Mantenimiento electrónico y diseño del software en LABVIEW para la automatización de la máquina de impacto Charpy del laboratorio de materiales de la UAN sede Tunja

Abstract

The project entitled "Electronic maintenance and software design in LABVIEW for the automation of the Charpy impact machine of the materials laboratory of the UAN, Tunja headquarters" aims to carry out the characterization and repair of a Charpy impact machine which at the moment it does not work due to some problems and losses in its electronic system, the need arises because mechanical engineering students do not have the tool to perform Charpy type tests. It consists of the revision of the electronic components and their maintenance followed by the development of a software in which data can be obtained from the machine's sensors by means of a National Instruments data acquisition card and visualization and control of the machine in real time through the LabVIEW 2016 program to do Charpy type tests. With the completion of the project, it is concluded that the software developed during this degree work can be used to control the machine and thus carry out Charpy-type impact tests with specimens of different materials.
