Abstract
This research was carried out in the process of making the spring guide grip, which is one of the motorcycle components that serves to protect the shock breaker. Based on production data in August 2020, it can be seen that there is a bottleneck in the flashing process. This is because the flashing process time is smaller than the output in the previous process. The flashing process still uses conventional tools, namely ordinary knives and operator power so that the time is not constant. So this study aims to design a tool for the flashing process to speed up the flashing process time and reduce bottlenecks. The design method is the rational method with the steps of clarifying objectives, defining functions, establishing specifications, determining characteristics, generating alternatives, evaluating alternatives. The design result is in the form of a cutting tools for the flashing process, namely cutting tools using 4 blades that are made like a knife table. This tool serves to cut scrap and scraps of material produced by injection molds. The moving tool uses a pneumatic cylinder component using electric power generated by the compressor. The cutting tools themselves are made practical because they are easy to assemble and the components such as frames are easy to find and care for. Based on the engine simulation test, in one cutting process the tools can cut 4 products at once in 6 seconds. It is faster than the processing time in the machine before the flashing process so the bottleneck is reduced or even non-existent
