Abstract(s)
No século XX ocorreu uma explosão no que diz respeito ao desenvolvimento da indústria automóvel. A partir deste momento, o automóvel tornou-se um bem essencial para a sociedade, até aos dias de hoje. Assim, à volta do papel que o automóvel desempenhava na vida das pessoas, gerou-se um dos mais fortes pilares da Economia mundial, a indústria automóvel. Assim, com a evolução, esta indústria criou alicerces que fundamentaram a sua competitividade, tendo como principais objetivos satisfazer as necessidades das pessoas com a máxima qualidade possível, e respeitando sempre os prazos de entrega. Com o crescimento da procura, surgiu uma necessidade de melhorar determinados processos para conseguir atingir a quantidade de produção pretendida. Assim, a automação e a robótica tornaram-se a melhor via para atingir as necessidades do mercado. Com isto, a automação acompanhou esta evolução e, tal como a indústria automóvel, apresenta também uma evolução constante, surgindo, frequentemente, novas soluções para os problemas. As linhas de produção e montagem recorrem cada vez mais aos processos completamente automatizados. Com isto, este trabalho surge em resposta às necessidades de um fabricante de componentes para a indústria automóvel. Nas linhas de injeção de plásticos, a produção é constante e realizada de forma rápida, e para aproveitar essa rapidez, é desejável a realização de etapas de montagem de componentes imediatamente após a saída das peças do molde de injeção. O trabalho consiste na adaptação de uma célula robotizada obsoleta, com o objetivo de no final, esta ser implementada numa das linhas de produção para realizar a tarefa de inserção de componentes nas peças injetadas. Para isto, será dada prioridade sempre que possível ao reaproveitamento de material existente, de modo a fazer o reaproveitamento de material que se encontre fora de uso, mas em boas condições. Os resultados deste trabalho foram bastante positivos. O equipamento foi concluído e encontra-se neste momento em produção, cumprindo todos os requisitos necessários, tendo sido conseguida uma melhoria do tempo de ciclo do processo e diminuição da ação humana no ciclo. É esperado que o investimento efetuado neste projeto seja reavido ao fim de um período de um ano.
In the 20th century, there was an explosion around the development of the automobile industry. From that moment on, the automobile has become an essential asset for society to this day. Thus, around the role that the automobile played in people's lives, one of the strongest pillars of the world economy was created, the automobile industry. Thus, with the evolution, this industry created foundations that based its competitiveness on the main objectives of satisfying people's needs with the highest possible quality and always respecting delivery deadlines. With the growth of the demand, there was a need to improve certain processes to achieve the desired production amount. Thus, automation and robotics have become the best way to meet market needs. Automation followed this evolution, and, like the automotive industry, it also presents a constant evolution, frequently emerging new solutions to the problems. Production and assembly lines increasingly use fully automated processes. Thus, this work arises in response to the needs of a manufacturer of components for the automotive industry. In plastic injection lines, production is constant and carried out quickly, and to take advantage of this speed, it is desirable to carry out component assembly steps that immediately support the output of the injection mold parts. The work consists of adapting an obsolete robotic cell, with the aim of eventually being implemented in one of the production lines to carry out the task of inserting components into the injected parts. For this, whenever possible, the reuse of existing material will be prioritized to reuse existing material that is out of use, but in good condition. The results of this work were highly positive. The equipment was concluded and is currently in production, fulfilling all the necessary requirements and improving the process cycle time and it reduced the human action in the cycle. Is expected as ROI (return-on-investment) one year.
