Abstract
In this study, it discusses the problems in an automotive manufacturing company. Automotive parts clutch cover is one of the company’s manufacturing products. Height lever checker machine is a machine that used to check the height of the spring sun, contained in the coupling house. This machine consisted of a powerpack, control components and a dial indicator. The problems that occurred in this machine is an increase in demand for home products clutch of 700-900 pieces per day, therefore, it is necessary way to reduce cycle time on the line. One way is by modifying the system checks of the machine height lever dial indicator into the laser sensor. The new machine should be able to reduce the cycle time of 4 sec so the cycle time on the new machine gets maximum of 20 sec. Replacement machine is made consisting of a laser sensor as a tool to check the height of the spring sun previously using a dial indicator. PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) controller system uses Mitsubishi Q series to enter the process and output, HMI (Human Machine Interface) as the display information in the process and as entering the data. These modified machines can reduce cycle time of up to 4 sec so as to increase production capacity and maintain the quality of products produced.
