ABSTRACT

The purpose of this project is to design and analysis of “Multi LED Machine Fixture”
using CAD tools. This project is carried out to create a new machine fixture of cutting
and bending simultaneously for the small electronic industry. This machine has a lot of
advantages which the geometry design machine is not too big and the height is
comfortable at worker‟s sitting and standing position. Otherwise this machine is easily
movable and the design meet quality standard; i.e. machine height and working coverage
competent done by machine.

CAD tools have been used which are COSMOSXpress

and ANSYS. The new fixture has three new main parts which are cover, base and
cutter. The cover is a place to cut and bend the LEDs, the base is to hold the LED and
the cutter function is to cut the LEDs. In addition, the safety factor for base has been
successfully determined as safe part and it is suitable for 2000 life cycle. As a results

new fixture machine has been developed.

ABSTRAK

Projek ini bertujuan untuk merekacipta dan menganalisa sebuah mesin “Multi LED
Machine Fixture” dengan menggunakan perisian CAD. Projek ini dijalankan untuk
menghasilkan satu lagi mesin baru bagi aplikasi potong dan bengkok secara serentak
untuk industri kecil elektronik.

Mesin ini mempunyai banyak kelebihan antaranya

seperti rekaan geometri mesin yang akan dihasilkan tidak terlalu besar dan
ketinggiannya mengikut kesesuaian pekerja sama ada dalam keadaan duduk mahupun
berdiri. Selain daripada itu, produk ini juga adalah jenis mudah alih dan ia direka bentuk
untuk memenuhi piawaian kualiti, contohnya seperti had ketinggian mesin dan liputan
kerja yang mampu dilakukan mesin.
COSMOSXpress dan ANSYS.


Perisian CAD digunakan antaranya ialah

Fixture baru ini mempunya tiga bahagian utama

antaranya ialah penutup, tapak dan pemotong. Penutup adalah tempat untuk memotong
dan membengkokkan kaki LED, tapak pula digunakan untuk menahan LED dan fungsi
pemotong adalah untuk memotong LED. Dalam pada itu, faktor keselamatan pada tapak
adalah selamat dan ianya sesuai digunakan sehingga 2000 penggunann. Keputusannya
mesin fixture baru telah dihasilkan.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

This report described a project on improving multi LED fixture machine in electronic
industry. This chapter explained on the background of project, problem statement,
objectives, scope and report outline.

1.1

Background of Project

Electronics is the study of the flow of charge through various materials and devices
such as semiconductors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, nano-structures and vacuum
tubes. Although considered to be a theoretical branch of physics, the design and
construction of electronic circuits to solve practical problems is an essential
technique in the fields of electronic engineering and computer engineering. This
science starts about 1908 with the invention by Dr Lee De Forest of the valve (triode)
Before 1950 this science was named "Radio" or "Radio techniques" because that was
its principal application. The study of new semiconductor devices and surrounding
technology is sometimes considered a branch of physics.

Malaysia is one of the leading electrical and electronic product exporters worldwide.
Almost 1000 companies in this industry are incorporated in Malaysia. The industry
includes major brands like Panasonic, Sony, Philips and Samsung and local brands
like I, MEC, Khind and Pensonic. The production range includes air-conditioners,
refrigerators, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, electric fans, instant water
heaters, rice cookers, blenders and microwave ovens. Malaysia is also a major
exporter of semiconductor devices, which accounted for over 30% of total electronic
exports in 2000. Malaysia is currently investing in R&D in order to expand its
1

production to include more sophisticated high-end products such as silicon ingots,
polishing silicon wafers, RFID, chip design, digital video disc players, electronic
games, multimedia products and high resolution TFT-LCD and LED plasma
displays.
LED means “Light Emitting Diode” which has been used a lot in electronic industry.
A strip light emitter comprises an LED light-emitting strip composed of a plurality of
LEDs connected continuously in parallel between two conductors that make up
negative (-) and positive (+) electrodes and are disposed roughly parallel to each
other, and strip-shaped synthetic resin that is wider that the LED light-emitting strip
and covers the LED light-emitting strip.

The function of LED as a lamp which can give a signal or warning and not been used
to lighting among area. The LED light-emitting strip can be configured to emit light
from both sides, be covered by a synthetic resin made from strip-shaped transparent
vinyl with half-turn twists, be configured to be flexible by bringing the conductors
close together, be provided with reflective sheets, be configured as a triangular
marker, and be configured a buoyant marker for sea rescue having air pockets.

A fixture is a work holding device, which on the holds and positions the workplace,
but does not itself guide locate or positions the cutting tool (Chapman and Martin,
2006). A fixture is a device for locating, holding and supporting a work piece during
a manufacturing operation. Fixtures are essential elements of production processes
as they are required in most of the automated manufacturing, inspection, and
assembly operations. A fixture is production tool that locates, hold, and supports the
work securely so the required machining operations can be performed (Hoffman,
2004). Fixtures hold the workpiece securely in the correct position with respect to
the machine/cutter during operation (Joshi, 2003).

Multi LED Machine Fixture is one of the projects that used to solve the problem in
cut and bend the LED in the same time. This machine is not only having a variety
function but it‟s also saved a production time and can do the cutting process in good
condition.

The function of the machine is so effective to cut and bend in

2

automatically. Besides that it also safety guarantee and can produce a good quality
product.

On the previous method, the project only used a single LED machine fixture. Means
that it‟s only can produce one LED in one time. As a result this single LED machine
fixture increase a labor cost compared to this new design; multi LED machine fixture
which is yield a higher production rate and can give a better performance.

1.2

Problem Statement

Based on the study and analysis shows that LED cut and bend machine only produce
one LED in one time. The problem from the previous application is waste the
production time and increase the labor cost. The other problem is the operation can‟t
perform well because of LED conductors too small and nearest to each other and
make it difficult to uniform cut.
With this “Multi LED Machine Fixture”, several ideas and design has been
conscientious to improve the fixture application. The fixture design is based on the
safety environment and safety to use.
Furthermore, final element will be done by QFD. It is aimed for producing a better
quality product. In other word, it is a method for introducing quality right from
design stage to satisfy the users.
