Abstract(s)
A Indústria Automóvel está em constante evolução em parte graças ao seu nível alto de produção e às exigências dos clientes relativamente a garantias de qualidade. Surgem constantemente novas técnicas, equipamentos e produtos. Todos estes necessitam de ferramentas de monitorização e formas de garantia de qualidade adequadas. Cabe à engenharia procurar formas económicas e eficazes de garantir a qualidade dos produtos numa indústria onde a qualidade é considerada dos seus pilares. Assim, delimita-se o trabalho de uma forma geral: assegurar a qualidade estipulada dos produtos durante a produção enquanto se tira o máximo partido dos fatores tecnológicos proporcionados pelos equipamentos utilizados. O trabalho presente trata de pesquisar e aplicar dois equipamentos diferentes (um sensor de forças e um digitalizador 3D) em tarefas de monitorização de produtos. Efetuaram-se estudos pilotos para aferir as capacidades reais dos equipamentos e determinar problemas que pudessem surgir ao escalar o processo para uma produção real de painéis de porta de automóveis. A implementação e os resultados finais estão também descritos neste trabalho que representa não só alguns dos conhecimentos adquiridos do autor durante a vida académica, mas também um estudo real de avanço tecnológico na indústria.
The Automotive Industry is in constant evolution thanks in part to its high level of production and customer demands for quality assurance. New processes, equipment and products are constantly emerging from within it. Said processes and equipment need adequate monitoring tools and forms of quality assurance. It’s up to engineering to look for economically viable and efficient ways of guaranteeing the quality of products in an industry where quality itself is considered one of its pillars. Thus, the work is defined in a general way: ensuring the stipulated quality of the products during production while taking full advantage of the technological factors provided by the equipment used. The present work then deals with researching and applying two different pieces of equipment (a force sensor and a 3D scanner) in product monitoring tasks. Pilot studies were carried out to assess the real capabilities of the equipment and determine problems that could arise when scaling the process for a real production of car door panels. The implementation and final results are also described in this work, which represents not only some of the knowledge acquired by the author during his academic life, but also a real study of technological advances in the industry.
