Didactic use’s CNC winch : Mechatronic Prototype UCCNC01
CNC winch for didactic use is a mechatronic prototype conceived by the Engineering Faculty at “La Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia”, Bogotá’s Campus. The technological process included the following activities: functional analysis, cinematic and dynamic modeling, mechanical design and prototype manufacturing. The sensors, actuators, control and communications systems were also developed, as well as the interface for the processes of pieces’ mechanization assisted by computer. The present article explains the methodology used for the making of the didactic winch, and comments how times’ and costs’ minimization as-sociated with the design and construction of the prototype were achieved. Finally, we present the contribution of diverse skills and engineering technologies, as well as the integration process of subsystems implemented.
