Automatización de un sistema de pruebas para válvulas en el sector metalúrgico

Abstract

"As part of the integral formation of the Santo Tomas University. The work of the graduate allows to strengthen the humanist identity in social life as professional and respond optimally to society with an ethical sense to the "it must be ". Likewise, to be able to respond critically to society based on the principles and institutional values ​​before human relations. Besides the ability to articulate theoretical knowledge with experimental knowledge stands out to produce answers at the service of human life, science and technology. This document represents the information about the degree work in modality internship in the company Instrumentos y Automatismos S.A.S as an institution sponsor. Within its economic activity for 26 years, the organization specializes in marketing electronic instrumentation and equipment for the area automation, in addition to providing engineering services in projects for different industrial sectors such as energy, cement, hydrocarbons, metallurgical, food and manufacturing. Activities as an intern seek solve problems and requirements providing technical support for customers of the organization. From the area of ​​projects and after-sales service. In relation to the above, this text allows to know an industrial problem and the development of a solution through automation for Metacol S.A as organization customer. It also presents information on improvements in the Operation maneuvers of a mechanical valve opening and closing system. To perform repeatability tests on products for fluids such as valves and gates in ductile iron. To solve the problem, Renu Electronics technology is implemented that simplifies automation via a PLC with a graphical interface on a same device, increasing the operational capacity of the worker through technology, reducing dangerous and repetitive tasks to achieve a better performance by the operator in handling the machine through an HMI (Human Machine Interface) application"
