Abstrak
Pada mata kuliah konstruksi fabrikasi yang diadakan di Lab Fabrikasi, Teknik Mesin, Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta,
dibutuhkan penyediaan benda kerja berupa pipa berbahan besi dengan ukuran Ø 4” sampai dengan Ø 10”. Pada aktivitas
pemotongan, pipa besi bisa bergeser ataupun berputar sehingga sangat berbahaya bagi operator yang sedang melakukan
pemotongan, terutama jika pemotongan pipa dilakukan dengan menggunakan mesin gerinda. Kondisi batu gerinda yang
bulat dan pipa besi yang berbentuk silinder, akan beresiko membuat mesin gerinda ataupun pipa besi tergelincir.
Penggunaan gergaji juga dirasakan kurang efektif dan efisien karena membutuhkan banyak tenaga dan waktu [1]
Berdasarkan hal tersebut, peneliti menciptakan Horizontal Gas Cutting Machine sebagai alat pemotong pipa besi. Metode
penelitian yang digunakan dalam pembuatan mesin adalah Research and Development (R&D). Pada rancang bangun
mesin ini dilakukan dalam lima tahap yakni tahap analisis kebutuhan, desain, implementasi, pengujian dan pemeliharaan.
Figure kerja pada perancangan mesin menggunakan aplikasi autodesk inventor. Proses produksi pada mesin meliputi
pembuatan rangka, casing, penyangga pipa, assembling dan pengecatan. Hasil yang dicapai adalah terciptanya mesin gas
cutting untuk pemotongan pipa besi yang mampu memotong pipa dengan cepat, menghasilkan potongan pipa yang rata,
memiliki fitur cutting torch dan mudah dioperasikan.

Kata kunci: Autodesk Inventor, Fabrikasi, Gas Cutting, Pipa Besi, Research and Develompment.

Abstract
In the fabrication construction course held at the Fabrication Lab, Mechanical Engineering, Yogyakarta State University,
it is necessary to provide workpieces in the form of metal pipe with sizes Ø 4“ to Ø 10". In cutting activity, metal pipe
can shift or rotate, so that it is very dangerous for operator who conduct the cutting activity, especially if the pipe cutting
activity is conducted using a grinding machine. Due to the condition of a round grinding stone and a cylindrical iron
pipe, the case will run the risk of making the grinding machine or iron pipe slip. The use of saw is also less effective and
less efficient due to it requires a lot of effort and time [1]. Based on the problems, researchers created the Horizontal
Gas Cutting Machine as a tool for cutting iron pipe. The research method in the manufacture of machine used Research
and Development (R&D) method. The machine project is conducted in five steps, such as needs analysis step, design,
implementation, testing and maintenance. Working drawings on the machine design using Autodesk Inventor application.
Production process on the machine includes making frames, casing, pipe support, assembling and painting. The result
achieved is the creation of a horizontal gas cutting machine for cutting metal pipes that is able to cut pipes quickly,
produces even pipe pieces, has cutting torch features and is easy to operate
.

1. Introduction condition of the round grinding stone and the

In the fabrication construction course held at
the Fabrication Lab, Mechanical Engineering,
Yogyakarta State University, it is necessary to
provide workpieces in the form of iron pipes with
sizes of 4” to 10”. As for the practical
implementation of these courses, the pipe provided
must be cut to the required length.
The pipe cutting activity is actually not a
difficult activity, but care is needed in order to
produce good cutting results and is also safe for the
operator who conduct the cutting activity. Because
basically a cylindrical iron pipe has a fairly
slippery surface. When cut, the iron pipe can shift
or rotate so it is very dangerous for the operator
who is doing the cutting, especially if the pipe
cutting is done using a grinding machine. The

cylindrical iron pipe, will be at risk of making the
grinding machine or iron pipe slip. The use of saws
is also felt to be less effective and efficient because
it requires a lot of energy and time [1].
Based on the problem, the researchers
created a Horizontal Gas Cutting Machine as an
iron pipe cutting tool that is able to cut pipes
quickly and quickly, can cut pipes with a size of 4”
to 10” and can cut pipes in accordance with K3
(Occupational Safety and Health) procedures. This
machine uses oxy acetylene gas as the cutting
medium and has a cutting torch feature that can
create a bevel angle on the pipe piece that can be
adjusted to an angle of up to 45º.
The cutting process with the application of
gas cutting or commonly called oxy acetylene
(cutting oxy-acetylene) has often been applied to

industrial thermal cutting processes because it can
easily and quickly cut thicknesses from 0.5 mm to
250 mm, the equipment is low in cost and can be
operated manually. or mechanic. This cutting
occurs because of an oxidation reaction between
oxygen and acetylene with the steel to be cut which
will then produce a flame process during the
cutting process which then bursts of oxidation [2].
This machine has a cutting torch feature that
functions to mix acetylene and oxygen and mix the
mixed gas output into the mouth of the burner. On
the cutting torch (welding torch) there is a valve or
gas outlet regulator, while on the cut cutting torch
there is an additional feature in the form of a cutting
gas valve [3].
In the horizontal gas cutting machine, there
are three types of flame that can be used. The first
type of flame is a carburizing flame, this type of
flame has a higher acetylene gas pressure than
oxygen gas pressure. Furthermore, the second type
of flame is neutral, in this type of flame the
pressure of acetylene gas and oxygen has a
balanced level. And the last is the type of oxidation
flame where the oxygen gas pressure is larger [3].
a) Preparation of the program accompanied by a
mechanical engineering lecturer.
This preparation was conducted at the
Mechanical Engineering Department, Faculty
of Engineering, Yogyakarta State University.
b) Preparation of tools and materials.
Prepare tools for creating machines, i.e. ruler
roll, angle ruler, scraper, pin, hand grinder, file,
MIG welding, wire brush, welding hammer,
drilling machine, twist bits drill, protractor,
vise, spray gun, c clamps, hammer rubber and
hydraulic plate cutting machine. The materials
for making the machine prepared include an
electric motor, ST 37 eyser plate, chuck, and
angle iron (L) 50x50x4mm.
