Diseño y fabricación de una matriz de corte para producir ángulo ranurado en la empresa Mega Stand

Abstract

The design and construction of a cutting matrix for a slotted angle was carried out to solve the problem that the Mega Stand company has when producing metal shelves. The company acquires this type of angles by purchasing at a high price, therefore which cannot face the competition of this increasingly increasing market, the company has the machinery, but not a matrix for its production. The project was based on research and technical visits to companies that have this type of matrix. After having obtained the necessary information, we proceeded to design each of the components using the parameters established by various authors and adapting them to the dimensions required by the company, subsequently the different types of steel were acquired: ASTM A36, DF2 and AISI 1018 to carry out the necessary machining processes such as: milling, turning, drilling, brushing, boring, etc. For the components that are subjected to friction, quenching and tempering heat treatments were carried out. Finally, tests were carried out on different metal angles of different dimensions with thicknesses from 1 to 2 mm, the latter being the one for which the cutting matrix was designed, determining its operation, and also verifying that it is possible to make the perforations at angles with thicknesses smaller than the designed one, which implies an additional economic benefit for the company.
