    Industrialization in Ecuador has been significantly driven by technological advances that benefit various industrial sectors. Among these, cargo vehicles play a crucial role in commercialization, generating a high demand for specific components, such as springs. These mechanical elements are widely used across different industries, particularly in the automotive sector. However, in Ecuador, spring manufacturing processes are typically handmade and lack technical design criteria, making it difficult to meet the growing demand for precision and quality. In response to this challenge, a machine was designed and built for the manufacture of helical springs with inner diameters of 1/2 inch and 1 inch. The objective was to modernize the process and improve production efficiency. Appropriate design parameters were researched, engineering software was utilized for development, and unctional tests were conducted to validate the machine's performance. The study employed an applied methodology that included the selection of mechanical elements, comparisons with existing models, and technical calculations to ensure optimal safety factors. As a result, a machine was developed that can manufacture custom springs with precise measurements tailored to the requirements of the automotive sector, which represents the highest demand. The primary contribution of this project is its support for the growth of Ecuador’s industrial sector by introducing innovative technologies that enhance traditional manufacturing processes. Furthermore, it highlights the practical application of engineering knowledge to address real-world industrial challenges, fostering efficiency and development in the country’s manufacturing sector.
