Diseño y simulación de un troquel de corte para despuntar platinas de hierro de 3/4 plg por 1/8 plg para la empresa DECORMET

Abstract

The objective of this project is the design and manufacture of a machine specialized in the cutting of iron plates to obtain trimmings, which will be used in the company Decormet. To this end, extensive research was carried out in order to identify the most efficient cutting method for this type of material, thus laying the foundation for the team's development. From this analysis, the sequence of processes necessary for its manufacture was determined, defining the essential components of the machine and selecting the most suitable systems for its optimal operation. Subsequently, a comparative study of three viable alternatives that met the requirements of the project was carried out, evaluating them based on their efficiency and performance. With the optimal alternative selected, the equipment was built, carrying out machining operations such as cutting, turning, grinding and tempering. In addition, the EDM process was applied to the die to achieve a precise punch fit, thus ensuring an efficient die-cutting system. Finally, the assembly and finishing of the machine was carried out, followed by a series of functional tests to verify its operability and compliance with the established objectives. These tests corroborated the precision in the cut and the quality of the trim obtained, ensuring that the equipment responds to the required standards.
