Perancangan Sistem Otomasi Alat Uji Fatigue Telapak Kaki Buatan Berbasis Arduino

Abstract

The increase in the number of persons with disabilities according to the Ministry of Social Affairsfrom 2003 to 2012 was quite significant, namely 1.76%. From the total data, 10.26% of them are disabled in walking. Due to the large number of foot organ disabilities, there are also great opportunities for prosthetic prosthetic manufacturers. At this time, there are many manufacturers of prosthetic products, but information regarding the quality and durability of these products is still minimal. Fatigue test is one of the tests that can determine the durability and quality of a product. Therefore, in this study, we will design an automation system for prosthetic limb fatigue testing using the Arduino control system. This automation system will be applied in the designed fatigue test equipment. The result of the control system design in this study is that we can adjust the time delay of pressing and the number of counters/knocks on pneumatics. From each foot product, 72,000 cycles have been tested, with a division system into 7 times with each time worth 10,000-12,000 cycles. The obstacles during testing are human error and electrical errors. In the design of this test equipment all electrical systems and actuators can run according to the program sent via the Arduino microcontroller.
