 Abstract: The tests were done using different values of blankholder forces. The values of the blankholder forces (BHF) were taken between 0kN and 10 kN. Two forming speeds and two to five specimens were used during the tests. The obtained results were an arithmetic average of each test done on the same conditions. The following parameters of the springback effect were determined during the tests: q1 – angle between the bottom of the piece and the side wall; q2 – angle between the flange and the side wall; r – the radius of curvature of the piece wall.

Key words: springback angle, bending angle, springback radius, forming speed, blankholder force.

Research on the structure of metal parts manufactured by the innovative procedure of combined processing operations

Abstract: The analysis of the structure of metal parts made by the innovative technological procedure of combined processing operations requires the investigation of parts by electronic and optical microscopy and micro-hardness determinations. In most investigations, the structural analysis reveals a homogeneous, finished, predominantly martensitic structure with micro-alloying elements finely dispersed in the form of complex carbides. The agglomerations of chemical elements such as Si, Mn and C in the form of strips and strings are rare and they are completely missing in the form of mesh. The optimization measures aim to reduce and eliminate the agglomerations because these ones create inhomogeneities that lead to variations of the properties during utilization conditions. Optimization deals especially with the values of the main technological parameters for the technological phase of liquid form micro-alloying and for the technological phase of induction heat treatment. The optimization measures that are required and the conclusions that are drawn support the viability of the innovative technological procedure of combined heat treatment.

Key words: structure, combined heat treatment, agglomerations.

The relevance of fixed costs in the diagnosis of operating risk to SME’S

Abstract: Due to their weak capitalization and low negotiation power on the market, small and medium-size enterprises (SME) have a high vulnerability to changes in the environment they operate. These vulnerabilities can significantly increase the operational risk of the business, going as far as compromising it. Particularly in areas of activity where technical capital is a business force, the level of fixed costs can be the main factor of operational risk. In view of this, the present paper aims to develop a simple and effective instrument for assessing operating risk to SME’s based on variation of some main indicators such as total sales, prices, fixed costs, variable costs. The proposed risk evaluation model, use two aggregate indicators: degree operating leverage (DOL) and business security interval (IS), calculated as an expression of enterprise’s economic performance, market position and level of capitalization (investment). Following the trend of these indicators is evaluated the trend of the operational risk of the business. The method proposed for evaluation of operating risk includes the main steps that are required to be followed under scientific control. These are presented in a decisional logic structure, in order to optimize the management decision in terms of minimizing the risk of the business which is objectively assessed through calculation. This way increases significant the applicative character of the method. The paper includes a case study to illustrate how to apply the method to a SME’s type company.

 

Key words: operating risk, fixed costs, variable cost margin, security interval, investments.

Abstract: Train wheel sets must be periodically inspected for possible or actual failures.  The wheels are the most loaded components of railway vehicles and are subject to continuous wear. Framing the rolling profile of the railway vehicle wheels in to the geometric and dimensional features, regulated by national and international norms and standards, is a key factor for traffic safety. When the wheel reaches a certain critical level of wear, it must be re-profiled or replaced. This paper presents some considerations on the development of an automatic wheel profile measurement and computer analysis system integrated in a CNC profiling/re-profiling machine-tools. Measurement is done by contact, in two rectangular coordinates.

 

Key words: wheel set; railway wheel profile measurement; railway wheel wear; numerical model; in-workshop inspection, railway wheel reshaping.

Abstract: This paper presents the theoretical stages for developing the mathematical model of a multirotor drone used for security applications and applicative works for development of the calculation algorithm necessary to determine the best choice of brushless motors which will equip the drone, based on the payload mounted onboard the drone and the specific mission that the drone is going to perform. First part of the paper presents the kinematics and dynamics modeling of the drone operation principles. It includes coordinates systems description, matrix description of roll-pitch - yaw individual and global rotation motions, as well as appropriate forces and torques acting on the drone system. Second part of the paper presents full calculation algorithm for motor selection, the procedure followed up to verify the resulted configuration for hexacopter's driving system as well as the virtual 3D prototype of the hexacopter achieved using SOLIDWORKS CAD software. Final aspects including electronic wiring and constructive - functional aspects related to hexacopter's on the board electronics are included too.

 

Key words: calculation algorithm, hexarotor drone, drone prototype, brushless motor, motor selection.

Abstract: This article presents the first stage of the work performed by the authors regarding robot accuracy evaluation. This stage focuses on measuring the variations in robot's accuracy values during a linear movement of the tool along a direction parallel to the Y axis of the base frame. The experimental procedures were conducted using a Kawasaki FS 10 E articulated arm robot with six degrees of freedom and the measurements were done using a Renishaw ML10 laser interferometer. The accuracy values at various points on the trajectory were recorded using different movement speeds, in order to evaluate the influence of trajectory speed on the accuracy levels and the speed levels at which the robot can be programmed for precise tasks. Furthermore, the measurements were conducted for both the programmed path along the Y axis of the base frame and for the reversed trajectory. For results analysis, a comparison with previous experimental procedures regarding robot volumetric precision was made, including a study of precision levels across the robot's workspac, which was considered as a basis for these measurements. Future research directions include analyzing the accuracy levels of the robot along the X axis of the base frame and evaluating the repeatability of the arm, with the final goal being to apply a calibration procedure based on the experimental results in order to improve the overall volumetric precision of the robot.

 

Key words: industrial robot, laser interferometer, accuracy, volumetric precision, linear trajectory.

 Abstract: Nowadays more and more companies are using active monitoring systems for predictive maintenance of the manufacturing systems. With Industry 4.0 revolution almost all modern production systems are able to monitor the production systems and to send data values to monitoring platform. The main issue appears when using older machines that lack the basic communication capabilities, in this case sometimes supplementary equipment are needed to connect the required machine. The IoT platforms represents an alternative to the classical monitoring platforms as usually integrates tools and utilities needed to facilitate some common actions like sending emails and SMS alerts. This paper presents research results regarding an IoT ready device for industrial environment capable of connecting machines and production equipment through the internet to a smart process monitoring platform based on IoT.

 

Key words: Internet of Things (IoT), monitoring platform, industrial communications, Industry 4.0.
