Automatização de uma máquina dobradeira de arame 2D

Abstract

Automating processes makes them more agile and accurate and consequently favors increased production and greater product standardization. This work presents the automation of a machine that prints two-dimensional drawings with application in metallurgy, which work with the manufacture of wire-based products. The idea arose from the demand of a metallurgical company in the western region of Paraná to automate the wire bending procedure, an essential part of its production process. The built machine allows the user to edit and save up to twenty part recipes that can be generated through a graphical interface with easy operation and monitoring of the manufacturing process. The construction of the machine was simplified through the use of common frequency inverters and squirrel cage induction motors, with a PID control system implemented in the PLC itself, and presented a positioning error of less than 1mm, in addition to being very practical in operation and maintenance.
