- Abstract
The two most common techniques used for fixation and of parts and materials in the industry are mechanical clutches and pneumatic suction cups. These have different characteristics, but generally perform the same function with respect to the displacement of material. The suction cups are noted for being great elasticity, being the best choice when the goal is to arrest or transport brittle materials, for example glass. The purpose of this work is to carry out some tests for lifting ideal parameters for the selection of the handling system loads by using a vacuum suction technology, automotive intended for industrial processes. In these assays will be evaluated first five physical aspects: the optional suction cup material, the air pressure system, roughness and weight of the materials to be handled and the level of vacuum generated by the system. In this work a data acquisition board will be implemented with the integration of the PIC microcontroller family, which will receive information via an analog signal from the pressure transducer, and make it available in an LCD display in order to pressure the system monitor.
