Development and engineering of heat press machine tools

Abstract

Engineering technology for utilizing electrical energy into heat energy or other energy needed by the industrial world is one of the national research master plans (RIRN). This is also in line with the research strategic plan of the State University of Medan which encourages the implementation of research in the field of energy. This research raises the topic of electrical energy utilization and optimization for Hydraulic Heat Press machines. Where the Hydraulic Heat Press machine often experiences Heat Loss due to an inefficient open heating system modeling. This press machine is designed to optimize the heat generated by the Heater against the sample and is designed to produce a Heat Press in a machine with a closed system. So that the process of forming or suppressing the sample becomes better and optimal. Press machines are capable of producing pressures of up to 120 Bar, the heating system of the Press machines is able to heat the sample up to a temperature of 500C and is able to control the constant heat increase, and the Press machine is also able to cool the sample with an efficient cooling system and does not damage the sample due to heat shock. The design of the Hydraulic Heat Press machine starts from the design of the Hydraulic Heat Press, designing the heating element, and designing the cooling system, designing the heating and cooling system control system in the Hydraulic Heat Press Machine Design. Heating control system to regulate the temperature rise of the Heat Press Machine. Before being manufactured, the Heat Press Machine system will be tested simultaneously in order to obtain a Press Machine that is safe, easy to operate, durable and inexpensive. From the results of this study, it is targeted that the output is a calibrated prototype of the heating system and also the pressure system until it is ready for manufacturing.
