Diseño y validación asistida por computadora de una maquina conformadora de perfiles U de dimensiones variables para los sistemas de construcción Steel Framing

Abstract

The objective of this Project is the computer-assisted design and validation of a variable-dimensional U-type profile forming machine for Steel Framing construction systems. Fort he application of this type of construction method, generally in the market, standard profiles are found, which limits the development of structural projects, in view of this the need to implement this design arises, it began with the investigation on the availability of the raw material in the national market, finding a wide range of coils in the DIPAC catalog (supplier of steel products), base don this information and the reviewed bibliographical material, rollers with an external diameter equal to 150 mm were selectes for a productive provision of 12 units per minute, with a length of 2400 mm in length. The mechanical design calculations for all the components of the machine including the design of the bending flower and the selection of the materials were carried out with the help of the specialized software MDSolids and CES EduPack respectively, the digital survey was carried out with a complete assembly of the machine and unión elements in the SolidWorks software, obtaining as a result the final mechanical and structural design. The validation of the formation flower design for each vending stage was carried out with a finite element analysis in the leading ANSYS simulation software, which yielded suitable results for the proposal, the forming forcé of galvanized steel profiles whose value is of9217.584N. The control of the machine was launched with an electronic connection with Elementary features such as on and off, emergency stop and a drive command to make the cut.
