Development of an Auto Cupping Machine by Using Arduino Nano Controller

Abstract

ABSTRACT
Auto Cupping Machine is a project machine that had been develop from traditional way of therapy to a modern way of cupping therapy. In the traditional way, cupping therapist use cup, bamboo or horn to do the air suction process. The process before are basically use an environment method to do so such as by using heat method, the therapy will light up some fire inside on the cup and put up on the patient skin to process a vacuum suction. After that, the therapist also use a bottle spray or some cloth like towel or cotton to wipe out the anti-septic liquid on the patient skin. Besides, to make some scar on the skin, the therapist mainly use a blood lancet needle pen or diabetes pen to make it happen and count it as much as it must. But somehow, in this modern area, the ways of process before need to be done to suit up along with the years. This project which is known as Auto Cupping Machine is an innovation of a modern cupping machine which using high technology component. This project is controlled by an Arduino Nano controller which conduct the timing of the cupping process. There are three mainly motor which are vacuum pump, water pump and coil tattoo machine used to complete the cupping process. The vacuum pump is used to do air suction of the skin while the water pump use as a spray pump that contain anti-septic liquid inside from the container. On the other hand, the coil tattoo machine that combine with blood lancet needle pen are used to make a scar on the patient skin for letting blood to came out of it. This project is really a good innovation of alternative treatment for cupping process which can really reduce time of work, prevent skin illness and help reducing the manpower energy for a cupping therapy.
