Diseño y Construcción de Equipo para Diagnóstico de Convergencia en Automotores.

Abstract

The present work deals with the design and construction of a team, to diagnose and help solve problems of convergence, in light and semi-light automotive, with a gross weight of up to three tons. It begins by performing a comparative analysis of the implications and consequences due to negative and neutral positive convergences. Then the different characteristics that the team must have are analyzed, so that the different convergence anomalies can be shown and measured. The equipment was designed, which was divided into three stages: mechanical, electrical and electronic. The mechanical stage comprises the structure of the equipment. The electrical stage constituted by the design and construction of a longitudinal movement sensor. The electronic stage consists of a microcontroller which, once the microprocessor has been programmed, performs the measurement process based on the variables: relative displacement and potential difference. The designed and constructed elements are integrated into the equipment, which through a test protocol was evaluated both empty and loaded.
