This research aims to design a pipe cutting machine using an AC servo motor and PLC as a controller based on HMI (Human Machine Interface). The use of AC servo motors is done to maintain accuracy and precision in cutting pipe lengths. This research uses experimental methods which include hardware and software design. PLC LS XGT Series is used to control the pipe cutting machine automatically based on the input signal from the proximity and encoder. Proximity is used to detect the presence of pipe while the encoder is used to detect AC servo motor rotation. By knowing the number of turns of the AC servo motor through the encoder, the length of the pipe can also be determined. The AC servo motor with Mitsubishi HC-KFS43 400W models is used to pull the pipe, gripping the pipe, and moving the cutting machine while a modified AC circle saw motor is used to drive the cutting blade. Based on the results of the study, the cutting machine can cut pipes automatically according to the desired number and length of the pipe. The work process can be monitored and controlled on a computer through HMI.
