Diseño de un sistema automático de alimentación y extracción de moldes de silicona para joyería

Abstract

This project aimed to design and develop an automated system for feeding and extracting silicone molds in a wax injector for the jewelry industry. The goals were to enhance efficiency, precision, and safety in the wax injection process, ultimately optimizing mold production for jewelry manufacturing. Advanced engineering software was used to simulate and refine the mechanical design, ensuring technical feasibility before physical construction. The automated feeding mechanism was designed to provide a continuous and consistent flow of silicone molds to the wax injector, preventing jams and optimizing production times. The automatic extraction mechanism ensured gentle and precise handling of injected molds, reducing the risk of deformities and defects. The technical and financial analysis demonstrated that the investment in the automated system was highly profitable, with a short-term return on investment expected due to increased productivity, reduced operational costs, and improved product quality.
