Automatización de la máquina universal de ensayos con interfaz gráfica para la medición de esfuerzos a compresión y tensión en probetas

Abstract

The Antonio Nariño University, Villavicencio, has a prototype testing machine for compression and tension; This machine lacks a programmed sequence that allows it to carry out an automated process, in view of this, the present proposal of degree work was developed thinking of the students of the electromechanical engineering program, so that they can have the study tools such as It is a universal testing machine to which automation focused on the operation of said machine is adapted using a programmable logic controller [PLC] as the main environment, and in turn is complemented with a graphical interface that allows interaction with the user and to carry out the automation, it was necessary to execute 4 phases, which are described in the methodology.
