Diseño y construcción de un módulo de entrenamiento electroneumático para el laboratorio de automatización industrial de procesos mecánicos (LAIPM)

Abstract

This Project has target to design and build a didactic electro-pneumatic module, which will implement in Laboratorio de Automatización Industrial y Procesos Mecánicos (LAIPM). It was built below methodology of concurrent design, which catheterizes for considering all elements in manufacturing of a product, from conceptual design until availability, and takes account costumer needs. By developing part of design, the project was divided in four parts. Initially, it was defined quality house, which allowed translating user needs to technical specification. Next step, it was to stablish diagram functional. This is a tool which to let divide the principal function to sub functions which were defined as Support, compressed air, control, and circuits. In the third part, it was generated design alternatives for each of modules of previous point. The last point was to evaluate whole alternatives of design, and the conclusion was to build a module, which contain figurative aluminum profiles and an acrylic plate. In addition, this is controlling for a PLC. Obtained the design, it proceeded to manufacture, assemble, attach, and program all module components. Finally, it was done a test protocol, which let to check the adequate function of all components. In conclusion, all part of design, manufacturing, assembly, and programming were made satisfactorily, and it obtained a versatile machine. This model allows configuring not only components position, but also working sequences.
