Diseño y construcción de una prensa hidráulica para el achatado de tubos redondos de diámetro 1 pulgada de 2 mm de espesor para la empresa CONSEG

Abstract

The following technical project explains the design and construction of a hydraulic press for round tube flattening of 1 inch and 2 millimeters of thickness, acquiring information of the process, data from suppliers, characteristics of the material and using design principles, tables, manufacturer catalogs and weighing of the different types of hydraulic press. For the weighing criterion in the selection of alternatives, the following characteristics were considered: price, functionality, assemble, maintainability and size, choosing the alternative with the highest score and proceeding with the proper calculations. In the determination of the flattening pressure it was used design and simulation software ANSYS, obtaining a pressure of 12 MPa and choosing a double effect hydraulic actuator for a better control of the process. In the same way, it was decided to use a beam UPN 240 for the construction of the structure, and ASTM A36 plates of 20 mm thickness as main support of the flattening table. Likewise, it was used the maximum tonnage of the hydraulic actuator in the calculations in order to increase de safety factor of the components avoiding any damage or failure in the machine.
