Mesa XY para oxicorte-customizada

Abstract

In this work will be presented the design, development and construction of a table with movement on two axes. It's a cursor that can go a plan. The main application of this machine is cut sheets in the process of Oxyacetylene Welding, but can easily be adapted to the plasma cutting process. These plate cutting processes are typically done manually, which causes irregularities and inaccuracies, and a long preparation time and cutting. Therefore there is a need for automation of this process to increase productivity. There are many machines on the market for sheet metal cutting, but for some small companies the price is not affordable. The structure of the equipment has been SAE 1020 steel. Moving the machine axes is done through pulleys and belts synchronized. Drive alignment were used linear guides. Two stepper motors are used as actuators to enable the movement of the axes. Plates were developed electronic actuation of these engines. The user control is done through the program kcam. In this program the user enters a dimensional CAD drawing to the machine following a path cut.
