基于机器人的水冷机壳低压铸造控制系统设计

Design of Control System for Low Pressure Casting Water-cooled Shell Based on Robot

为解决水冷机壳低压铸造过程中,工人劳动强度大、生产效率低以及高温作业存在安全隐患等问题,拟采用机器人完成下芯及后续的取件工作,因此需重新设计水冷机壳低压铸造生产工艺并进行时序优化。根据新的生产工艺,设计工具快换台及其他辅助装置,并对系统各组成设备进行重新布局;采用PLC作为控制核心,对系统各组成部分实现精准联动控制,实现下芯动作与取件动作之间快速、准确的切换,提高水冷机壳低压铸造的自动化水平。

In order to solve the problems of high labor intensity,low production efficiency and potential safety hazards in high-temperature operations during the low-pressure casting water-cooled shell,it is planned to use robots to complete the core-removing and the part-removing.Therefore,it is necessary to redesign the low-pressure casting process of water-cooled shell and optimize the time sequence.According to the new production process,fast changing platform for tools and other auxiliary devices were designed,and the components of the system was re-arranged.As the control core,PLC can realize the precise linkage control of all components of the system and the fast accurately switching between the core-removing action and the part-removing action,and improve the automation of low-pressure casting of the water-cooled shell.
