Design and development of grass cutting machine using Lucas Hull methodology

Abstract

This paper discuss about the design, development and improvement of the grass cutting machine by using the application of Lucas Hull methodology. The method used for gaining the data was from the reassembled existing grass cutting machine. Design data’s were analyzed by using Lucas Hull method to verify the design efficiency, handling and fitting ratio. The tool that used was TeamSET software. The new proposed design of grass cutting machine drawn using SolidWorks software based on TeamSET result was achieved. Result shown that the design efficiency for redesign grass cutting machine obtained better percentage rather than the existing design. From the study, the total part, handling ratio and fitting ratio of existing design was reduced up to 80%. The improvement of redesign grass cutting machine finally will be able to meet user requirements and satisfactions.
