Abstract

Repowering work on grinding machines, brake discs, brake drums and engine valves, has as its objective the provision of an active service at the ESPOCH (higher Education), with the aim of supporting the learming process of students, equipping the workshop whith machines that are in good working order and that are suitable for all types of activities relating to experimentation in grinding processes. After a detailed prosess of analysis of the machines in a state of deterioration, it was concluded that the parts and pieces that made up these machines were also in a state of disrepair for various reasons such as lack of use and por maintenance. This led to atherwise effective and valuable machines in the automobile workshop becoming nonfuctioning. Several processes were carried out in order to complete repowering work on the grinding machines and thus achieve a reliability of 99% total functionality for the machines to be used by the technical staff, student and teachers in the Automovile workshop. It is recommended that prior to the appropriate use of the machines, the operation manual and industrial safety plan for the machines be read and that all safety measures taken into account in order to safeguard the physical integrity of all people involved.
