Automação do dispositivo de medição de força de corte

Abstract

This monograph is about the mechanical testing device automation, which was developed in an end of graduation course of mechanical engineering by the author himself, the proposal was to develop a low cost device, but with reliable values of it’s measurements. Despite having a satisfactory result, some problems were found due to human manipulation of some device commands, the solution lies in the automation of this device, we may to replace some of it’s components forforfor other electronic components, which are capable of autonomously perform all test steps that were manually manipulated by a user, this guarantees the total elimination of the human factor in obtaining measurements from this device. All these components are directly linked to a new, more robust controller, with an interface where all stages of the test and their measurements and behaviors may be monitored in real time, in a clear and interactive way for the user.
