This work presents the development of a project for an Automatic Aluminum Billet Feeding
Machine, designed to meet the demands of the aluminum profile extrusion industry. The objective is to
provide an automated and reliable solution for the supply of aluminum billets, aiming to improve the
productivity and competitiveness of companies in the sector in a sustainable manner. The methodology is divided into three main stages: mechanical design, electrical design, and ladder programming. In the
mechanical design phase, the physical elements of the machine are dimensioned, ensuring its robustness and operational efficiency. In the electrical design phase, the necessary electrical components are dimensioned and selected, taking into account safety standards and performance requirements. Finally, in the ladder programming phase, the machine control software is developed, responsible for coordinating its operations. The described methods enable the design of a machine capable of meeting the project requirements efficiently and sustainably.
