Development of a Special Service Tool for Hydraulic Piston Maintenance on Excavator PC 210-10M0
Excavators are essential machinery widely utilized in mining, construction, plantation, and other industries. The Komatsu PC210-10M0, a small-sized excavator model, performs critical operations such as material digging and transportation. However, during component overhauls, particularly for the boom cylinder, bucket, and arm, significant challenges arise due to the absence of suitable tools for efficiently removing and installing hydraulic cylinder pistons. The current reliance on generic tools such as screw wrench sets (L-keys) is suboptimal, leading to inefficiencies, increased risks of workplace accidents due to tool slippage, and longer processing times. This study addresses these limitations by employing the Seven Up++ method to develop a specialized service tool specifically designed for hydraulic cylinder piston maintenance. The methodology encompasses three critical phases: Analysis, Solution, and Results, ensuring a systematic and innovation-focused approach. The developed tool securely positions itself on the piston cylinder, utilizing two pins inserted into pre-existing holes on the piston surface. The results demonstrate significant improvements: maintenance processing time is reduced by up to 70%, operational safety is enhanced due to the tool's secure attachment, and labor requirements are halved, with manpower reduced from two operators to one. These findings highlight the tool's potential to optimize maintenance operations and improve overall efficiency in the use of Komatsu PC210-10M0 excavators

Welded joints in machine frame construction are prone to failure due to changes in material properties caused by the influence of heat, as well as the possibility of defects in welded joints. This is especially crucial in constructions subjected to dynamic loads, where the weld joint is a determining factor in the toughness of the material. This study aims to evaluate the microstructure, hardness, and tensile strength by applying variations in welding current in the Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) process. The research method included an experimental approach and literature study with careful observation. The findings of this study include: 1) The welding current strength significantly affected the microstructure arrangement of each tested specimen. 2) An increase in welding current resulted in an increase in the number and density of perlite structures in the Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ). In addition, an increase in welding current also resulted in an increase in hardness and tensile strength values. The average tensile strength successively increased from 90 A, 100 A, to 110 A, namely 320.11 MPa; 345.33 Mpa; 368.6 Mpa. 3) The results of statistical tests using the F-test on the tensile and hardness tests showed values of 0.023 and 0.040, respectively, indicating a significant difference in the hardness testing process with the application of current strengths of 90 A, 100 A, and 110 A. This research contributes to an in-depth understanding of the effect of welding current strength on the mechanical properties of materials, with important implications for improving the reliability of welded joints in machine construction
