement.
This final project is become a fulfillment of graduation as a college
student. It will complete the three pillars of college that are, Education,
Research and Dedication for Society. It won’t be finished without any help
and guidance from people that have supported me. Therefore, on this
opportunity the writer would like to say many thanks to:
1. Ir. Sri Sunarjono, MT. Ph.D as Dean of

Engineering Faculty in

Muhammadiyah University of Surakarta.
2. Wijianto, ST, M.Eng.Sc as Head of Automotive Engineering
Department.
3. Agus Dwi Anggono, MT. Ph.D as the first supervisor of this final
project who has given many guidances and inspirations to him in this
research.
4. All lecturers in Automotive Engineering Department who has
motivated the writer along his study.

helped to build the heater.

6. All His classmate in Automotive Engineering 2011 with their
memorable moments.
7. All people who writer can’t mentioned one by one, who has support
the writer to succeed this research .
This paper is contains some data during research session during final
project activities of the writer. It aims to serve the information that gained

ix

from the design, optimization and testing of an electric tire patching tool. The
result of research will affect to realize the further works to gain a better
benefits than this research.
. The maximum effort has been served to realize this papers.
Hopefully, this is useful for everyone that read it and it has a great place in
knowledge improvement.
