Abstract(s)
A indústria automóvel consome quantidades enormes de pequenas peças e conjuntos, as quais são produzidas nas mais diversas empresas e nem sempre da mesma forma. De qualquer das formas, a qualidade e o preço são os requisitos mais importantes, assim como o prazo de entrega.
Os estofos para os automóveis incorporam igualmente uma série de acessórios, os quais exigem uma diversificada quantidade de processos industriais para os realizar. Para lém disso, exige ainda um cuidado fluxo de materiais entre os diferentes processos, o
que nem sempre é fácil de conseguir.
Os equipamentos de dobrar arame são algumas das máquinas mais utilizadas para o fabrico de componentes para estofos automóveis. Atualmente existem equipamentos este género que produzem arames com formato 3D de forma muito expedita. No entanto, a extração e organização destes arames para as operações seguintes nem sempre é fácil.
Este trabalho teve como principal objetivo criar um equipamento acessório que permita recolher e orientar os arames já conformados, preparando-os para a operação seguinte, em que, na maior parte dos casos, irão ser sobre injetados com plástico.
O trabalho insere-se num pedido realizado pela empresa PR METAL, S.A., com vista a posterior implementação do projeto na empresa FICOCABLES, S.A.
Pretende-se assim, otimizar o fluxo de um produto (arames) entre duas fases de produção e ao mesmo tempo libertar mão de obra para tarefas mais motivadoras e enriquecedoras para os operadores, tornando-se numa mais-valia para a empresa.
The automotive industry consumes massive amounts of small parts and assemblies, which are produced in several different companies using different processes and methods. Anyway, quality and price are the most important requirements, as well as the delivery time. Car seats incorporate a series of accessories, which require a big amount of industrial processes for their fabrication. In addition, a careful material flow between the different processes is still required, which is not always easy to achieve. Equipments to produce bent wires are one of the most common machines used for the manufacture of components for car seats (cushions and suspension mats). Currently, equipments are available that produce wires with 3D format very expeditiously. However, the extraction and organization of these wires for the following operations is not always easy. This work had as main objective to create auxiliary equipment that can collect and guide he previously conformed wires, preparing them for the next operation, in which, in most cases, they will be over-injected in plastic injection machines. The work is part of a request made by the PR METAL, S.A. company, with a view to further implementation of the project in the FICOCABLES, S.A. company. The aim is optimize the flow of a product (wires) between two phases of production and at the same time free up labor for tasks that are more motivating and enriching for the operators, making it an added value for the company.
