Automação de dispositivo de rastreabilidade de peças com sistema a laser

Abstract

This paper presents the development and implementation of an automated parts traceability device with a laser system for marking the parts. The proposal aims to replace the dot-peen traceability method with a system utilizing sensors, a Human-Machine Interface (HMI), and a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) interface, incorporating laser-based traceability to ensure functional reliability in the tracking process. The traceability device will have sensors that will automatically select the program for each part code, then the traceability will be marked, and finally, the parts will be automatically ejected for packaging of the traced parts. Automation will contribute to the reduction of operational costs, maintenance costs, and reliability in scheduling, as well as provide significant gains in terms of quality and speed throughout the production process, minimizing rework and scrap. This work demonstrates the technical study and economic feasibility of the system, reinforcing the importance of automation and its technologies as a strategic tool for increasing competitiveness and reliability in the production sector.
