I-Chicago Metal Fabricators 'i-fiber laser cutter entsha ayiwona umshini we-gantry.I-X-axis iyisakhiwo sensimbi esinwebeka phakathi nendawo yokusika.Iklanyelwe ukunikeza ukwesekwa okwengeziwe kwamakhanda okusika ngesivinini.Iphinde ivumele ukufinyelela bonke ubude betafula lokusika i-laser.
Itholakala ohlangothini oluseningizimu-ntshonalanga yedolobha, iChicago Metal Fabricators isineminyaka engaphezu kwengu-100 ikhona. Kodwa ngisho nanamuhla, ibonise ukuzimisela ukwamukela ubuchwepheshe bamuva - muva nje ingelinye labasiki abakhulu be-fiber laser e-US
Uma uhamba eduze komkhiqizi, owabelwa ama-bungalows esitayela sase-Chicago kanye namanye amakhaya omndeni owodwa, ungamangala ubukhulu bendawo yomkhiqizi. Ihlanganisa amafidi-skwele angu-200,000, cishe uhhafu wosayizi webhulokhi yedolobha. Kusukela saqalwa ngo-1908, lesi sakhiwo siye sanweba ikamelo elilodwa ngesikhathi.Amakamelo anezindonga zezitini anikeza ithuba kwamanye amagumbi akhiwe ngezitini uze ufinyelele endaweni enkulu ngemva kwesikhungo.
Ekuqaleni kwekhulu lama-20, i-Chicago Metal Fabricators yakha amakhabethe ensimbi nezinhlelo zokufaka amapayipi zisebenzisa imishini yokunyathelisa eshayelwa ama-spool pulleys nama-flywheel agxunyekwe eduze kosilingi;empeleni, izinkampani ezimbalwa zisasebenza ezikhundleni ezifanayo nalezo ezazenza eminyakeni eyikhulu edlule, okuwuphawu lomlando wokukhiqiza wenkampani.Namuhla, igxile ezingxenyeni ezisindayo kanye nemihlangano emikhulu ukusuka kumabhodi ayi-16 kuya ku-3″. kufika ku-300 imisebenzi evulwa nganoma yisiphi isikhathi.
“Sinezindawo ezinkulu zokwakha, ezisindayo,” kusho uRandy Hauser, umongameli weChicago Metal Fabricators.“Kusobala ukuthi njengomakhi wensimbi, ufuna ukuba namatheku amade, kodwa thina asifuni.Sinetheku elikhulu ngemuva, kodwa sinamagumbi amakhulu Amaningi.Ngakho igumbi esasilisebenzisa lalingamaselula.
“Ngokwesibonelo, senza insimbi engagqwali emakamelweni angawodwa ukuze sigweme ukungcoliswa komoya.Bese senza umsebenzi omningi omncane nokuhlanganisa kwamanye amagumbi,” eqhubeka.” Sawenza amaselula umsebenzi wethu ngale ndlela.Kwasizakala ngesimo sethu samanje.”
Njengoba izinhlobo zemisebenzi yokukhiqiza ziye zavela ngokuhamba kweminyaka, kanjalo nesisekelo samakhasimende.I-Chicago Metal Fabricators manje isihlinzeka ngezingxenye zensimbi ze-aerospace, ukusekelwa kwezindiza zezindiza, izimboni zokwakha, izitimela nezamanzi.Eminye imisebenzi intekenteke kakhulu, njenge-12- ingxenye ye-aerospace engama-intshi angu-6. Insimbi ye-A514 idinga ukulawula okushisayo okuyinkimbinkimbi kanye nokuhlolwa kwezinhlayiyana kazibuthe endaweni ngayinye yokushisela ngemva kwesikhathi esingamahora angama-24. Seziphelile izinsuku zokwenza amasistimu amapayipi alula efekthri eseceleni eseningizimu-ntshonalanga.
Nakuba lezi zakhiwo ezinkulu, eziyinkimbinkimbi kanye nokushisela kwenza ingxenye enkulu yebhizinisi lenkampani, u-Hauser uthi isawenza umsebenzi omncane weshidi lensimbi.Ulinganisela ukuthi isabalwa cishe ingxenye yesithathu yebhizinisi lilonke.
Kungakho amakhono amasha okusika i-laser ebaluleke kakhulu enkampanini njengoba ibheka amathuba esikhathi esizayo.
I-Chicago Metal Fabricators yangena ekusikeni nge-laser ngo-2003.Yathenga isisiki selaser esingu-6 kW CO2 esinombhede wokusika oyizinyawo eziyi-10 x 20.
"Esikuthandayo ngayo ukuthi ingakwazi ukuphatha amabhodi amakhulu, asindayo, kodwa futhi sinenani elilinganayo lamabhodi ensimbi," kusho uHauser.
U-Nick DeSoto, unjiniyela wephrojekthi e-Chicago Metal Fabricators, uhlola i-fiber laser cutter entsha njengoba eqeda umsebenzi.
