2) MEng, PhD Student, Mechanical Engineering Faculty, Technical University of Sofia, Bulgaria

 

Abstract: This paper is focused on the results of 3D data exchange between CAD systems using neutral data formats such as STEP and IGES which have addressed the issue of the data transfer, but these are incapable of handling design intent information generated by contemporary CAD systems. Accentuate are problems of loss and change of the graphic information, topological data, naming and coordinates after the transformation. This project is called “CMS in CATIA” and is executed by the Engineering and Integration Office on Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Experiment, which is part of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Counsel for Nuclear Research – CERN, Switzerland. The 3D models have been created at Institutes and Universities which are collaborators in the CMS experiment in different CAD environments and different version of the systems.

 

Key words: 3D models, CAD systems, graphic information, neutral formats.

Abstract: In this article the optimal location logistics of manufacturing resources is analyzed, for the manufacture of four parts: intake gallery, square flange, injector support and body of the component product intake system. After a preliminary analysis was found that the best method of location of the resources in this case is the links method. For its implementation will be completed the study stages: grouping of parts that are processed on workstations to be located; development of matrix location; the representation of theoretical location and adapting the theoretical location to real conditions of the workshop.

 

Key words: logistic industry, intake system, links method, optimal location, matrix location.

Abstract: Rapid Prototyping (RP) can be described as a group of technologies used to quickly manufacturing a scale model of a part or product using three-dimensional computer aided design (CAD) data. What is commonly considered to be the first RP technique, Stereolithography, was developed by 3D Systems of Valencia, CA, USA. The company was founded in 1986, and since then, a number of different RP techniques have become available.

Abstract: This publication deals with simulation process and NC-code generating in the system CATIA V5R20. In this superior CAD/CAM system it is possible to manufacture models with very complicated shapes and NC-code then finally transferred into the operating systems of machining centers. Each machining technology must be supported by selection of the relevant cutting tools and cutting materials, design and use of plant and machinery suitable for innovative machining technology, which benefits must always be continuous reduction in production time and mechanical machining time in each operation, subject to the quality and accuracy of the product. Production processes have to be optimized by CAD/CAM systems application in the technological preparation of production and use of innovation in programming CNC machine tools

Abstract: The paper presents the original contributions on structural and functional analysis of numerical controlled (NC) axes of industrial robots (IR) with electric driving system. Main purpose of the paper is to define and validate an assisted selection procedure of IR’s NC axes optimal structure imposed specification accordingly IR’s output for performance level. For this purpose a complex assisted study on NC axes optimum structure of a gantry robot for part handling application and both IR’s NC axes specific performance parameters and their influence on robot’s overall performances has been performed. The method was applied for actual performance evaluation of NC axes structure and electric driving systems performances of a GUDEL gantry IR. The results of study had shown good conformity of procedure and real robot design as well as how real robot design / overall performances may be improved.

THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS ABOUT BEARING LUBRICATION

 Abstract: The rolling bearings operate in very different conditions. The selection of lubricant and the lubrication system is a complex and very important problem. Besides the main function of reducing the  friction, a lubricant removes the heat, withstands to the high pressures, ensures the sealing of the couplings, carries the impurities,  ensures the protection against the corrosion, extends the lifetime of the equipment and, finally, must be not too expensive. The paper aims to highlight the effective methods of lubrication and to choose different types of lubricants, depending on the specific situations. As a practical application, is presented a method to determine the optimum viscosity of the lubricant for the reducer of a knitting machine.

 

Key words: lubricating, oils, greases, viscosity.

Abstract: The lifetime evolution of the manufacturing accuracy of the machine-tools, defined as technological reliability, is an important research domain. The chosen practical case is connected with the accuracy of a set of universal milling machines. A pre-selection of field data using the Spearman technique was developed. Five characteristics of manufacturing accuracy were selected from the field experimental data for a detailed analysis. After a brief introduction in the multivariate analysis, the main side of the paper covers a dimensional reduction of the accuracy attributes. Based on the factor analysis method, using XLSTAT 7.5.2 software and the determining the numbers of factors for a given level of significance, a given alpha risk.

 Abstract: In this paper we propose to present the acquisition possibilities of the information from the workspace using sensors in order to automate the information flow. The data acquisition methods will be applied on one manufacturing cell that includes a circular palletizing system and a workstation. In this respect, the acquisitioned data from the sensors that offer information about the number of units produced per time unit, the number of the batch and the human operator that supervises the applications will be stocked to be automatically inserted in the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning). The acquisition of these data can be done in two ways: using specially designed hardware and software components which will allow the data to be stored on a computer or using PLC and specific software applications that can be used for controlling the technological equipment of the production system. Will be highlighted the way that the sensor will be positioned from which the information is took and overall functionality of the circular palletizing system.

 

Key words: Enterprise Resource Planning, data achievement, sensors, PLC, informational flow.

Abstract: Meeting the dead lines to retain the customer in this competitive market, complex 3D moulds are a challenge before Die and Mould manufacturers, that too when it is to produce the part without the aid of drawings or design data in a very short time. As manufacturers strive to further optimize the development cycles to maintain market competitiveness, the use of reverse engineering technologies have started to play the pivotal role in the product development cycles. Reverse Engineering has become an increasing part of product development process chains resulting in reduced time to market and reduced development costs. Integration of this technology into existing development cycles provides tools to maintain design integrity during development stages as well as between successive product lines. One aspect of Reverse Engineering is the interfacing of data obtained from this technology to various manufacturing processes. This paper discusses about the work carried out at Central Institute of Tool Design to develop the part by integrating Reverse Engineering process loop and CAD\CAM application to optimize the time and cost in real time tool and mould production.

 

Key words: List Reverse Engineering, mould design, coordinate measuring machine, point cloud data.
