Diseño y construcción de una plataforma elevadora móvil para un refractómetro queratómetro de 25 kg mediante el uso de software especializado de modelado

Abstract

The project carried out seeks to satisfy the creation of a machine specifically in the area of occupational visual health, which adapts to the particular conditions of the work environment, since there are machines on the market with different characteristics that do not support real conditions and they are not affordable. Bibliographical studies were carried out on machines dedicated to the lifting and transfer of loads, with this, the requirements of the interested parties were collected, for this the design was evaluated under a weighted and corrected criterion to begin with the sizing and analytical calculation of the loads that must be support the parts of the platform. The structure was then designed using modeling software to apply finite element analysis to simulate loading and safeguard the integrity and function of the platform. As a result, the platform moves the visual machine to different work spaces, without the need to exert excessive direct forces on the visual equipment, providing a stable surface and adding a lifting system to modulate the height between the patient and the refractometer keratometer.
