Automatización de una máquina dosificadora de dos pistones mediante.

Abstract

This work is focused on the automation of a two piston dosing machine by means of a PLC S71200, requiring a contextualization and foundation of the project, where it begins with an analysis and essential research of the bases of the dosing system. This, in order to solve the central problem faced by the company Import Machinery with its volumetric dosing machines, because the inaccuracy in the filling of liquids in plastic containers can affect the quality of the final product and the efficiency of the production process. Currently, filling is done manually, which depends on the technician s experience and can result in errors and variations in dosing. For that reason, this paper highlights the importance of system optimization to increase production efficiency which benefits multiple types of industries at the moment. The cost effectiveness of automatic control is emphasized and dosing systems and their classifications are examined. The specific components of the project, such as mechanical, electrical, and automated, are also described. Process optimization strategies in the industrial area are analyzed, along with the possible benefits they bring according to their use. At the same time, the industrial sectors and the importance of personnel training are discussed so that the optimization processes give positive results within the industry. Finally, a technical analysis of the dosing machine is made in the practical project, including selecting components, programming, and installation where the expected and satisfactory results are obtained.
