This work describes each of the parameters for the design of a prototype of an
automated machine to make cuts in different types of cheese, in cubic form and
slices. Each mechanical and structural component is designed, analyzed and
calculated, with the implementation of a compression mechanism with power
screw, simulating its operation in the SolidWorks Computer Aided Design (CAD)
program, the equipment and accessories that constitute the control system for the
automation of the prototype are selected, the programming of the Programmable
Logical Control (PLC) in ladder language is carried out. Finally, the operation of
the prototype is demonstrated through modeling and simulation with the use of the
NI LabVIEW Softmotion module that allows integration with SolidWorks, making
the application that involves some components of the prototype and controlling its
movements from NI LabVIEW.
