Automatic Manipulation of Parts Made from Yielding Material

Abstract

The goal of the presented research in this theses is acquiring a concept while researching the process of manipulating with materials in the shape of a thin rectangular metal sheets. The gained results from the FEM calculation have a graphic output, on which the dimensions of the observed object, the placement of the suction grippers and a colored course of elastic deformation and stress caused are illustrated throughout the metal sheet. The design and its process contribute to making the job of the constructor while designing suction grippers, more effective and simple. The results from the experiment and the simulation, where processed through statistical evaluation and as a result the coefficients were corrected for optimal simulation.

Pneumatic Systems for Automatic Sorting Equipment

“…These correction coefficients can be used in the design of gripping heads, for which the maximum requirement is that, once the material is gripped, the manipulated object is subject to the smallest deflection. [10]…”

“…In the next step, this head was attached to the SEF VRS1D handling robot and Leica's Laser Tracker and T-Scane values were measured for the resulting sheet metal real deflections. [10,11]…”

“…This system also allows for more efficient planning of the cutting process with regard to the capacity of the workplaces carrying out subsequent operations as well as the capacity of handling operations. [4,5] The application area of such complex cutting nodes is characterized by the need for a great deal of cutting, such as the production of ships, railway rolling stock, steel structures of production halls, bridges and, wind power plant turbines. In the world, a demand is growing for them and it is related to the effort to increase the degree of automation of production.…”

“…The solution also includes the automatic removal of waste emerging from the cutting process. [5][6][7]…”

“…Recently, a number of developers are dedicated to the construction of more complex robots with hybrid locomotion [16][17][18].…”
