Hot Spring End Winding Process Research Based on the Robotics Plasma Cutting Method

Abstract

The article concentrates on the research of the hot coiled spring processing by means of plasma cutting. It covers the alternative solutions of the processing methods as well as the plasma cutting technology. Robotic system (Robotics) is represented as the basis for the technology solution in order to carry out the spring end grinding process by means of plasma cutting. The analysis of its operation activity for a period of two years resulted in the development of the methods to rectify the deficiencies found in the course of the robotics system lifetime. Spring end grinding process defects have been detected. It was developed the list of engineering solutions for the purpose of elimination of the defects. On the basis of the developed methods and engineering solutions along with the newly specified criteria for Robotic system control it was determined a list of operating system (OS) requirements. It was developed a new functional chart and control algorithms for Robotics OS. It has been developed and carried out the industrial practical testing of the new Operating System.
