Desarrollo e implementación de un sistema de control automático en la prensa de calor manual de la empresa Marie Sport

Abstract

This technical project was carried out to reduce downtime losses in the transfer process and increase production without having to affect the operators with overwork. It was started based on the design, construction, implementation of the control system and operation tests, for which the main working parameters such as pressure, temperature and time of the transfer process in the sublimation of different types of textiles that the company uses frequently were investigated. Having the theoretical and analytical analysis it was possible to make the selection of the different materials to be used both for the structure and for its automatic control system, so changes were made in the base structure in order to fix the double effect cylinder which helps to raise and lower the iron and also the work table was modified to optimize the dead time in the ironing process, The program and its connections were designed according to the needs of the process being able to control by means of a PLC with the help of the HMI all the transfer process in the different types of fabrics with their respective parameters in the sublimation. The system was built with materials available in the market and have an accessible cost for their respective construction; finally resulting in the production of 47 sublimated garments per hour in Kiana fabric, thus generating an increase in production and improving the quality of work in MARIE SPORT.
