O processo manual de inserção de terminais em conetores para produção de cablagens é um processo complexo, moroso e propenso a falhas e erros. Embora exista uma grande variedade de conetores e terminais, o processo de inserção propriamente dito, segue sempre o mesmo procedimento de execução. Por este motivo, propõe-se nesta dissertação o projeto de um sistema automatizado que visa mecanizar o processo de inserção de terminais em conetores com o objetivo de reduzir o tempo de operação, libertando o colaborador para outras funções, e de melhorar a qualidade final das cablagens por diminuição das falhas decorrentes do procedimento manual. A conceção do sistema aqui apresentado inclui o design da estrutura, desde um esboço inicial ao modelo final, a seleção dos vários elementos atuadores e sensores que o integram, até ao desenvolvimento de um sistema de controlo de posicionamento do manipulador robótico cartesiano do sistema. O sistema de controlo inclui a programação do autómato programável destinado ao controlo, regulação e comando do sistema, assim como do interface homem-máquina e criação do respetivo interface gráfico destinado à monitorização e definição de parâmetros de operação do sistema. É também apresentado um protótipo do sistema de posicionamento, que constitui uma parte do sistema robotizado de inserção de terminais em conetores, de modo a permitir avaliar o seu desempenho na realização das tarefas anteriormente propostas a executar.
The manual process of inserting terminals on connectors for production of wiring harness is a complex process, slow and prone to failures. Although there are a wide range of connectors and terminals, the insertion process itself, always follows the same execution procedure. For this reason, we propose in this dissertation an automated system that aims to mechanize the insertion process of terminals in connectors in order to reduce the operation time, releasing the collaborators for other functions, and to improve quality, decreasing the number of failures from the manual process. The conception of the project includes the structure design, starting from an initial sketch to the final model, the selection of various actuators and sensors that compose the system and the development of a control system of the Cartesian robotic manipulator. The control system includes the programmable logic controller programming for the control, regulation and command of the system, and human-machine interface programming and its graphical interface for monitoring and definition of operation parameters of the system. It is presented a prototype of the positioning system that is part of the robotic system for insertion of terminals in connectors, in order to evaluate its performance in the execution of the tasks previously proposed.
