Implementación de un equipo CNC didáctico de cuatro ejes, para prototipado, como un apoyo al Laboratorio de CAD CAM de la Escuela de Ingeniería Industrial.

Abstract

The implementation of a CNC Didactic Equipment of 4 Axes for the prototyping parts through the use of software, so that it could be a support for the CAD (computer-aided design and drafting) / CAM (computer-assisted manufacturing) laboratory of the School of Industrial Engineering. By bibliographical research, it was possible to know the correct way to use the machine, the correct assembly, both mechanical and electrical and how to start it without .any inconvenience using the appropriate tools and taking into account machines of similar operation. The software that manages the machine is a post-processor of useful interface that helps the technology of industrial processes. While for the use of the software designs is studied about the compatibility with the CNC of 4 axes, the maneuverability to design and the degree of complexity presented by the design software that the lnstitution owns. lt is concluded that the most complete design program was the NX1O. On the other hand, the ASPIRE program presents greater compatibility with the machine, using a cierno version. The machine in spite of being didactic has a great power that allows to work a prolonged time and therefore to carry out more complex works. At the time of performing the didactic CNC machining to take into account the working limits because the machine does not have limit switches. Finally, it could. cause damage if the initial settings are not set correctly.
