Prototipe Mesin CNC Diode Laser Cutting 5500 Miliwatt Untuk Pembuatan Produk Kreatif Bahan Akrilik

Abstract

Advances in manufacturing technology in the creative industries began to leave the dominance of the role of humans into automated systems to produce high-quality products. CNC laser machine is a computer-programmed machine used to make a product by cutting, scraping, and engraving. In general, people think that CNC machines are expensive goods. The purpose of this study was to design a prototype diode type CNC laser machine for the manufacture of creative acrylic material products. The research method uses the stages of designing, manufacturing, and testing the performance of a diode type CNC laser machine. The CNC laser machine is designed as cheaply as possible by minimizing self-made components and using standard components such as machine frames using aluminum extrusion, laser using a 5500 mWatt laser diode type, stepper motor as an X, Y, and Z axis. Control software is used by USB CNC controller . CAD software is used by Aspire Vectric and CAM software is used GRBL with Adruino Nano microprocessors. The results of a  Diode Laser CNC machine prototype with dimensions of 450×400×300 (mm); work area dimensions 300×200×35; engine weight 5 (kg). The ability to cut a diode Laser of 5.5 watt CNC machine on black acrylic 3 (mm) with an average time of 0.5 mm/s is the best result. Diode Laser CNC Machine engraving capability of clear acrylic material with dark color paper cover machining time 10 (mm / s).
