Engineering Research Equipment: Advanced Automated FinishingSystem

小行星9622328 该研究设备补助金支持购买部件和制造用于去毛刺研究的专用平台。 去毛刺，特别是手动去毛刺，是制造精密零件的一个昂贵、耗时但必要的部分。 特别是对于中小批量制造，这是一个对过程自动化有吸引力的领域。 然而，技术问题是用小的刀具或研磨工具跟随轮廓，当没有毛刺时不产生力，而当有毛刺时产生高的力。 这些调查人员想要用这种设备进行测试的想法是他们过去单独调查的综合。一个是基于运动学理论的智能静态交互平台（SKIP），另一个是毛刺形成和去除机理的研究。 他们对这两个领域的理解使他们找到了一种创新的去毛刺解决方案，即SKIP概念和去毛刺工艺模型的集成。 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机械手的运动学和动力学，边缘倒角和基于控制的去毛刺过程模型，以及自动化精加工系统的验证。 ***

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. ***
