Reconditioning technology of the mechanism for making cigars in AMF-5000machines

Abstract

The recovery of parts constitutes a process that facilitates the operational return or the functionality of the parts of a certain kind of machinery, to their initial state or very close to the initial state. Companies producing in a continuous cycle, such as cigar producers, have production lines made up of various types of machines, equipment, accessories, etc. This article presents an analysis of the main cause of breakage and the recovery process of the mechanism for the making of cigarette packs of the AMF-5000 machines, at the “Lázaro Peña” Cigar Company in the province of Holguín. Experimentation, technology for the recovery of parts by welding and the finite element method are used in research. The results obtained demonstrate the viability of the proposed solution.
