Abstract

In the tire manufacturing process especially for the tread production process, one of the important things in making tread is parameter like length, width, and height. The width of this tread is very influential on the quality of the tread made; the more accurate the dimensions of the tread made then the quality of the product will be better. The current measurement is done by the manual method that is by using a simple steel roll meter. The possibility of measuring the error in viewing the number on the tools, that the measurement results do not match the actual tread size. This research is the application of a non-contact laser in profile measurement on the extruder machine so it can facilitate the work of employees in controlling the width of the tread. This design uses a Linear Motion Lead Screw Slide Stage (Stroke Actuator, Stepper Motor, and Driver), laser distance sensor and Arduino Mega 2560. In this prototype, the signal from the distance sensor is processed in the microcontroller and sends to the computer to create a curve graph in the computer display. The actual final result of the object profile measurement was provided.
