Introduction

The Monozukuri laboratory is dedicated to learning, research and development in the dynamic automotive field. Students can do hands-on learning about various automotive components, develop innovative solutions in the automotive field along with its testing process. Some examples include car engines that can be disassembled to study the function of components; analyze engine parameters when in-operation; and learn the drive system, such as braking, suspension and various other components of a vehicle. Students are directly guided by lecturers from ASO college, Japan, who have a lot of practical experience regarding the application of vehicle dynamics concepts for vehicle design with various goals, such as energy saving, emissions reduction, performance improvement, and automatic technology implementation. This laboratory is also equipped with various equipment such as cutting, welding, and bending iron materials for vehicle design and manufacturing activities.


Equipment and Facility

MultiPro welding machine. Welding tools are designed to perform various types of welding in one unit. It allows users to perform different welding methods, such as Metal Inert Gas (MIG), Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG), Manual Metal Arc (MMA), and Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW). This machine is ideal for industrial and workshop environments that require flexibility in welding a variety of materials.

Combustion machine. A type of engine that converts energy from burning fuel into mechanical energy or power. This engine operates on the principle of internal combustion, where fuel is burned in the engine compartment to produce energy. Combustion machines are commonly used in a variety of applications, from motor vehicles to generators and industrial engines.

Seated drilling machine. A drilling tool designed to be used in a fixed and stable position, usually using a table or sturdy base. Seated drilling machines are designed to perform drilling in a variety of materials with high accuracy and often used in metal or wood working.

Bench grinder. A metal processing tool mounted on a workbench and used to sharpen, shape, or polish various types of materials, especially metals. This machine is equipped with two grinding wheels that rotate at high speed, allowing users to perform a variety of maintenance and fabrication tasks with high precision.
