Projeto de um sistema de dosagem e pesagem para um módulo instrucional didático

Abstract

Most of technology training centers use education strategies as didactic modules to support the learning process. The Manufacturing Laboratory of the Federal University of Pampa - Bagé campus - has a Didactic Instructional Module, developed by students of the production engineering graduation, which simulates an industrial inspection line and which has some automation resources. This work is based on the principle that can be improved by introduction of new functionalities capable of simulating an automatic weighing and dosing system, enabling wide use in the industrial sector. When idealizing an automated system, it is intended to bring it closer to the reality of today's industries. Therefore, the proposal of the work is to design a system to dose and weigh the raw material to incorporate the Didactic Instructional Module and expand functionalities. The purpose is to explore the thematic of automation and allow students, during their training cycle, to view the theoretical and practical knowledge of an industrial scenario. To achieve the objectives, a product development process methodology was used. As results of this work, the development of the project and the phases of the adopted methodology are presented. It ends with the technical drawings and the necessary information for the construction of the dosing and weighing system.
