Production of Layered Composite Materials by Vacuum Forming Using a Robotic Technological System

Purpose. Development of an automated device that provides the specified parameters of the technological process of forming layered composite materials. The main objective of this work was to study the drive of the mobile platform of the developed robotic system implemented on the basis of synchronized linear electric drives equipped with a position control system. 

Methodology. The research methods of the developed robotic system are based on obtaining dynamic parameters of the movement of the executive body and determining the forces and moments of the drives by conducting mathematical modeling of its movement. Taking into account the existing technologies for manufacturing parts from composite materials, it is necessary to develop a layout version of a robotic system for materials based on vacuum infusion, which provides molding of parts from a thermoplastic composite.  By setting the trajectory of the platforms, using differential equations and Coulomb dry friction models, it is necessary to obtain the laws of change in the output force of the drive and determine its technical parameters. 

Results. Using the developed models and setting the trajectory of the executive body, the law of change of the drive force and its mechanical power were obtained. The results of the study include the development of a methodology and an assessment of the parameters of the drive system and will be useful to developers of new mechatronic-type equipment for the manufacture of composite materials.

Conclusion. Modern composites, whose mechanical characteristics are superior to traditional materials, have significantly lower mass, which explains their widespread use in many industries. The developed method of creating an autonomous technological system makes it possible to significantly improve the quality of manufacturing the final product from composite material, through the use of a controlled mechatronic drive of a robotic system for vacuuming composites, providing a given law of motion of the working body.
