Automatización de una máquina cableadora tubular para trenzado de conductores de 7 hilos de cobre y aluminio de la empresa Ecuacable S.A. en la ciudad de Guayaquil – Ecuador.

Abstract

The purpose of this titling work is to automate a tubular cable braiding machine for 7- wire copper and aluminum conductors from Ecuacable S.A; In order to improve the processes in the wiring area, it will be necessary to replace the conventional Low RPM (revolutions per minute) wiring by a tubular type Wiring that works at high RPM, for this an automated panel will be installed in order to enable electrically and start this tubular machine, optimizing the production of 7-wire conductors made of copper or aluminum, for this purpose, a survey of problem information and a diagnosis of the current situation of the conventional Cable Harness will be carried out. The automation of the Tubular Cable Maker will be proposed to reduce downtime and electrical and mechanical failures, increasing performance and efficiency in the wiring area. The investment costs for the qualification of the Tubular Cable Maker will be exposed. With the automation of the Tubular Cable Maker it is intended to achieve a better performance and operation of the processes in the wiring area, making the operation or manipulation of the machine more didactic, allowing the operator to visualize the operating parameters and faults of the machine. The power circuit is carried out with its proper protections for the main motor, gearbox lubrication pump, cable distributor, winding and hydraulic coil elevator pump. The control circuit will handle the entire process of the electrical equipment of the machine, from the main board, with pushbuttons for starting and an HMI screen connected via Ethernet with a Siemens LOGO for the configuration of the motor speed, cable tension from The winder, together with the activation of the cable distributor (spacer), will also activate the direction of rotation from the screen and the footage of the product to be manufactured on the HMI screen can be displayed right in the box indicating meter. The constant stops of conventional Cableadoras, limit the production capacity of the plant generating a bottleneck for the production of 7-wire cable, so it was necessary to improve the process in the wiring area making a good investment to enable a Tubular machine repowering in all its aspects that produces more rapidly increasing production capacity by 10%.
