I-SWR+HyperFill evela kwiNovarc Technologies isebenzisa iteknoloji yeLincoln Electric yokuwelda i-arc yesinyithi eneengcingo ezimbini ukuze izalise kwaye ivale ii-welds zepayipi.
Ukuwelda imibhobho emifutshane yinkqubo enzima. Ububanzi kunye nobukhulu beendonga zahlukile kancinci, yindlela nje isilwanyana esinjalo esiphila ngayo. Oku kwenza ukufakwa kwento yokuvumelana kunye nokuwelda kube yinto yokwamkela. Le nkqubo akulula ukuyenza ngokuzenzekelayo, kwaye bambalwa abawelda imibhobho abalungileyo kunangaphambili.
Le nkampani ikwafuna ukugcina abawelda bayo ababalaseleyo bemibhobho. Abawelda abalungileyo mhlawumbi abayi kufuna ukuwelda iiyure ezisi-8 ngqo kwi-1G ngelixa umbhobho ukwi-chuck ejikelezayo. Mhlawumbi bavavanye i-5G (ethe tye, iityhubhu azikwazi ukujikeleza) okanye i-6G (iityhubhu ezingajikeleziyo zikwindawo ethe tyaba), kwaye banethemba lokuba banokukwazi ukusebenzisa ezi zakhono. Ukuwelda i-1G kufuna ubuchule, kodwa abantu abanamava banokukufumanisa kuyinto edinisayo. Kungathatha ixesha elide kakhulu.
Nangona kunjalo, kwiminyaka yakutshanje, kuye kwavela ezinye iindlela zokwenza izinto ngokuzenzekelayo kwisityalo sokwenza imibhobho, kuquka iirobhothi ezisebenzisanayo. I-Novarc Technologies yaseVancouver, eBritish Columbia, eyasungula iRobot yokuWelda yeSpool (SWR) esebenzisana nayo ngo-2016, yongeze itekhnoloji ye-HyperFill twin-wire metal arc welding (GMAW) yeLincoln Electric kwinkqubo.
“Oku kukunika ikholamu enkulu ye-arc yokuwelda ngomthamo ophezulu. Le nkqubo inee-roller kunye neengcebiso ezikhethekileyo zokunxibelelana ukuze ube neengcingo ezimbini ezisebenza kwi-conduit enye kwaye wakhe ikhowuni enkulu ye-arc ekuvumela ukuba uwelda phantse kabini izinto ezifakwe kuyo.”
Ngoko ke, utshilo uSoroush Karimzade, i-CEO yeNovarc Technologies, eyatyhila itekhnoloji ye-SWR+Hyperfill kwi-FABTECH 2021. Amanani okufaka amanzi afanayo asafumaneka kwiipayipi [iindonga] ukusuka kwi-0.5 ukuya kwi-2 intshi.”
Kwindlela eqhelekileyo yokuseta, umqhubi useta i-cobot ukuba yenze i-root pass enye ngetotshi enye, aze ayisuse aze ayitshintshe njengesiqhelo ngetotshi enye ene-2-wire GMAW setting, enyusa ukuzaliswa. Idiphozithi kunye neendlela ezivaliweyo. . “Oku kunceda ukunciphisa inani lee-pass kwaye kunciphise ukungena kobushushu,” utshilo uKarimzadeh, wongeza ukuba ulawulo lobushushu lunceda ukuphucula umgangatho we-welding. “Ngexesha lovavanyo lwethu lwangaphakathi, sikwazile ukufumana iziphumo zovavanyo ezinempembelelo ephezulu ukuya kuthi ga kwi--50 degrees Fahrenheit.”
Njengayo nayiphi na indawo yokusebenzela, ezinye iindawo zokusebenzela iipayipi ziinkampani ezahlukeneyo. Zisenokungasebenzi rhoqo ngeepayipi ezineendonga ezinzima, kodwa zinenkqubo yokungenzi nto kwiikona xa kwenzeka loo msebenzi. Nge-cobot, umqhubi angasebenzisa iseti enye yentambo yokuseta iityhubhu ezincinci zodonga aze atshintshele kwiseti yetotshi ezimbini (intambo enye yengca yomsele kunye nentambo ezimbini ze-GMAW zokugcwalisa nokuvala imijelo) xa ecubungula iityhubhu ezinkulu zodonga ezazifuneka ngaphambili kwinkqubo yokuhambisa iipayipi zenkqubo ye-subarc.
