Metalworking - 2014, or the story of real robots
While the Robot Ball continues in Artplay (by the way, there is a MadRobots stand, you can go and see) in the expocenter, without any extra pumping, the Metalworking-2014 exhibition began, which showed, in my opinion, more interesting robots. As can be determined by name, these were mainly industrial machines for metal processing. Of course, they cannot communicate with people, and often I do only one operation, but how do they do it!
I apologize in advance for 800 kilobytes of hyphyatina to kat. Further it will be worse.
Unfortunately, due to lack of time, I visited only one of the 7 pavilions, but there were a lot of interesting things.
Here's an example of a wire bending machine with a title GIF:
It can do anything from springs to paper clips:
Or flowers:
This is what it looks like on the other side - a rotation drive and wire feed:
And the wire itself is unwound from such a coil:
Once again, the process of working with quality is better:
If you want with sound and without acceleration, you can see it here (by the way, subscribe).
Here is another nearby similar machine, but more specialized - sharpened by springs.
The wire is unwound (from the same coil):
And it gets into the work area: The
result of the work are springs of various configurations:
But the coordinate measuring machine.
She is engaged in poking like these with probes:
In different details. The whole cymes is that with a sensor it can measure the deviation of the surface of the part from the norm up to several microns.
And she also has a control program adapted for Windows 8!
A machine that bends hydraulically rails. Well, it’s not exactly the rails, but it’s not difficult to bend a piece of iron the thickness of a rail along a given profile.
She even turned off makes an impression - large, almost the height of a man, smells of oil and with a flower on the side.
And this is the same company, but for bending sheets:
And here is the EDM wire machine:
This is "welding the other way around." The brass wire flowing from here:
Concerns the part in a liquid dielectric (usually using distilled water):
The generator creates a high-voltage pulse between the wire and the part, as a result of which a small piece breaks off the part. With this method, you can very accurately process any metals without high temperature and cutters. Only pretty slow.
However, you can process metals in many ways, for example, by waterjet cutting :
This machine cuts metal by applying a stream of water with abrasive - fine pomegranate sand under ultrahigh pressure (4000 atmospheres) and speed :
Cutting any complex contour in a workpiece:
Accuracy - 2.5 microns, cutting speed - up to 40 cm per minute, with an increase in the thickness of the material, the speed decreases.
It weighs 8 tons, eats from the network 22 kilowatts.
And metals can be welded. If you manually do this laziness, you can take just such a hand, combined with welding and a rotary platform (below):
It can climb through this hole and weld something inside.
I lost the video, so I dragged it from Dru4 with similar hands:
There were also a variety of CNC coordinate machines. I didn’t see such cool ones as in this legendary video, but there were many others, less complicated. But similar:
This orange fool, despite the large volume and certainly weight, moved so fast that I could not photograph her normally.
But the control panel I was able to photograph: The
screen is closer:
True, she was in demonstration mode (= moving fast, not cutting anything). But this one really lathe cut Circuits:
Here the control panel has poglamurnee:
And on the small screen, you can see the trajectory of the movement of the head:
Should a machine about 5 million rubles.
And this machine looks like a shower cabin:
Because it is partly it:
To facilitate cutting and lower the temperature of the cutter and the part during processing, grease is poured onto them with a generous stream. Generously - because it is reused, the pump below collects the cleaned grease and feeds it back to the nozzles.
You can also cut metal with a laser!
Unfortunately, the cutting process could not be photographed properly, it was dark and there were some outbreaks. Here's the insides for you:
On the side, the thing all tubes converge to is the laser head. And here are the cutting results:
And now:
In my opinion, it will be a figure, such as this:
Only not from plywood, but from brass.
The control panel is a regular computer. Only the keyboard is closed with a metal overlay (probably cut on it),
And USB is closed with a lid:
And metals can also be marked.
But only metals. From metal materials I found only a carabiner and a voice recorder (I forgot about an aluminum laptop. Maybe fortunately)
We put a titanium carabiner in there:
Hover, focus, set the work area:
Configure the laser parameters:
And once!
"Cut off" the inscription. In fact, they went deep to the level of the inscription. Two - and cut another inscription on top:
Put the recorder : Focus
:
Run:
We get this inscription (though a little oblique, not very evenly laid) The
white inscription is because aluminum itself without oxide film is very light.
It can do anything from springs to paper clips:
Or flowers:
