Projeto de um dispositivo para medição automatizada de temperatura aplicada a estação de tratamento superficial da Xerox

Abstract

This work aims to create a logic of programming to be included in a joint project of three students from Course of Mechatronics Industrial Technology. The object in question is to automate the process of surface treatment of Organic Photo Conductor or OPC, one of the products manufactured at unit XEROX of Camaçari - BA. For this prototype, two separate firmware will be developed: a embedded into a carrier of OPC's and other in a fixed station. The first one has the lead role to create a database with the signals from various temperature sensors and then send the information to station fixed. In this, other hardware, developed by the team, have a microcontroller that will receive the database of the process and transfer them to a personal computer of the company. The two programs are different and require a complex knowledge. Timing the two stages of communication is very important because it will provide the reliability and safety equipment. The last stage of the project includes the implementation of a software that receive the database of the process and provide the engineering of this company, for which that information is evaluated. Currently, there is no preventive method to monitor this process of XEROX. The solution to this problem carries on a considerable gain for the company, such as the reduction of downtime for maintenance. An automated equipment for the measurement of OPC's in the process is to impact significant gains in production and in the process.
