Abstract

This project is applied from observation based on the manual method used now which is to save time when mowing the lawn. The objective of this project produced is to design a machine capable of mowing the lawn in a short time for users who have a suitable home yard. Furthermore, there are several scopes of study that have been set in this project namely, mowing the lawn at a set time, designing machines that work using existing resources and designing tools that are able to compete with existing manual techniques. All these are set to solve some problems that arise with the use of existing methods such as the difficulty of completing the cutting activity in a certain time because the time taken is too long and the safety factor is less because injuries can be caused by stone splashes. The material for this project must also have special characteristics that are not rusty and do not affect the environment and users, based on the literature review conducted steel and aluminium are the most suitable for this project. While for the component formation process, the methodological study is used to plan the project production process by using flow charts as a guide for production planning and project testing. As a result, the whole project was successfully produced with an average time-saving rate compared to traditional methods. Based on these results, the results of the analysis and discussions that have been conducted, it can be concluded that this lawn mower has achieved the objectives that have been discussed. In addition, this tool has also been proven to save time compared to traditional methods.
