Diseño y construcción de un transportador de carga mediante un PLC LOGO 230RC con controles estacionarios en la empresa NOVACERO SA.

Abstract

This project is based on the need to implement a load transportation system that allows the mobilization of empty load accessories used in the galvanizing area in the company NOVACERO SA, since for this manipulation is used bridge cranes making these lose availability to move loads of materials within the process and this makes them to be affected the productivity of the area, for this has been designed a load conveyor to move these accessories with stationary controls that allow directing the mobility from one place to another by installing selectors that allow the operator to manipulate the equipment automatically or manually, and giving the drives with push buttons according to the direction that is required, also have installed emergency stops in each control button panel and on the main board, when the equipment works automatically were placed limit switches so that after a while these brake when they reach their end, also with the help of a variable frequency drive allows us to have a range of starting speed of 30 Hz for two seconds to get the stable speed of 60 Hz, in the same way the frequency drive will allow us to have a range of deceleration in a time of three seconds for braking, for the automation of the conveyor is used a PLC LOGO 230RC Once implemented the project helped to reduce the return times of the empty accessories to the loading area and has improved the availability of overhead cranes making the productivity performance rises to 3%, it has also been possible to develop an effectiveness and efficiency throughout the process in the galvanizing area.
