Implementación de una embaladora automática vertical para cajas

Abstract

The main objective of this thesis work, titled Ïmplementation of a vertical automatic packaging machine for boxes,ïs to improve efficiency and safety in the production and transportation of plastic and paper boxes in the packaging process. The system consists of three sections: a rotating base, a film holder tower, and a film holder carriage. The rotating base supports the load that will be subsequently wrapped with stretch film. It consists of a 1.2 m platform and can support a total weight of 400 kg. The film holder tower is the structure that supports the film holder carriage and provides its upward and downward mobility. It is composed of three axes with sprockets and six bearings for the axes. The film holder carriage is made of a 3 mm steel plate and consists of two idle rollers, a rubber-coated tensioning shaft, and a film holder shaft. Finally, several electrical components are used, including end-of-travel sensors located at the upper and lower ends of the film holder tower, a photoelectric sensor at the middle top of the film holder carriage, and a Logo 8 PLC and two frequency converters with a focus on motor control to complete the automation section
