Design and Construction of Pneumatic System Simulation Tool as a Learning Media for Industrial Machine Repair

The technology of industrial machines continues to develop rapidly, especially in the main drive system such as the pneumatic system which is widely used in industrial machines. This must also be balanced with the ability of students to solve their problems. The pneumatic drive system is basically a device that converts air pressure into mechanical work that helps the operating process of industrial machines. The purpose of this study is to design machine components, create a pneumatic work system simulation tool, create a pneumatic system simulation tool to test the tool. The creation of this Pneumatic System Simulation tool is one effective way to help students understand and master the work system and repairs on industrial machines. There are three stages in this research, namely literature study, design and planning, and tool making. The test results show that the pneumatic system simulation tool can work properly and there are no leaks in the valve and air duct. The test is done by applying air pressure from the compressor. The pressure is applied gradually starting from 5 bar and increasing until it reaches 7 (bar).
