Diseño e implementación de un sistema de lubricación de mínima cantidad de aceite en el torno EMCO E200 para el mecanizado de aceros de baja aleación

Abstract

In this degree work, a minimum quantity lubricant system was designed and implemented for the lathe of the Salesiana Polytechnic University. The project was carried out based on the characteristics of the system and the lathe. Control of a constant flow rate of less than 100ml/min, a system external to the machinery and easy assembly as the main characteristics of its design. The control consists of controlling a mini peristaltic pump for the lubricant and the passage of air through a solenoid valve that allows obtaining a constant spray of lubricant to the work area. The system is configured experimentally. Cutting parameters are established through the catalog of the work tool and evaluations of the turning are carried out using the Taguchi method to carry out evaluations and analysis of the systems to check their efficiency. The analysis takes into account the surface quality (Roughness) resulting from the turning process. Comparing the quality of the test specimens of the systems allows us to demonstrate that the most efficient system is the MQL system, which allows us to reduce production costs and protect the health of the operator.
