Diseño y construcción de un sistema automático para la limpieza de los rodillos Anilox mediante un PLC logo V8 Siemens.

Abstract

In this degree project, the design and construction of an automatic system for the cleaning of anilox rollers by means of a PLC Logo V8 Siemens was carried out, which benefited the company Industrias Omega, especially the operators who perform the work manually. The automatic system construction allowed the proposed work and production, obtaining a better cleaning system and improving the operator's protection during his working day. The main objective of the construction of the automatic system for the cleaning of anilox rolls is to reduce the time and sustain the production. The automatic system has a programmable logic controller and a PLC extension module previously configured and simulated with the software Cade Simu and Logo Soft Comfort V8.3, the connection interface is user-friendly to start up the automatic cleaning system. The installation results have been encouraging since the first operational tests were carried out on the automatic cleaning system, not only improving time reduction, but also increasing the planned production and helping to protect the operator's well-being by avoiding accidents when cleaning the anilox rollers manually. In order to build the automatic cleaning system, stainless steel was used for its high durability which will guarantee hygienic conditions and also facilitate its cleaning. The electrical components contained in the cabinet can be found anywhere as it is suitable for any change of components.
