I-SWR+HyperFill evela ku-Novarc Technologies isebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-Lincoln Electric bokushisela insimbi yensimbi enezintambo ezimbili ukuze kugcwaliswe futhi kuvalwe ukushisela kwamapayipi.
Ukushisela amapayipi amafushane kuyinqubo eyinkimbinkimbi. Ububanzi nobukhulu bezindonga kuhlukile kancane, kumane nje kuyimvelo yesilo. Lokhu kwenza ukufakwa kwesenzo sokuvumelana nokushisela kube isenzo sokwamukela. Le nqubo akulula ukuyenza ngokuzenzakalela, futhi bambalwa abashisela amapayipi abahle kunanini ngaphambili.
Le nkampani ifuna futhi ukugcina abashiseli bayo abahle kakhulu bamapayipi. Abashiseli abahle cishe ngeke bafune ukushisela amahora angu-8 ngokuqondile ku-1G ngenkathi ipayipi lisesikhwameni esijikelezayo. Mhlawumbe bahlole i-5G (evundlile, amapayipi awakwazi ukujikisa) noma ngisho ne-6G (amapayipi angajikelezi asesimweni esithambekele), futhi banethemba lokukwazi ukusebenzisa la makhono. Ukuhlanganisa i-1G nge-soldering kudinga ikhono, kodwa abantu abanolwazi bangase bakuthole kuyisicefe. Kungathatha isikhathi eside kakhulu futhi.
Kodwa-ke, eminyakeni yamuva nje, kuye kwavela izinketho ezengeziwe zokwenza izinto ngokuzenzakalela esitshalweni sokukhiqiza amapayipi, okuhlanganisa namarobhothi asebenzisanayo. I-Novarc Technologies yaseVancouver, eBritish Columbia, eyasungula i-Spool Welding Robot (SWR) esebenzisana ngo-2016, ifake ubuchwepheshe be-Lincoln Electric's HyperFill twin-wire metal arc welding (GMAW) ohlelweni.
"Lokhu kukunikeza ikholomu enkulu ye-arc yokushisela ngobuningi obukhulu. Uhlelo lunama-roller kanye namathiphu okuxhumana akhethekile ukuze ube nezintambo ezimbili ezisebenza ku-conduit efanayo futhi wakhe ikhoni enkulu ye-arc ekuvumela ukuthi ushisele cishe kabili izinto ezifakwe ngaphakathi."
Ngakho-ke, kusho uSoroush Karimzade, i-CEO yeNovarc Technologies, eyembule ubuchwepheshe be-SWR+Hyperfill ku-FABTECH 2021. Amanani okufakwa kwamapayipi afanayo asatholakala kusukela ku-0.5 kuya ku-2 inches.
Ekusethweni okuvamile, umqhubi usetha i-cobot ukuze enze i-root pass eyodwa ngethoshi elilodwa, bese esusa futhi ashintshe ithoshi njengenjwayelo ngethoshi elinohlelo lwe-GMAW olunezintambo ezimbili, okwandisa ukugcwaliswa. Amadiphozithi kanye nezindlela ezivinjiwe. . "Lokhu kusiza ukunciphisa inani lama-pass futhi kunciphise ukufakwa kokushisa," kusho uKarimzadeh, enezela ngokuthi ukulawula ukushisa kusiza ukuthuthukisa ikhwalithi yokushisela. "Ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa kwethu kwangaphakathi, sikwazile ukufeza imiphumela yokuhlolwa komthelela ophezulu yehle ibe yi--50 degrees Fahrenheit."
Njenganoma iyiphi indawo yokusebenzela, amanye ama-workshop amapayipi ayizinkampani ezahlukahlukene. Angase angasebenzi kakhulu ngamapayipi anezindonga ezisindayo, kodwa anesistimu yokungenzi lutho emakhoneni uma kwenzeka umsebenzi onjalo. Nge-cobot, umqhubi angasebenzisa ukusetha ucingo olulodwa ukuze afake amapayipi amancane odongeni bese eshintshela ekusethweni kwethoshi eliphindwe kabili (ucingo olulodwa lomsele wezimpande kanye nocingo oluphindwe kabili lwe-GMAW lokugcwalisa nokuvala imisele) lapho ecubungula amapayipi amakhulu odongeni ayedingeka ngaphambilini ohlelweni lwamapayipi ohlelo lwe-subarc.
UKarimzadeh wengeza ngokuthi ukusethwa kwethoshi eliphindwe kabili kungasetshenziswa futhi ukwandisa ukuguquguquka. Isibonelo, i-cobot yethoshi eliphindwe kabili ingashisela kokubili amapayipi ensimbi yekhabhoni kanye nensimbi engagqwali. Ngaleli lungiselelo, umqhubi uzosebenzisa amathoshi amabili ekucushweni kwentambo eyodwa. Ithoshi elilodwa lizohlinzeka ngocingo lokugcwalisa umsebenzi wensimbi yekhabhoni kanti elinye ithoshi lizohlinzeka ngocingo lwepayipi lensimbi engagqwali. “Kulokhu kulungiselelwa, umqhubi uzoba nohlelo lokuphakelwa kwentambo olungangcolisiwe lwethoshi lesibili elenzelwe ukusebenza ngensimbi engagqwali,” kusho uKarimzadeh.
