Implementación de un prototipo del sistema automatizado para verificación y control de calidad del montaje de chasis y carrocería en la fabricación de autobuses.

Abstract

The present research aimed to implement a prototype of an automated system for the verification and quality control of chassis and body assembly in bus manufacturing, located in the Industrial Automation laboratory at the Faculty of Informatics and Electronics. For this purpose, a state-ofthe- art verification and quality control review was conducted, and general and specific requirements were defined to meet. For its implementation, as a fundamental part, the programmable logic controller (PLC) from the Wecon company, in addition to the sensors, analog input expansion module, stepper motor, and conveyor belt were also included, a human-machine Interface (HMI)screen was also provided for data monitoring and visualization. Aluminum rails were used for the module structure, and the three-dimensional design was created using SolidWorks software. As a result, the final prototype has been implemented. Furthermore, to validate the system's operation, a survey was carried out with four experienced professionals in the field, who expressed that the prototype is highly useful for people who use it, helping to reinforce knowledge about sensors, programmable logic controllers, programming logic, and electronic systems.
