    Diseño y construcción de un empalmador automático de INNER-LINERS para la empresa Continental Tire Andina S.A., en la ciudad de Cuenca, provincia del Azuay

    The Inner-Liner automatic splicing system of inner- liner, was originated from the need of Continental Tire Andina S.A. to optimize the Roller Head Machine. It produces sheets of unvulcanized rubber with different composition, which shapes the inner-liner. The Roller Head machine works with different compounds the first compound needs to be rolled up and stored until the second compound is ready for splicing. In the current conditions, the splicing is done manually and a modification is required in the machine in order to automate this operation. The upgrade of the Roller Head machine is expected to save around $ 200,000 per year in reprocessed material and calibration times. The project was developed with the initial parameters on the material and its requirements, provided by the company's Laboratory, which allowed the sizing and selection of components according to the needs of this operation. The calculations for the design of the splicing system were complemented using a Finite Element Simulation Software; the existing structure was analyzed statically, while the designed components were also evaluated statically and in modal form to validate their use in this system according to normal working conditions. The traction elements, sensors and conveyors were selected based on the existing inventory in the warehouse of the company, in order to standardize the components and have a stock available in the event of a breakdown. The construction and assembly of this system was based on the hiring parameters of the company, and was therefore permanently overseen by the Project Department of Continental Tire Andina S.A. To comply with the parameters designed in this project and the requirements of this multinational company.
