The GMRI robot is capable of inspecting hazardous zones of methane and/or coal dust explosion in hard coal mines. The robot enables remote measurements of the concentrations of methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxygen, temperature, and humidity. Cameras enable the robot to observe the state of the excavation. All electronic circuits of the robot, for measurements, control, transmission, and supply, are intrinsically safe. The transmission of data and control commands from/to the operators console are performed via an electric wire. Moreover, the wire enables to transmit intrinsically safe electric energy and is used to charge one of the accumulators. Thanks to that, the robot can operate in an isolated excavation for 3 months. An intrinsically safe pneumatic drive has been applied for setting wheels in motion. The non-commercial robot prototype was tested in a real excavation in an active hard coal mine. The technical solutions have been presented in the paper.

This paper describes the principle of operation of Multi Jet Fusion (MFJ) technology in detail. Hybrid strength tests were carried out using an INSTRON 5967 universal testing machine controlled by the Bluehill 3 program and coupled with the ARAMIS measurement system (GOM, Gmbh), enabling the monitoring of deformations in three axes, using a system of high-speed cameras. The results are given of the static tensile test of samples in two printing modes characteristic of the MJF technology – FAST and BALANCE.

Przedstawiono metodykę oraz wyniki oceny jakości części maszyn wytworzonych bezpośrednio z modelu numerycznego CAD 3D. Analizowano właściwości części otrzymanych za pomocą reprezentatywnych technik addytywnych opartych na przetwarzaniu polimerów oraz światłoczułych żywic. Cały proces wytwarzania części prowadzono zgodnie z konwencją Przemysł 4.0. Ocena dokładności odtwarzania modeli numerycznych CAD obejmowała zarówno jakość powierzchni zewnętrznych i objętość wytworzonych części, jak i stopień odwzorowania wymiarów. Słowa kluczowe: techniki addytywne, produkcja części, ABS, żywice światłoutwardzalne, analiza dokładności, reprodukcja, Przemysł 4.0. Accuracy analysis of the CAD models reproduction for polymers parts, produced using additive manufacturing at manufacturing process based on Industry 4.0 convention Abstract: This paper presents the methodology and quality assessment results for machine parts produced directly from CAD 3D numerical model. The parts were produced using representative additive manufacturing technologies based on polymers and UV light-cured resins processing and their properties were analyzed. The whole process was conducted according to Industry 4.0 convention. The assessment of the reproduction accuracy of CAD 3D models covered the quality of external surfaces, volume of manufactured parts as well as dimension accuracy.
