DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A METAL FORGING PROTOTYPE USING A WHEEL-AXLE SYSTEM AND ELECTRIC MOTOR DRIVE
Keywords:
Electric Motor, Forging, Mechanical System, Productivity, Wheel And AxleAbstract
The increasing demand for metal products in industrial and agricultural sectors necessitates the development of efficient and accessible forging technologies, particularly for small-scale blacksmith industries. Traditional forging methods rely heavily on manual labor, resulting in low productivity, inconsistent output, and high physical strain on operators. This study aims to design and evaluate a prototype metal forging tool utilizing a wheel–axle mechanism integrated with an electric motor to enhance operational efficiency. The research adopts a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE framework, encompassing design, fabrication, and experimental testing of the prototype. Performance evaluation was conducted by comparing the number of hammer strikes generated manually and by the prototype within identical time intervals. The results reveal a substantial improvement, with the prototype producing an average of 64.25 strikes per 10 seconds compared to 25.25 strikes using manual methods, corresponding to an efficiency increase of 154.46%. These findings demonstrate that the proposed system effectively improves productivity, reduces operator fatigue, and provides a cost-effective and practical solution for modernizing small- and medium-scale forging industries.
