    This technical project deals with the design and construction of a concrete cylinder cutting machine for the laboratory of the Civil Engineering Department of the Technical University of Ambato. This project was carried out taking into account the lack of a machine that is static in the first instance because cutting with manual machines presents a high risk of accidents. This equipment is designed as static in order to reduce accidents associated with the use of manual tools and to improve cutting accuracy, a crucial factor for quality testing of concrete specimens. The development of this project was based on previous research, ergonomic analysis, technical standards as well as ASTM C39 for design and functionality verification, among these are main features such as perpendicularity and flatness, highlighting the use of diamond disc of special diameter for cutting cores of 16 cm, 3Hp low speed electric motor and a robust structure of ASTM A36 steel with an anticorrosive coating, prioritizing the ergonomic design of the table ensuring user comfort at the time of use. It included the selection of materials, CAD software assisted design and performance simulations in terms of stresses and behaviors of critical elements, as well as welding joints to ensure a better result at the time of construction, functionality and efficiency improving the quality of cutting and optimization in the time of this, minimizing the risk of students.

    Propuesta de mejoramiento del puesto de trabajo de encalado de la empresa Prodegel S.A., desde una perspectiva ergonómica
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica, 2024-02) Valencia Reyes, Jorge Andrés; Lascano Moreta, Alejandra Marlene
    The company Prodegel S.A., aware of importance of the health and well-being of its workers, has decided to develop an improvement proposal focused on the whitewashing workplace. This proposal has a solid ergonomic basis, recognizing that an adequate design of the work environment can reduce the risks associated with work and enhance employee efficiency and satisfaction. In this project the whitewashing area was redesigned having the basis of ergonomics. To achieve this goal, an action plan divide into three stages was established. The first is the identification of risk factors using an estimation matrix, which allows a preliminary diagnosis of current problems. Subsequently, method LEST was applied for a preliminary evaluation of the ergonomic risks. The INSIGHTS method stands out for its ability to offer detailed insights areas of improvement. Finally, with all the information collected, a design proposal was developed and applied that controls and mitigates the identified risks. This proposal not only seeks to eliminate health threats, but also optimize the performance and comfort of workers. Prodegel S.A. reaffirms its commitment to excellence and an wellbeing workplace.

    Diseño ergonómico y construcción de zancos industriales que cumplan criterios ergonómicos y antropométricos para trabajos a desniveles
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica, 2019) Cuesta Chávez, Michelle Katherine; Lascano Moreta, Alejandra Marlene
    Giving solution to the need of count on a tool that helps workers to execute works on level, as a classic work on scaffolding occupy space that could be better used, without count on limited performance that entails use of these, also the risk of its labor is associated. Through previous researches, was discovered that many countries implement pairs of stilts as a mechanical tool that support works on levels, these stilts have a special design that helps worker to have more stability and could realize its work without difficulties; finding factibility on this solution, it proceeded to considering anthropometric measures on its design, calculation and construction. In this project a population research was made and workers cores, for can take the established measures, these would be tabulated and analyzed with the purpose of getting most appropriate percentile, being these the basis of the design. The material selection depended on costs and availability in markets; calculations was made through design’s books specifications. The pairs of stilts were built on a way to comply ergonomics and anthropometrics criteria with population of workers comfort. With this project was achieved designing and build a pair of stilts that can support a maximum load of 88.02 kg, these have a weight of 6.10 pounds; high safety factors were used on pipes, since it had to be selected from the market, the most critical factor is 5, 41; it helps to understand that pair of stilts would have a longer lifespan.

    Diseño ergonómico y construcción del asiento para un prototipo de auto eléctrico BIPLAZA UTA-CIM17
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica. Carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica, 2018) Intriago Sánchez, Gonzalo Andrés; Lascano Moreta, Alejandra Marlene
    The present technical project prior to obtaining the title of mechanical engineer is based on the "ERGONOMIC DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE SEAT FOR A PROTOTYPE OF SELF-ELECTRIC BIPLAZA UTA-CIM17", by means of which all the guards of the technical university of Ambato to be able to obtain the anthropometric measurements since said measures will be evaluated and the calculation of percentiles will be carried out in order to determine which are the measures of interest or that will help us to design the seat correctly, after obtaining the appropriate measures proceeds to the software design of the seat, to be able to proceed to the simulation of the same to be able to determine the mechanical resistance of the seat under the ECE R14 standard, which will corroborate that the design complies with the minimum safety conditions, finally proceed to the construction of the seat using materials that are certified, for this we have obtained a certificate of flammability of the sponge to be used and also a certificate of homologation of the 3-point retractable safety belt.
