Diseño y automatización de un sistema de izaje y rotación para tanques cisternas

Abstract

This research work highlights the benefits of automation in improving transportation processes for companies specialized in large volume tanks. This project proposes the design of a board, the programming of the controller and the simulation of the control screen. The main objective of optimizing rotation is to minimize human intervention and reduce execution time, which translates into benefits both in industrial safety and in reducing operating costs in transportation. The research stages were structured in three phases: philosophy, development and vacuum testing. For its execution, high-tech equipment was used, widely used in the industrial sector. In the experimental practice, a beam structure designed to support both the equipment and the product was implemented. In addition, the system allows adaptation to four tank sizes, offering the possibility of operating in automatic or manual mode, having functions that guarantee safety in execution. It is concluded that the simulation is functional; However, for its implementation, it is recommended to corroborate the results and adapt the system to the variations that may arise due to different circumstances.
