DESENVOLVIMENTO DE EQUIPAMENTO PARA MARCAÇÃO DE UM PRODUTO NÃO CONFORME: rodas liga leve de alumínio no setor automotivo para veículos leves

Abstract

This paper deals with the development of equipment for marking nonconforming products. This approach is due to the fact that a nonconforming product is detrimental to any company that is independent of the follow up, consequently it is something that all companies / industries are aiming to reduce in their process and / or to use the nonconforming product for testing, setups , research among others, because if they do not use the non-conforming product, they must use the conforming one that ends up being non-viable, because to save the product as it should only be used for quality tests to really be sure that the material produced is as planned and ready to be sent to the customer, in this way the idea arises of developing equipment that marks the product, so that the same case returns to the production process or is sent to the customer, both can identify that the product is not in normal conditions of use, and with this the company / industry avoiding to take advantage of the refuse (nonconforming product) utilizes It is the same for tests in all aspects, from the purchase of a new equipment (because it requires the product to evaluate if the equipment is ok to start production) even for internal evaluation / analysis of the materials composed by the product. The purpose of this study is that the company / industry in the automotive industry that produces aluminum wheels can use a nonconforming product and at the same time identify the same, and if it returns to the process or reaches the customer, both can identify that it is not ok. This purpose was achieved through the exploratory research method, based on techniques of production improvements. The study showed the clear need to develop equipment to facilitate the marking of non-compliant products. The equipment will be designed to work directly in the production line, since it is an automatic equipment controlled by PLC and sensors installed in the conveyor belt.
