Optimización de los parámetros operativos de una máquina de corte por electroerosión por hilo mediante diseño de experimentos para el incremento de la productividad y la precisión dimensional en la industria metalmecánica.

Abstract

The primary objective of this project is to gather data and assess the current condition of the wire-cut EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) equipment. This involves optimizing predictive maintenance to identify common failures in rotating mechanical systems—such as those caused by misalignment, impact due to wear, improper temperatures, worn pulleys, worn belts, and wear on table guides. It’s also essential to understand the fundamentals of tension and vibration, as well as toque and measurement sequences for each component, in order to collect data on the machine behavior to analyze potential flaws. Furthermore, the project entails an economic analysis and an assessment of the viability and cost-benefit implications of either modifying the existing equipment or acquiring a new unit, while also considering the need for qualified personnel to evaluate, operate, and maintain the machinery. Since various standards and their implementation methods impact machine productivity, the project includes a review of potential benefits and risks. Finally, the implementation of specialized predictive maintenance for the modified systems is proposed to enhance productivity.
