Análisis y propuesta de un sistema de control semiautomático para la máquina micro-corrugadora de la empresa GRUPASA S.A.

Abstract

The present project refers to the analysis and proposal of a semiautomatic control in the micro-corrugating machine of paper of the company Grupasa S.A (group Papelesa), located in the city of Guayaquil Km 11.5via Daule, Parque Industrial "El Sauce". For the elaboration of this project, the three main units of the machine which is formed by: The Coil lift arms, single Facer unitand the cutting unit were analyzed; Where information was raised, collect data and investigating the equipment that make up the process of micro-corrugated cardboard. Whereit is proposed to optimize and control the process of assembly and alignment of paper rolls or coils in the lift arms unit, through sensors, PLC programmable logic Controller and actuators, programming and simulation were developed where youcan Check the behaviour of the outputs with their respective inputs of the proposed process, using as a basis the mechanical structure already existing in the machine. This proposal complies with manufacturing standards, aims to reduce production downtime, it is concluded that the implementation must be done as soon as possible andare subject to further improvements in the production line of micro-corrugated cardboard in the company.
