Este artículo presenta el proceso de reconversión y automatización de una máquina de termoformado por vacío, de una sola estación y de operación manual, partiendo de un diagnóstico con el cual se identifican los componentes, capacidades y operación de los sistemas y su accionar como conjunto; se facilita elaborar el rediseño de los sistemas mecánico y neumático y el diseño de los sistemas térmico, eléctrico y de control, para la fabricación, ensamble y puesta a punto. Con la termoformadora automatizada fue posible el funcionamiento secuencial para trabajo en serie con temperaturas controladas, niveles superiores de calentamiento, disminución del consumo energético y una adecuada interacción máquina-operario para el ajuste de las variables y la caracterización del proceso de termoformado sobre cada material. La actualización y automatización propuesta para este tipo de máquinas representa una alternativa de capacidad tecnológica con un importante beneficio potencial para las pequeñas empresas del sector de formado de plástico.
