Simulation of the sequence in CAD of the servo packager TOP22 Hybrid

The project started with the 3D modelling with SolidEdgeST9 for reproduce the rendered sequence operation of the TOP22 Hybrid, a packager machine. All this for giving support material to the technical, marketing and commercial department. To contextualize all this, I have explained the product that comes out of the machine, the bags. I explain the production of the consumable for the bags, the materials of their types and their regulations. I think that this TFG could be summarized in 3 words: efficiency, sustainability and design. It is an efficient project because it is a servo packing machine which uses the electricity and the precise and necessary compressed air to link each operation, thanks to the fact that it incorporates the most efficient control technology that we were able to use. It is sustainable both due to the above-mentioned energetic efficiency and for the product that it makes: a bag and its variants that will fall under the regulations coming into force in 2020. And it is design, due to the esthetic of its covers, parts, actuators, all of them focused on its fundamental function, make bags perfectly formed, filled and closed, but at the same time a robust and compact image with the sensation that it does not compared to any other machine on the market. The esthetic is one of the fields in which I have been allowed to contribute more because esthetics and functionality are not at odds with each other. First, the main objective of the project was that it would be useful tool, both for the company and for myself as a worker. The project should have the maximum possible applications for all departments and not be a linear one, but a project that encompasses engineering, design, sustainability, programming and marketing. It was a challenge for all, but attractive at the same time. I had a team from the project partners and all the technical equipment for the development of new products and machinery of Classpack. I had as well the commercial team showing me the trends of the food market, the fruit and vegetables, giving me the necessary tools to carry out such a project. The second think I speak it’s about the differences about efficiency and technical characteristics of the TOP22, comparing them with the competitors. I would like to explain how the machine works with the continuous tubular preformed solution against the current system. In the market we find that all machines work either with three coils or in an open format. What do we mean by three coils? It means that, to make a bag, you need one coil with the front belt of the bag, one coil with the rear belt of the bag and finally a coil of extruded or woven mesh, according to the format needed. I explained the sequence from the stations, groups and subgroups. I made some animations rendered of each subgroup and I made a rendered animation of the complete sequence. The first thing was to remake all the assembly during my practice period, and after making a single assembly of all parts, the result was the assembly of assemblies. The second thing was to make a global checklist of all pieces that formed the machine both the standardized and the created by the technical department and myself. Once this checklist was made, they were entered in an excel table, dividing them into stations, groups, subgroups and subdivisions, in which degree of freedom they moved. And if they were part of an actuator, which model and length have. Once this division and the final reorganization was carried out, we started assembling each subset of each subset, with its linear and rotating constraints and motors. This operation was repeated in the 7 groups or stations that formed the servo packing machine and I began to create the animation sequences of each subgroup. Finally, I made a general assembly of the whole machine with its subassembly forming a single assembly. All of this was rendered at 25 frames per second in a quality of 1024 x 530 megapixels, to give a realistic photofinish. I made a checklist of problems in the machine day life. The noise was a serious problem affecting staff rotation therefore, the staff rotations were a problem for the organization company; therefore, we decided to use silence servomotors to the long runs and pneumatic pistons where only were strictly necessary. When we pass from having seven stations to three stations, optimizes the sequence thanks to the rotor link. The detection of problems, it was not only detected by the final user, the person that decides about machinery or the person which lead the industrial purchases. They are spending around 1000 L / min, and for that reason we have reduced the air consumption 9 times less applying a hybrid technology using only pneumatic in the strictly necessary mechanisms. With the advance in knowledge of the SolidEdgeSt9, the modelling program I used, I assembled the whole TOP22 Hybrid servo package by interconnecting a total of seven subassemblies within a single assembly