UKarimzadeh wongeza ngelithi ukusetwa kwetotshi ezimbini kunokusetyenziswa ukwandisa ukuguquguquka. Umzekelo, i-cobot yetotshi ezimbini inokushisela zombini iipayipi zentsimbi yekhabhoni kunye nezentsimbi engagqwali. Ngolu lungiselelo, umqhubi uza kusebenzisa iitotshi ezimbini kulungiselelo olunye lwentambo. Itotshi enye iza kubonelela ngentambo yokuzalisa umsebenzi wentsimbi yekhabhoni kwaye enye itotshi iza kubonelela ngentambo yepayipi yentsimbi engagqwali. “Kule lungiselelo, umqhubi uza kuba nenkqubo yokutya intambo engangcoliswanga yetotshi yesibini eyenzelwe ukusebenza ngentsimbi engagqwali,” utshilo uKarimzadeh.
Ngokweengxelo, le nkqubo ingenza uhlengahlengiso xa kudlula iingcambu ezibalulekileyo. “Ngexesha lokudlula kweengcambu, xa udlula kwi-tack, isithuba siyakhula kwaye sinciphe ngokuxhomekeke ekulinganeni kombhobho,” ucacisa uKarimzade. “Ukuze kulungiselelwe oku, le nkqubo inokuqaphela ukunamathela kwaye yenze i-adaptive welding. Oko kukuthi, itshintsha ngokuzenzekelayo iiparamitha ze-welding kunye ne-motion ukuqinisekisa ukuxubana okufanelekileyo kwezi tacks. Inokufunda nendlela i-gap etshintsha ngayo kwaye itshintshe iiparamitha ze-motion ukuqinisekisa ukuba awuvuthuzi, ukuze kwenziwe i-root pass echanekileyo.”
Inkqubo ye-cobot idibanisa ukulandelela umthungo we-laser kunye nekhamera enika umthungi umbono ocacileyo wentambo (okanye ucingo olukwiseti yeengcingo ezimbini) njengoko isinyithi singena emngxunyeni. Kangangeminyaka, iNovarc isebenzise idatha yokuthungela ukwenza iNovEye, inkqubo yombono womatshini eqhutywa yi-AI eyenza inkqubo yokuthungela izimele ngakumbi. Injongo kukuba umqhubi angasoloko elawula ukuthungela, kodwa akwazi ukuhamba aye kwenza eminye imisebenzi.
Thelekisa konke oku nokusetyenziswa okubandakanya ukulungiswa komjelo weengcambu ngesandla kulandele ukudluliswa ngokukhawuleza kunye nokulungiswa komjelo oshushu ngesandla kunye ne-grinder yokucoca umphezulu weengcambu. Emva koko, umbhobho omfutshane ekugqibeleni ungena kumjelo wokuzalisa nokuvala. “Oku kudla ngokufuna ukuhambisa umbhobho uye kwindawo eyahlukileyo,” wongeza uKarimzade, “ngoko ke kufuneka kuphathwe izinto ezininzi.”
Ngoku khawucinge nge-app efanayo ne-cobot automation. Isebenzisa ukuseta ucingo olunye kwiingcambu kunye neengcambu ezigqunyiweyo, i-cobot idibanisa ingcambu ize ngoko nangoko iqalise ukuzalisa umjelo ngaphandle kokuma ukuze ivuselele ingcambu. Kwipayipi etyebileyo, isikhululo esifanayo singaqala ngetotshi yocingo olunye kwaye sitshintshele kwitotshi yocingo oluphindwe kabini ukuze sidlule emva koko.
Olu lawulo lwe-robotic olusebenzisanayo lunokutshintsha ubomi kwivenkile yeepayipi. Abawelda abaziingcali bachitha ixesha elininzi besenza iipayipi ezilukhuni kakhulu ezingenakwenziwa nge-rotary chuck. Abaqalayo baza kuqhuba ii-cobots kunye namajoni anamava, bajonge kwaye balawule ii-welds, kwaye bafunde indlela yokwenza iipayipi ezisemgangathweni. Ekuhambeni kwexesha (nasemva kokuziqhelanisa kwindawo yesandla ye-1G) bafunde indlela yokulawula itotshi kwaye ekugqibeleni baphumelele uvavanyo lwe-5G kunye ne-6G ukuze babe ngabawelda abaziingcali ngokwabo.
Namhlanje, umntu oqalayo ukusebenza ne-cobot usenokuba uqalisa umsebenzi omtsha njengomthungi wepayipi, kodwa ubuchule abukwenzi kube nzima ukusebenza. Ukongeza, eli shishini lifuna abathungi bepayipi abalungileyo, ingakumbi iindlela zokuphucula imveliso yaba bathungi. Ukuzisebenzela kwe-pipe welding, kuquka neerobhothi ezisebenzisanayo, kusenokwenzeka ukuba kudlale indima ekhulayo kwixesha elizayo.
