Diseño y construcción de una trefiladora manual para el laboratorio de conformado mecánico de la Facultad de Ingeniería Mecánica (EPN).

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to design and build a manual drawing machine for the Mechanical Forming Laboratory of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (EPN). The objective of the construction of this drawing machine is to provide a tool that helps to strengthen the education of students in a dynamic way, and in turn reinforces the theory, create a didactic understanding about the cold drawing process, in this case in wires used in practices such as low carbon steel, copper, aluminum and ductile materials in general. During the development of this practical and investigative project, the machine design methodology was followed, which allowed to achieve the proposed objective, theoretical information from books, papers and reliable bibliographic sources was used as a starting point to understand the wire drawing process. cold, managing to determine each tool and / or equipment necessary to correctly carry out the process. The methodology of recurrent engineering and the state of science were used as fundamental bases which allowed proposing several viable alternatives with respect to the drawing machine and selecting the optimal alternative. In the tests, the protocol established for this purpose was followed, two types of copper and aluminum wires were drawn and the dimensions were verified after the operation, determining the correct operation of the machine.
