Abstract(s)
A indústria automóvel caracteriza-se como uma das mais exigentes a nível global. Como tal, a inerente procura por fornecedores que cumpram as suas necessidades ao menor preço, leva a que estes necessitem de encontrar soluções que permitam aumentar a sua competitividade e visibilidade perante a concorrência. Nos últimos anos, este fenómeno tem-se evidenciado na indústria de componentes para automóvel, que tem sofrido enormes desenvolvimentos. O principal desenvolvimento por parte dos fornecedores centra-se na automatização dos processos, que permite uma maior produtividade e qualidade dos produtos fornecidos. A par da competitividade, estes dois pontos são alguns dos pilares para o sucesso dentro da indústria automóvel. É assim fundamental inovar nos processos e equipamentos utilizados na indústria. Esta inovação faz parte de um processo de melhoria contínua que os fornecedores da indústria automóvel procuram adotar na sua cultura empresarial, por forma a manter a competitividade dos seus produtos em evidência. Um dos exemplos onde isto é aplicado é na produção de cabos de comando, onde a automatização tem tido um papel bastante importante na flexibilidade dos processos e na qualidade do produto. Dentro desta família de produtos, os tubos de espiral, um dos componentes dos cabos de comando, têm-se mostrado como um dos pontos que necessita de uma melhoria contínua. Atualmente, o processo de preparação deste tipo de componente é feito de forma totalmente automatizada, o que comprova a importância da automatização. No entanto, a necessidade de fabrico de diferentes referências em lotes relativamente restritos leva a que os equipamentos utilizados se caracterizem pela sua elevada flexibilidade. Através deste trabalho foi desenvolvido um projeto mecânico para a melhoria das máquinas de preparação de tubo espiral, cujo foco é aumentar o número de referências possíveis de fabricar, sem que isto prejudique a qualidade e produtividade do equipamento.
The automotive industry is characterized as one of the most demanding globally. As such, the inherent demand for suppliers that meet the needs of the industry at the lowest price leads them to find solutions that allow them to increase their competitiveness and visibility facing the competition. In recent years, this phenomenon has been evident in the automobile component industry, which has undergone enormous developments. The main development on the part of suppliers is focused on the automation of processes, which allows for greater productivity and quality of the products supplied. Alongside competitiveness, these two points are some of the pillars for success within the automotive industry It is therefore essential to innovate in the processes and equipment used in the industry. This innovation is part of a process of continuous improvement that suppliers in the automotive industry seek to adopt in their corporate culture, to keep the competitiveness of their products in evidence. One of the examples where this is applied is in the production of Bowden cables, where automation has played a very important role in the flexibility of processes and product quality. Within this product family, conduits, one of the components of Bowden cables, have proven to be one of the points of continuous improvement. Currently, the production process for this type of components is done in a fully automated way, which proves the importance of automation. However, the need for manufacturing different references means that the equipment used is characterized by its high flexibility. Through this work, a mechanical project was developed to improve the spiral tube preparation machines, whose focus is to increase the number of possible references to manufacture, without this affecting the quality and productivity of the equipment.
