DIAGNÓSTICO Y REPARACIÓN DE UN TORNO PARA LA REUTILIZACIÓN DE MATERIALES RECICLABLES EN EL COLEGIO INEM DE TUNJA

Abstract

At the INEM School of Tunja, the limited availability of functional lathes and the accumulation of recyclable materials affect students' technical training. The main objective of this project was to diagnose and repair a lathe from the machine and tools workshop for its use in reusing these materials and to improve students' practical experience. The methodology included a technical diagnosis of the non-operational equipment, the selection of lathe 2 using a decision matrix, and the execution of the necessary mechanical and electrical repairs. A preventive maintenance plan was also developed for the recovered equipment. As a main result, lathe 2 became fully operational, which was verified through operational tests. The maintenance plan was documented. This work increases the equipment available for student practice, provides a means for processing recyclable materials, and serves as a tool for teaching machinery care.
