Diseño y construcción de una máquina para el corte de tubos de cartón de diámetro 2 a 6 pulgadas usados en la industria papelera

Abstract

Currently, the paper mill factory plays a major role in the Ecuadorian industrial sector, since through this sector it contributes to the GDP (Gross Domestic Product), thus generating a boost to the country's economy. Also, it is worth mentioning that this sector has a lower environmental impact, due to the fact that in its production process its waste is not toxic, unlike other processes. Another relevant aspect is the economic aspect, since its raw material is easily accessible. On the other hand, the growth of new technologies has evolved considerably in recent years, contributing to different sectors, such as, for example, the industrial field that is being transformed by industrial automation which allows to increase production, product quality, and have processes or functions that are repetitive, in this way it is possible to control and monitor the process allowing to have fewer failures and improvements in the process, resulting in lower costs and higher income to the company. Knowing these aspects, it is important to promote to the development of the country, since it has a low level of industrial automation, due to the fact that a large percentage of the companies in the industrial sector develop the manufacturing processes manually, thus reducing their market share. For this reason, the following project intends with the design and manufacture of a joint cutter whose diameters range from 2 to 6 in used in the paper industry, reducing their production times, allowing this way to be used in different products of daily use, increasing daily production, reducing waste and maximizing the use of labor. It is also important to highlight that its maintenance will be simpler and low cost.