Abakhiqizi bebelokhu benentshisekelo ekunakekeleni, ngakho-ke ama-laser e-CO2 asakwazi ukuletha izingxenye ezisikiwe zekhwalithi ephezulu.Kodwa ukwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi ukusikeka kwe-laser ngendlela efanele ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nezicaciso zekhwalithi kudinga ulwazi oluthe xaxa.Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukugcinwa komzila wensimbi ojwayelekile kudinga umshini. ukuze ungaxhunyiwe ku-inthanethi isikhathi eside.
U-Hauser uthe ubelokhu ebheka ubuchwepheshe bokusika i-fiber laser iminyaka, kodwa wayefuna ukuphishekela ubuchwepheshe ngemuva kokuqinisekiswa. vumela ama-fiber lasers ukuthi asike izinsimbi ezinkulu kunezizukulwane zangaphambili zobuchwepheshe ezingasingatha.
Ukwengeza, wayefuna ukuthola umkhiqizi ozimisele ukwakha ithebula lokusika le-10-by-30-foot ngokwezifiso.Ithebula elikhulu kunawo wonke elijwayelekile lokusika lingamamitha angu-6 x 26, kodwa i-Chicago Metal Fabricators inamabhuleki amabili okucindezela amamitha angu-30 ubude, enkulu kunazo zonke. okuhlinzeka ngamathani angu-1,500 amandla okugoba.
“Kungani uthenge i-26-ft.laser, ngoba uyazi ukuthi i-oda elilandelayo esilitholayo lizoba ngu-27-ft.ingxenye, "kusho u-Hauser, evuma ukuthi inkampani empeleni inezingxenye ezingaba ngu-27-ft.Izingxenye ku-workshop ngalolo suku.
Njengoba ukusesha ama-fiber lasers kuba bucayi kakhulu, umthengisi wamathuluzi omshini uphakamise ukuthi uHauser abheke i-CYLASER.Ngemva kokufunda ngokuhlangana kwesikhathi eside kwenkampani nobuchwepheshe be-fiber laser kanye nolwazi lokwakha imishini yokusika emikhulu, uHauser wayazi ukuthi uthole umphakeli omusha wezobuchwepheshe.
Ngaphambi kokungena endaweni yokusika insimbi, i-CYLASER ibingumkhiqizi wemishini yokushisela engokwezifiso.Iseduze nendawo yokukhiqiza yase-Italy ye-IPG Photonics, umphakeli omkhulu wamandla kagesi we-fiber laser kubakhi bamathuluzi omshini emhlabeni.Lokho kusondela kuye kwenze lezi zinkampani ezimbili. ukuthuthukisa ubudlelwano obuqinile bezobuchwepheshe phakathi neminyaka edlule, ngokusho kwezikhulu zenkampani.
Ekuqaleni kwawo-2000, i-IPG yaqala ukunikeza ama-laser anamandla aphezulu emakethe yokushisela. Yanikeza i-CYLASER ijeneretha ukuze izame, okwajabulisa abathuthukisi bemikhiqizo yenkampani. Ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho, i-CYLASER yathenga ugesi wayo we-fiber laser futhi yaqala ukuyisebenzisela izinhlelo zokusika zensimbi.
Ngo-2005, i-CYLASER yafaka umshini wokuqala wokusika i-laser endaweni yokusebenzela yokukhiqiza e-Schio, e-Italy.Kusuka lapho, inkampani isungule uhla oluphelele lwemishini yokusika ye-2D, imishini yokusika eyi-2D ehlangene kanye ne-tube cutting, kanye nokusika ishubhu ezimele zodwa. imishini.
Umkhiqizi wenza i-fiber laser cutters enkulu kakhulu eYurophu, futhi indlela ehambisana ngayo nokunyakaza kwe-X-axis yekhanda lokusika yavusa isithakazelo sikaHauser.Lesi sicucu se-fiber laser asinalo uhlelo lwendabuko lwe-gantry ukuhambisa ikhanda lokusika ngetafula elikhulu lokusika. ;kunalokho, isebenzisa indlela "yesakhiwo sendiza".
Njengoba i-fiber laser ingadingi ukulandela indlela yesibuko yesibuko se-gantry bridge feed, i-CYLASER ikhululekile ukucabanga ngenye indlela yokuhambisa ikhanda elisika i-laser.Umklamo wesakhiwo sendiza yayo ulingisa iphiko lendiza, elinesisekelo esiyinhloko esinwebeka phansi phakathi nendawo. wephiko.Emklamo wokusika i-laser, i-X-axis iqukethe isakhiwo sensimbi esingaphezulu esikhulula ukucindezeleka futhi sisebenza ngokunemba ngomshini. Yehla maphakathi negumbi lokusika.Isakhiwo sensimbi siphinde sifakwe irack kanye nephini futhi. isistimu yesitimela esinembayo.Ngezansi kwe-eksisi ye-X, i-eksisi ye-Y ixhunywe amasethi amane anembayo anembayo.Lokhu kulungiselelwa kuklanyelwe ukukhawulela noma yikuphi ukugoba kwe-eksisi ye-Y.I-eksisi ye-Z nekhanda lokusika kufakwe ku-eksisi ye-Y.
