INTRODUCTION
The reasons why the project was
carried out are explained as follow. As
students of 5th period it is necessary to
present an integrative project that
allows us to implement our previously
learned knowledge and thus pass the
course.
The company in which we were
allowed to develop our project had the
need to automate its rolling machine
because the manual process to adjust
it to each sheet is slow. In addition,
time is wasted from human resources
in this activity.
The previous works that have been
carried out on the subject have been
those in which we have created and
assembled pieces in the CATIA
software, although it is the first time
that we work with a rolling machine
to the experience and knowledge that
is provided to us, it is important in the
same way for our company to receive
the project as it will help them to have
a higher production speed.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
SMS (Steel Manufacturing
Solutions) is a company dedicated to
the manufacture of the steel, has been
growing for approximately 20 years
and it has been developing and
equipping with better machineries of
manufacture.
The company possesses conventional
machinery and of numerical control,
therefore, there are equipments with
needs of improvement and completely
functionally.
One of the areas of need of
improvement, is the area of laminated,
the conventional roladora of sheets.
This machine possesses the
disadvantage of occupying very much
personally for the adjustment of the
roller of pressure, and therefore, the
time that is invested is great and
varied, depending on the size of the
sheets, for what the proposal of viable 3rd Stage: Implementation of a
solution was to implement a mechanism to facilitate the adjustment
