Diseño y construcción de una estación de trabajo para el proceso de remanufactura de 6 cartuchos de impresión láser a blanco y negro por hora en la empresa AB Distribuciones ubicada en la ciudad de Quito

Abstract

The present work consists of the design and construction of a work station to be able to achieve the remanufacturing of 6 black and white laser print cartridges per hour in the Company AB Distribuciones located in Quito - Ecuador. Based on the need of the company to improve the work area and the production process, a station was designed and built to help prevent environmental contamination, labor risks and improve operational conditions. In the same way, the semiautomatic work station will increase the production per remanufactured cartridge due to the shorter recharge time, making the operation easier. A study was carried out based on the need to control dust contamination towards the environment, which determined the design of the work station that meets the proposed objectives, achieving a safer work environment, maintaining maximum possible cleanliness in the remanufacturing area and thus be able to guarantee the quality and presentation of the laser cartridge. The sizing of the necessary components for the elaboration of the machine was elaborated, which is conformed by a dust distribution system, the diameter of the dust extractor with its respective filters, the feeding and control circuit, the position of each one of the automation elements that are needed for the easy development of a remanufactured cartridge. With each of these elements, the pertinent calculations were carried out in order to ensure the correct operation and construction of the remanufacturing station.
