Modelagem de sistema para prensa pneumática com programação interativa e comportamento adaptável utilizando automação industrial

Abstract

Pneumatic presses have the function of performing the pressing, stamping, punching, bending and embedding of components and parts, thus, it becomes an equipment used in the industrial scope of manufactures. Due to its broad concept, a range of pneumatic press models is generated, with: different manufacturers, specifications and behaviors. This work aims to develop and test a small pneumatic press base model, that is, a 4-cylinder pneumatic press, which is capable of reproducing the behavior of the other models, but with a more compact design and a larger flexibility compared to others. For this, the research was used a Programmable Logic Controller with the function to control the other devices of the system, and a Human-Machine Interface that will serve as an interface for the user to be able to program his behavior and visualize information relevant to the process. To program the system, the Ladder language was used, seeking a complete and robust system, in order to meet all established premises. After the development of the research, a 4- cylinder pneumatic press model was obtained, with a compact design, and capable of reproducing the behavior of the other models presented during the work, as seen in the simulated and practical tests. The developed model brought the application of the main concepts aimed at: compact, for being a model with a slightly smaller physical volume compared to the larger models; versatility, in the sense of being able to replace any of the models presented; practicality, in the segment of being able to do all the existing processes with ease.
