Abstract
Counterweight is one of the exsavator components which acts as a counterbalance to the weight of the exsavator so that it does not roll over when the bucket is carrying the load. The counterweight contains cast material which functions as an additional load, before being filled with cast material the counterweight weighs 3800 Kg and after being filled with cast material the total weight of the counterweight is 16800 Kg. The cast material put into the counterweight is 1300 Kg. The process of filling cast material into the counterweight is still done manually, resulting in delays in the counterweight filling process. The counterweight filling process uses cast materials, namely: iron sand, split stone and cement. The counterweight filling process is currently still carried out manually, resulting in delays in the counterweight filling production process. To speed up and simplify Counterweight Filling, a conveyor is needed to speed up the production process. The design of this tool uses SS400 grade iron plate as a basic material and as a means of transportation it uses an electric winch hoist with a capacity of 1500 Kg. The design and testing of the material strength of this tool uses Autodesk Inventor 2018 software. The aim of designing this tool is to simplify and speed up the production process for making counterweights. By designing this lift conveyor tool, it will be possible to increase productivity in the counterweight filling process so that counterweight production becomes faster.
