Abstract— This report shows the methodology to develop a crack Two motor reducers
detector from an analog sensor 2Y0A21 Sharp and the actuator,
which in this case was motor reducers. The purpose of using an
analog sensor over a digital sensor is to account for the sensor

over time and proportional to the effects being measured. It is of Cinchos
paramount importance the number of data collected to elaborate Bearings
the process of digital filter, implementing the filter, analyzing the Cable
results and the graphs obtained from the use of the apparatus to Threaded rod
