Diseño e implementación de un sistema de control para solucionas las deficiencias en el proceso de empaquetado de una máquina empacadora de café de 20 gr, en la empresa Minerva

Abstract

Minerva Company., In order to improve its production process, has decided to automate a coffee packaging machine. This work develops the design and implementation of a control system, to solve the deficiencies in the coffee packaging process in envelops of 20 grams, having as primary objectives to avoid the waste of material and optimize the production times. The project contains the design of the control system based on electromechanical elements such as: contactors, relays, timers, vibrator motor, proximity sensors as well as relevant aspects that influence a packaging process being the types of packing machines and dosage systems; fundamental part of the control system. Also, the proposal of improvement is using a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), centralize the control of the packaging process; Making it more efficient.
