This paper deals with a design and a shape optimization of a tool that combines punching of a tarpaulin with the tarpaulin grommet pressing in one operation. The tarpaulin grommet 0.5 mm thick with a diameter of 10 mm is made of DX51D+Z275MAC steel. The designed tool and its main shape dimensions are verified by using a numerical simulation in an ANSYS Workbench software and subsequently also by a practical experiment, i.e. verification and debugging functionality in cooperation with H + D kovo company.
Non-collision trajectories of an industrial robot are the key objective when planning its handling cycles. When the robot should move optimally, precisely and safely in each situation, it is necessary that every obstacle placed in its transition trajectory should be programmed and avoided. The optimal trajectory corresponds to choosing, if possible, the shortest and most appropriate way for the specific movement to be finished. The task of avoiding obstacles by the industrial robot in its working zone can be solved by various methods and algorithms. The paper shows the use of the kinematics SCARA as a way of avoiding obstacles by a robot in the working zone using the Lee algorithm. The configuration fields and networks are being modelled for the avoidance of obstacles together with their evaluation and the search for the shortest trajectory reflected in the robot programming.
Robotization and automation are nowadays one of the most progressive fields of education at secondary schools and universities. The implementation of these fields supports the employment of graduates on the labor market. For the purpose of education in the field of industrial robotics we have created a teaching aid that provides students simple instructions for operating and programming industrial robots KUKA with the control system KR C2.
Efficient machining using wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) technology is a compromise between cutting speed and resulting surface quality. Typical morphology of the surface machined by WEDM shows a plenty of craters caused by electrospark discharges produced during the cutting process. This work is focused on assessing the impact of machine setting parameters on quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the workpiece surface of aluminium alloy AlZn6Mg2Cu. Using metallography, the surface effects arisen during the process of wire spark erosion on cross-sections of preparations were studied. Using local spot EDX microanalysis, the chemical composition of the surfaces of the samples was studied. The attention was also paid to the highest height of profile of the craters, which were studied using 3D filtered images.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
