Engineering Research Equipment: Advanced Automated FinishingSystem

9622328维恩斯这项研究设备赠款支持购买部件和制造专门的去毛刺研究平台。去毛刺，尤其是手工去毛刺，是制造精密零件的昂贵、耗时但必要的一部分。特别是对于中小批量生产，这是一个对过程自动化有吸引力的领域。然而，技术问题是用小刀具或磨具沿着轮廓，没有毛刺时不产生力，有毛刺时产生高力。这些调查人员想要用这种设备进行测试的想法是对他们过去单独调查的综合。一种是基于运动学理论的智能运动静态交互平台(SKIP)，另一种是研究毛刺形成和去除的机理。他们对这两个领域的理解使他们找到了去毛刺问题的创新解决方案，即结合跳跃概念和去毛刺过程模型。该设备奖将为研究提供实验设施，包括：用于智能去毛刺的微操作器的运动学和动力学、基于边缘倒角和去毛刺过程模型的控制，以及自动精加工系统的验证。***

9622328 Wiens This research equipment grant supports the purchase of components and the fabrication of a specialized platform for deburring research. Deburring, particularly when done manually, is an expensive, time consuming, but necessary, part of manufacturing precision parts. Particularly for low to mid volume manufacture, it is an area that is attractive for process automation. However, the technical problems are following a contour with a small cutter or abrasive tool, that generate no force when there is no burr and a high force when there is a burr. The idea that these investigators want to test out with this equipment is a synthesis of their past separate investigations. One investigation based on kinematics theory is a smart kinestatic interactive platform (SKIP), and the other studied mechanisms of burr formation and removal. Their understanding of these two areas has led them to an innovative solution of the deburring problem that is an integration of the SKIP concept and a deburring process model. This equipment award will provide experimental facilities for research that includes: kinematics and dynamics of micro-manipulators for smart deburring, edge chamfering and deburring process model based control, and verification of an automated finishing system. ***
