Abstract
This research is a technology development that requires microcontroller-based innovation. The problem currently faced is developing injection molding machines by replacing the drive system in order to get maintenance costs, cheaper repairs and save electricity. The purpose of this study was to apply the microcontroller ATMega128 on a small industrial machine that is an injection molding machine using a dc motor and a stepper motor in the process. The design process starts from machine design, manufacturing of mechanical machinery, electronics and programming. Tests using a mini ammeter-D02A, digital laser infrared tachometer rpm and infrared thermometer. The results of this study adjust the character of the motor used, in accordance with the respective working principles where the stepper motor works on molding that requires accuracy of position and the dc motor works more precisely for the screw press process that does not require accurate positioning of the pressure distance, from the results of motor rpm testing the maximum stepper motor is 93.9 rpm and the maximum DC motor is 132.3 rpm. The result of the power produced by the injection molding machine is 509.1 watts at a temperature of 260 oC, so that this injection molding machine can be used in small industries.
