Mejoramiento de la torre de almacenamiento y elevador neumático para acoplar a un sistema de producción en serie de pallets del laboratorio de automatización de la Facultad de Mecánica.

Abstract

The automated upgrading of the Pallet Storage Tower was achieved in the Laboratory of Automation and Control of the Faculty of Mechanics of the Superior Polytechnic School of Chimborazo, during the improvement was used the deductive method for the selection of equipment: components and electrical, mechanical, pneumatic accessories, To achieve the improvement, were installed: devices that are at the forefront in the industry, of which we highlight, a S7-300 PLC, a luminous beacon, a turntable, sensors, a LOGO!, a TDE Display, which are connected simultaneously working automatically. The operation of the process is done by programming the TIA portal V13 together with the LOGO! Soft Comfort V8. The process starts automatically once the pallet is placed in the Roles Band Station, continues with the assembly of a cube to the Selector Station, then the pallet enters the turntable means of the bands driven by a reducing motor, the pallet is placed on the Lifting Tower actuated by a Pneumatic Lift. At the same time a sensor detects the presence of the element, after programming, the pneumatic elevator raises the pallet to the detected level, so that it is a receipt in the Storage Tower, all this process is visualized in the TDE Display and in the light tower beacon, the siren is activated accompanied by the pilot lights. Performance tests of the entire process were carried out by the respective maintenance, task bank, safety regulations to avoid accidents when handling equipment.
