DESENVOLVIMENTO DE UMA PRENSA PNEUMÁTICA PARA FABRICAÇÃO E ESTAMPAGEM DE BOTÕES PARA ESTOFADOS

Abstract

he present work consists in evaluating a button production and printing process in a furniture industry. Button embossing is required to assign the finishing of pads, which are traded together with the manufactured upholstery. The main objective of the project is the implementation of a pneumatic system in a company to replace the mechanical press that is currently used for button embossing. The project demands a low financial cost to be implemented, because it is a simple system and for its development, most of the materials to be used are available in the company's warehouse. After its implementation, it will be possible to meet all the needs of the process and consequently, obtain some benefits, such as: ergonomics in the process execution; uniformity of the piece; quality in the product; high production gain and cost reduction. In addition, the project aims to improve the setup and start processes, reduce the physical effort performed by the employee and the waste of raw material that occurs through scrap.
