Diseño y automatización de una máquina ensambladora de válvulas de gas.

Abstract

Due to the complexity in the manual production processes in the assembly of valves for liquefied petroleum gas tanks, it has been chosen to carry out the design of an assembly machine for LPG valves and its automation, this machine will be able to adapt to the accelerated production rate that factories demand due to higher consumption of LPG in most ecuadorian homes. In the first place, this type of machine was investigated for similar production processes, in addition to all the necessary parts for the correct design of this assembly machine, which will be able to adapt to the requirements established by potential customers. Additionally, a simulation of the design of the machine was carried out according to the assembly, sub-assembly and workshop plans to check its proper operation and based on this it was verified that a good design had been made for the manufacture of this machine. Likewise, a costing was carried out for the manufacture of this machine. Finally, the automation for its operation was carried out, in order to reduce the manual workload, and increase the productivity of the number of valves for liquefied petroleum gas tanks.