Izingxenye ezinde ezisetshenziselwa ukufaka izintambo ezakhiweni zezentengiselwano zisikwa kuma-fiber laser cutters amasha futhi zigotshwe emishinini emikhulu yokugoba yenkampani.
Idizayini enkulu ye-gantry etafuleni elingamamitha ayi-10 ububanzi ithwala inertia enkulu, kusho uHauser.
“Angiyithandi neze i-gantry yeshidi elikhulu uma usika futhi ulungisa izinto ezincane ngesivinini esikhulu,” esho.
Imiklamo yesakhiwo sezindiza ivumela abakhiqizi ukufinyelela kunoma yiluphi uhlangothi kanye nobude bonke bekamelo lokusika i-laser.Lokhu kuklama okuguquguqukayo nakho kuvumela abakhiqizi ukuthi babeke izilawuli zomshini cishe noma yikuphi eduze komshini.
I-Chicago Metal Fabricators ithole i-8 kW fiber laser cutter ngo-December 2018. Ine-dual pallet change ukuze umqhubi akwazi ukukhipha izingxenye zamathambo angaphambili futhi alayishe okungenalutho okulandelayo ngenkathi umshini wenza omunye umsebenzi. I-laser ingatholakala futhi ohlangothini uma u-opharetha efuna ukufinyelela okusheshayo, njengokuphonsa izinsalela etafuleni lokusika ukuze asebenze ngokushesha.
I-fiber laser ibilokhu isebenza kusukela ngoFebhuwari ngosizo luka-Nick DeSoto, unjiniyela wephrojekthi we-metal fabricator wase-Chicago, naye owayeyisihluthulelo sokuletha izinqamuli ze-CO2 zenkampani ezindala futhi zigcinwe zisebenza iminyaka.U-Hauser uthe i-laser yenziwe njengoba bekulindelekile.
“Esikutholile emishinini emidala ye-laser ukuthi uma uhamba ngaphezu kwezingxenye ezintathu kwezine ze-intshi, i-laser ingakwazi ukuyisika, kodwa kuyinkinga kakhulu ngekhwalithi yomkhawulo wepuleti,” kusho yena. Kulolo hlu, izisiki zethu ze-plasma ze-HD zilungile ezinhlelweni eziningi.
"Sitshale imali ezinhlobonhlobo zezinto ezibonakalayo kusukela ku-16-gauge kuya ku-0.75-inch kule laser entsha," kusho uHauser.
Amakhanda okusika e-CYLASER aklanyelwe ukunikeza ukusikeka kwekhwalithi ephezulu ezinhlotsheni ezihlukene zezinsimbi ezinobukhulu obuhlukahlukene.Isici se-Vortex silungisa amandla e-beam ngokuhambisana nokugeleza kwegesi nokucindezela, okuholela ekunciphiseni kwemizila nokubukeka okufanayo emiphethweni ye-laser cut, ikakhulukazi izinsimbi ezingenasici 0.3125″ noma ezinkulu.I-Vega igama lomsebenzi wokuguqulwa kwemodi ye-beam yekhanda lokusika, elilungisa usayizi we-beam ngezimo zokusika ezilungile ezimweni ezihlukene.
I-Chicago Metal Fabricators, ecubungula imiqulu emikhulu ye-aluminium nensimbi engagqwali, ishintshe iningi lomsebenzi wabo kwabasiki be-laser abasha. kuhle impela,” kusho yena.
Ezinyangeni zamuva nje, abakhiqizi basebenzise ama-laser amasha e-fiber izinsuku eziyisithupha ngesonto ngamashifu amabili.I-Hauser ilinganisela ukuthi igijima ngokuphindwe kabili kunezinqamuli zayo ezindala ze-CO2 laser.
Izingxenye ezinde ezisetshenziselwa ukufaka izintambo ezakhiweni zezentengiselwano zisikwa kuma-fiber laser cutters amasha futhi zigotshwe emishinini emikhulu yokugoba yenkampani.
"Ngiyajabula ngobuchwepheshe," kusho u-Hauser. "Sidinga kuphela ukufaka i-lens esikhundleni kanye ngonyaka, futhi ukunakekelwa cishe kungamaphesenti angu-30 we-CO2 yethu ekhishwayo.Isikhathi [nge-laser entsha] asikwazanga ukuba ngcono. ”
Ngokusebenza nobukhulu be-fiber laser cutter yayo entsha, i-Chicago Metal Fabricators manje isinamandla amasha ekholelwa ukuthi azoyisiza ithuthukise isisekelo samakhasimende ayo.Ukusho ukuthi lokhu kuyinto enkulu akulona ihaba.
