Diseño y construcción de un montacarga eléctrico para instalaciones de almacenamiento reducidas compatible con insumos de ferretería industrial de considerable peso

Abstract

The present graduation project is the implementation of a device aimed at helping and support in the warehouse of FARESA company, particularly in tasks involving heavy lifting and transportation of bolt boxes. These tasks have a high potential for causing injuries to the workers. To achieve this objective, the design and construction of a device is planned, which utilizes sensors, actuators, and a programmed control system to enable optimal load transportation while ensuring user safety. The project addresses the fundamental concepts related to the operation and manufacturing of the device's systems, which serve as the foundation for the project's design. Detailed calculations were carried out for material selection, considering durability, strength, and optimal weight requirements. Additionally, calculations were performed for motor selection, control signal conditioning, microcontroller programming block diagram, and the electronic scheme implemented in the prototype. The manufacturing process was conducted with a focus on material recycling provided by the company. The techniques and procedures used for the construction of each component are detailed, ranging from the structure to the load lifting and mobility systems. Maintenance and spare parts replacement were prioritized in this aspect, following applicable standards and regulations. The outcome of the research and development in this graduation project is a compact electric machine specifically designed to enhance maneuverability in small spaces. It offers an efficient and secure alternative in a market where there are few or no viable purchasing options available.
