Automatización de una troqueladora y diseño de un troquel para arandelas de cobre.

Abstract

Automation of the die cutter and the design of a die are based on a present need in small and medium enterprises; which aims to improve production, reduction of time, optimizing materials and minimizing hazards in which the operator may be exposed. The research process to determine functionality and the appropriate safety of the machine, it arises from manual die cutters and how dies act in the same, being several flaws and insecure processes when working; that is why, it carries out a general control of the machine using techniques that ensure accuracy, reliability and mainly security to safeguard the integrity of the operator. Whereupon positive results were obtained using simple automatons as: contactors, timers and push buttons; which help systematically to improve the process of obtaining washers, because in one hour it can produce about 1200 washers and this is because each impact of the die cutter could last three seconds. The dies works in a continuous and properly form due to the advance precision of the material (strapping), which is developed by a rocker touch which acts automatically in order to make a clean cut and generate washers of good quality. Thus, it is necessary to use materials with special properties, in which thermally treated ensure a correct performance of the die and punches during the stage work, avoiding a premature wearing thereof.
