Modernización del sistema de control y de fuerza para la brilladora de ollas de presión Sillem de la fábrica de aluminio Umco S.A.

Abstract

The purpose of this project is the modernization of the Sillem pressure cooker shine in the factory UMCO S.A. The machine had several breakdowns during the year, because the logic of the process depended on electronic cards that could not be repaired in full, the electromechanical elements were obsolete and could not detect a fault easily, the wiring was continuously modified and had no identification, the frequency inverter did not have replacement parts available on the market because the model was discontinued, rotary table motor reducers had frequent mechanical damage. The control board and power unit have been completely replaced. New control elements with modern technology make it possible to diagnose a fault more easily through an HMI interface in which information on different machine parameters such as pot count, times of shining. The logic is handled by a PLC, it has new wiring and its respective on the board marking, the modern frequency inverter is of a known brand that allows to have spare parts and technical service locally, the motor reducers have been replaced by new ones.