Ngokusho kwemibiko, uhlelo lungenza izinguquko ngesikhathi sokudlula kwezimpande ezibalulekile. “Ngesikhathi sokudlula kwezimpande, uma udlula ku-tack, igebe liyakhula futhi linciphe kuye ngokuthi ipayipi lilingana kanjani,” kuchaza uKarimzade. “Ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nalokhu, uhlelo lungabona ukunamathela futhi lwenze ukushisela okuguqukayo. Okusho ukuthi, lushintsha ngokuzenzakalelayo amapharamitha okushisela kanye nokunyakaza ukuqinisekisa ukuhlanganiswa okufanele kula ma-tack. Lungafunda nokuthi igebe lishintsha kanjani futhi lushintshe amapharamitha okunyakaza ukuqinisekisa ukuthi awuvuthi, ukuze kwenziwe ukudluliswa kwezimpande okufanele.”
Uhlelo lwe-cobot luhlanganisa ukulandelela umthungo we-laser nekhamera enikeza umshiseli umbono ocacile wentambo (noma ucingo olusethwe ngezintambo ezimbili) njengoba insimbi igeleza ingene emseleni. Sekuyiminyaka, i-Novarc isebenzisa idatha yokushisela ukudala i-NovEye, uhlelo lokubona lomshini oluqhutshwa yi-AI olwenza inqubo yokushisela ibe ngokuzimela kakhudlwana. Umgomo uwukuba umqhubi angalawuli njalo ukushisela, kodwa akwazi ukuhamba ayokwenza eminye imisebenzi.
Qhathanisa konke lokhu nohlelo lokusebenza oluhlanganisa ukulungiswa komsele wezimpande ngesandla olulandelwa ukudlula okusheshayo kanye nokulungiswa komsele oshisayo ngesandla nge-grinder ukuze kuhlanzwe ubuso bemisele yezimpande. Ngemva kwalokho, ithubhu elifushane ekugcineni lingena emseleni wokugcwalisa nokuvala. “Lokhu kuvame ukudinga ukuhambisa ipayipi liye endaweni ehlukile,” kusho uKarimzade, “ngakho-ke kudingeka kuphathwe izinto eziningi.”
Manje cabanga ngohlelo lokusebenza olufanayo olusebenzisa i-cobot automation. Isebenzisa ukusetha ucingo olulodwa kokubili imisele yezimpande kanye neyokumboza, i-cobot ishibiliza impande bese iqala ngokushesha ukugcwalisa umsele ngaphandle kokuma ukuze iphinde ivele impande. Kupayipi elijiyile, isiteshi esifanayo singaqala ngethoshi elilodwa lentambo bese sishintshela kuthoshi lezintambo ezimbili ukuze kudlule okulandelayo.
Lokhu kusebenzisana kwerobhothi okuzenzakalelayo kungaba yinto eshintsha impilo esitolo samapayipi. Abashiseli abangochwepheshe bachitha isikhathi sabo esiningi benza ukushisela kwamapayipi okunzima kakhulu okungenakukwenziwa nge-rotary chuck. Abaqalayo bazohlola ama-cobot kanye nama-veteran, babuke futhi balawule ukushisela, futhi bafunde ukwenza ukushisela kwamapayipi osezingeni eliphezulu. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi (nangemva kokuzijwayeza endaweni yesandla ye-1G) bafunda indlela yokuqondisa ithoshi futhi ekugcineni baphumelela ekuhlolweni kwe-5G kanye ne-6G ukuze babe ngabashiseli abangochwepheshe ngokwabo.
Namuhla, umuntu omusha osebenza ne-cobot angase aqale umsebenzi omusha njengomshiseli wamapayipi, kodwa ukusungula izinto ezintsha akukwenzi kungasebenzi kahle. Ngaphezu kwalokho, imboni idinga abashiseli bamapayipi abahle, ikakhulukazi izindlela zokuthuthukisa umkhiqizo walaba bashiseli. Ukuzenzakalela kokushisela amapayipi, okuhlanganisa namarobhothi asebenzisanayo, cishe kuzodlala indima ekhulayo esikhathini esizayo.
UTim Heston, uMhleli Omkhulu we-The FABRICATOR, ubelokhu esembonini yokukhiqiza insimbi kusukela ngo-1998, eqala umsebenzi wakhe nge-American Welding Society's Welding Magazine. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, ibilokhu ihlanganisa zonke izinqubo zokukhiqiza insimbi kusukela ekunyatheliseni, ekugobeni nasekusikeni kuya ekugayeni nasekupholisheni. Wajoyina i-FABRICATOR ngo-Okthoba 2007.
I-FABRICATOR ingumagazini ohamba phambili wokukhiqiza nokwenza insimbi eNyakatho Melika. Lo magazini ushicilela izindaba, izihloko zobuchwepheshe kanye nezindaba zempumelelo ezivumela abakhiqizi ukwenza umsebenzi wabo ngempumelelo enkulu. I-FABRICATOR ibilokhu ikhona embonini kusukela ngo-1970.
