Analysis of Current Situation, Demand and Development Trend of Casting Grinding Technology

Abstract

Although grinding is essential in the production of castings, the casting grinding process in manufacturing is complicated and there are many difficulties, such as the large amount of noise in the grinding environment, non-structural casting entities, and the inclination in the overall shape–time variation. Even in the face of complex technology and a variety of difficulties, modern casting grinding technology still demands large-batch production, low cost, fast response, thin brittleness, high precision, etc. The grinding process has a long history. This paper focus on its development from a human-operated, mechanical job, to an automatic grinding task based on compliant control theory. However, the methods mentioned above can no longer satisfy the current production need. In recent years, researchers have proposed intelligent grinding methods to meet the needs of modern casting production, and provided various strategies and alternatives to the challenges of machining accuracy, machining efficiency, and surface consistency. The research direction of casting polishing has mainly focused on online robot detection, material removal prediction, constant grinding contact force control, and high-precision matching. Although applications for online detection and constant grinding contact force control exist in industry, there are challenges in material removal prediction and three-dimensional high-precision matching. This paper also compares and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of different grinding methods, and puts forward some research directions for future work, so as to promote more intelligent and efficient grinding of complex castings in practical application.

Enhancing aero-engine airway fault diagnosis through multimodal deep neural networks

“…In recent years, deep learning techniques have gradually attracted attention in engine fault diagnosis. Researchers have begun to explore the use of deep neural networks for end-to-end learning and processing of multimodal data [24][25][26][27][28] . For example, image feature extraction using convolutional neural networks (CNNs), processing time series data using recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and then fusing features from different modal data to achieve more accurate engine fault classification and diagnosis.…”

Intelligent hydroponic greenhouse based on Internet of Things

“…It takes time and effort, and the harvest cannot be guaranteed; Unlike traditional planting, Different from traditional planting, soilless cultivation provides a planting environment that meets the growth requirements by using nutrient solution to replace the original soil 14 ,Not only is there no requirement for soil, but also because most soilless cultivation is carried out in greenhouses, so soilless cultivation has very low requirements for the external environment. Therefore, this cultivation method can be carried out anywhere, and even can be planted at home as balcony agriculture.…”

Research on Point Cloud Processing and Grinding Trajectory Planning of Steel Helmet Based on 3D Scanner

“…In recent years, robotic grinding systems have been widely used for the surface machining of free-type workpieces, such as wheel hubs and turbine blades [1]- [3]. By maintaining the contact point of the tool-workpiece and the tool normal direction (the tool position and posture), accurate surface grinding of the workpiece can be achieved [4].…”
