Abstract

This article discussed the latest and most efficient machine design in rope from mendong. This machine design is multifunctional. There a plenty of available machines but many people were constrained in production process which needed more time because the rope making process went through several steps. The engine work is not maximal, the production of minimal mendong rope. So that the demand for handicrafts from mendong ropes in the market cannot be fulfilled. Setting off from this problem, designing machines with the latest technology with a work system that needs to increase the production of craftsmen and the economic level of the community in Blayu, Wajak District, Malang Regency, Indonesia. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2018.
