Diseño y construcción de un brazo electroneumático controlado por medio de un PLC Siemens S7-1200 y pantalla HMI.

Abstract

The present project focuses on the current needs faced by students of the Electromechanical career in the area of electropneumatics and industrial control of the Instituto Superior Tecnológico Vida Nueva In which arises the need to implement an electro pneumatic arm mechanism controlled by PLC S7 1200 and HMI display, for didactic use, involving students to develop skills focused purely on industrial processes, whether transport, dosage, classification of any type of material. For the construction of the electro pneumatic arm are used various manufacturing processes such as the design and construction of mechanical drawings, development of electropneumatic drawings, execution of programming in different softwares, but above all the process of assembly of both mechanical, pneumatic and electrical parts in which processes of turning, milling, drilling, welding enters It is this final process where the career of Electromechanics focuses on four fundamental pillars such as Electricity, Electronics and Mechanics. Being an interconnected system with the electrical, pneumatic and mechanical system, it is concluded that the implementation of this semi automatic didactic system in the mechanism of an electro pneumatic arm, dynamizes the learning process, helping to acquire new knowledge that will help the future technologist to develop capabilities focused purely on the industrial area, being a fundamental part of the companies dedicated to the production that moves the country.
