Design and development of jack hammer machine for tile laying preparation

Abstract

Construction automation nowadays is highly demand especially in construction industry. The implementation of machines in the construction site can decrease the labor cost and in the same time improve up the project progress. Floor breaker machine is a new idea of construction machine where it will be used to break the floor as a preparation for laying the tiles. This work normally done manually by beating the floor with hammer. It is believe this innovation is still not commercialized in the market and have a wide commercial potential. In this project, a design of the machine will be construct by using Solid Work / CATIA. By using the CAD software, the animation of working machine will be demonstrated. The machine is estimated to work at 12.2 m² per minute An analysis and literature review are made to reveal the technical specification that should have for the machine.
