Abstract(s)
A produção de componentes para a indústria automóvel é uma atividade com volume de negócios crescente em Portugal, sendo percetível que problemas de quantidade, qualidade, prazo de entrega e competitividade estão definitivamente ultrapassados e as principais marcas da indústria automóvel confiam plenamente nas potencialidades da indústria nacional. Isso implica outras necessidades em termos de equipamento, que deve ser cada vez mais automatizado, de forma a garantir cadências de produção adequadas às encomendas, e garantir os padrões de qualidade entendidos como standard pelo mercado. A produção de cabos de comando para o acionamento de diversos dispositivos em viaturas automóveis tem inúmeros desafios a vencer, os quais têm sido sistematicamente estudados e melhorados. Quando assumem comprimentos mais elevados, como o acionamento do tampão de combustível ou a tampa da mala, os equipamentos de injeção possuem alguns em lidar com esse comprimento excessivo. Este trabalho visou encontrar uma solução para lidar com cabos metálicos de comando com comprimentos grandes, sem que haja necessidade de alocar mão-de-obra ao equipamento apenas para separar os cabos que ficam entrançados uns nos outros. Foi projetada uma solução bastante económica e versátil, que permite a sua aplicação em equipamentos já existentes, melhorando o seu desempenho, assim como em equipamentos novos, onde funciona como um opcional para clientes que têm que lidar com este tipo de situações. Devido ao limitado tempo de realização deste projeto, o mesmo ainda não foi implementado, mas aguarda encomendas efetivas de clientes para ser levado à prática logo que se torne possível.
The production of components for the automotive industry is an activity with increasing business volume in Portugal, where perceived problems of quantity, quality, delivery time and competitiveness are definitely outdated and the main brands of the automotive industry fully rely on the potential of the national industry. This implies other needs in terms of equipment, which must be increasingly automated, in order to guarantee production rates appropriate to the orders, and to guarantee the quality standards understood as standard by the market. The production of metallic command cables for the actuation of various devices in passengers vehicles has numerous challenges to overcome, which have been systematically studied and improved. When they take on longer lengths, such as the fuel cap drive or the trunk lid, the injection equipment has some problems to deal with this excessive length. This work aimed to find a solution to handle metallic command cables with large lengths, without having to allocate manpower to the equipment only to separate the cables that are plaited to each other. It has been designed a very economical and versatile solution, which allows its application in existing equipment, improving its performance, as well as in new equipment, where it works as an option for clients that have to deal with this type of situations. Due to the limited time frame of this project, it has not yet been implemented, but awaits effective customer orders to be implemented as soon as possible.
