Diseño e implementación de un posicionador horizontal y circular para soldadura mig en la empresa Indima S.A.

Abstract

In the present project, a horizontal and circular positioner for MIG welding is designed and implemented, which will be used to make weld seams in long sections, either circular or linear, since the company Indima S.A. is dedicated to the manufacture of exhaust systems for vehicles and motorcycles, also in its portfolio of new products is the electric water heater that has dimensions, diameter of 500 mm and length 1200 mm. In the welding area there was no control and no mechanical help to perform this activity, so it is necessary to control torch movements by means of variable speed drives and PLC. Mechanical prototypes were selected for the circular and horizontal movements which were constructed based on commercial positioners.
