Estudo de uma empacotadora automática para aramados metálicos

Abstract

This end-of-course work focuses on the study of an automatic packaging machine that meets the specific needs of a company, the main one being to package metal parts automatically, prioritizing productivity, the size of the parts and cost-effectiveness, due to the high cost of buying a ready-made machine. The design process followed the methodology detailed by Norton (2013), starting with the definition phase, where requirements are carefully delimited, and progressing to preliminary and detailed design. In the course of the study, the initial conditions were defined. The selection of materials, such as SAE 1045 steel for the drive shafts, was guided by stress and fatigue resistance calculations. Using AutoCad software, it was possible to model and detail the machine, structuring it into parts. The calculations of the stresses applied to the shaft, as well as the selection of the bearings, bring to the study another more advanced part of the engineering work. Therefore, this mechanical engineering work follows a structured process, focused on details and rigorous technical calculations for structuring a machine that meets the company's specific needs, complying with high safety and precision engineering standards.
