Abstract

Temperature measurement system on the manufacturing process of parts has become a smart measurement. This is applied in non-conventional machining processes and on the computer numerical control (CNC) machine. This system measures the temperature of the product during the machining process. Currently, Infrared Fusion using the Fluke Ti400 has been employing to measure temperature during the machining process. This measurement system is smart, only the temperature measurement data cannot link to the computer when the temperature measurement takes place. For this reason, the author conducts research on the measurement of the temperature of the CNC milling machining process on aluminum alloy material using the MLX90614 Infrared Thermometer Sensor which is operated through Arduino. Through this tool, temperature measurement data is directly entered into the computer because the MLX90614 Infrared Thermometer Sensor is compatible and linked to Microsoft Exel through Arduino. Arduino is an electronic device of microelectronic technology widely use with the microcontroller in applications based on the Internet of Things (IoT) in areas of health, agriculture, traffic monitoring, robotics and automation. However, in the field of machining, the use of Arduino based technology is still very limited. This paper presents a work-study on the performance of Arduino based temperature measuring system for milling process applications. Here, Arduino based temperature measuring system was proposed using an MLX90614 Infrared Thermometer sensor to capture workpiece temperature during machining processes where the measurement data were compared with Infrared Fusion of Fluke Ti400. Aluminum Alloy (AA6041) was used as the machining subject in this experiment. Measurement results from both devices showed similar accuracy level with a deviation of only around ± 2 oC. The MLX90614 Infrared Thermometer sensor that is Arduino compatible was designed as the temperature measuring system in the dry milling process for temperature measurement purpose. Temperature measurement using the MLX90614 Infrared Thermometer sensor becomes smart because this device is compatible and linked to Microsoft Excel. This makes it convenient for retrieval of experimental results.
