Generación de una práctica de mantenimiento preventivo y correctivo de motores de corriente alterna (AC) en un entorno de realidad virtual

Abstract

The objective of the work is the development of a versatile and interactive virtual environment that improves the practical experience and learning methods of mechatronics engineering students around maintenance, specifically in the corrective and preventive maintenance of AC three-phase squirrel cage induction motors by VR technology using Oculus Quest 2 VR glasses as a tool. The purpose of this research was to improve the learning methods from a practical approach and to reinforce the theoretical knowledge of the students. Ten users were selected who did not necessarily have experience in the use of virtual reality technology or around maintenance but belonged to the mechatronics engineering faculty of the Universidad Autónoma de Bucaramanga, for the validation and testing of the environment. This experience was completed in individual and collective sessions that culminated with a satisfaction survey to the participants, which helped to rate the quality of the simulator in its fluidity, interactivity, teaching, and knowledge bases. The results reflect a good acceptance by the users, the scores reflect the fluency of the program and the acquisition of knowledge, which translates into a significant improvement in the practical performance of AC equipment maintenance. On the other hand, it opened the possibility for future improvements, such as the incorporation of other types of maintenance and simulation in specific industrial work environments to diagnose the equipment while in operation.
