Construcción de un sistema de refrigeración en procesos de corte, controlado y monitoreado a través de un sistema HMI.

Abstract

To begin the work on the implementation of a cooling system in cutting processes, is related to the need to improve cuts to different steels used in the metalworking industry. For the fulfillment of this objective, we started with bibliographic research to determine the most appropriate system to install, as a result of this, we were inclined to use an HMI system, and complementary accessories such as TFT screen, microcontrollers, Arduino UNO, flow sensor and electric pump, which will be responsible for the transport and storage of the cutting coolant in addition to the use of hydraulic, mechanical and electrical components for the proper functioning of the system. For the design of the cooling system in cutting processes, different types of drawings and electrical and electronic diagrams were developed, for which programs such as Autodesk Inventor, Proteus, Arduino, and FluidSIM were used. All this is related to hydraulics and hydrostatics due to the need to calculate the flow rate delivered by the submersible pump installed in the chamber. Once the construction is finished and after performing operation tests and measurement of variables, it is concluded that the system built offers optimal results in the metal mechanical area, thus satisfying the users needs. Finally, it can be mentioned that automated refrigeration systems with HMI allow increased productivity and input savings.
