Empirical Modeling and Vision Based Control for Laser Aided Metal Deposition Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper gives a brief description of the laser aided manufacturing process. Empirical models describing the process dynamics of the laser aided metal deposition process is developed based on some of the models found in the literature. These models provide the basis for process planning and real time control. An embedded vision system, a two color temperature sensor, and a laser displacement sensor are incorporated for real time monitoring and control of the deposition process. The temperature profile of the surface and geometric characteristics of the melt pool are studied to ensure consistent operation of the process.

متن کاملApplications of a Hybrid Manufacturing Process for Fabrication and Repair of Metallic Structures
Since its appearance, rapid prototyping technology has been of interest to various industries that are looking for a process to produce/build a part directly from a CAD model in a short time. Among them, the direct metal deposition process is the only process which directly manufactures a fully dense metal part without intermediate steps. However, challenges of the direct metal deposition proce...
متن کاملModeling and Verification of Temperature Distribution and Residual Stress in Laser Aided Metal Deposition Process
Laser Metal Deposition is a novel, robust technique to manufacture or repair complex aerospace parts. However, as this process is very complicated and often operating at very high temperature, the resulting material behavior is hard to predict. The strain and stress induced by large thermal gradients in the fabrication process may cause parts failure such as cracking and distortion, so it is es...
متن کاملOnline Melt Pool Temperature Control for Laser Metal Deposition Processes
Melt pool temperature is of great importance to deposition quality in Laser Metal Deposition processes. To control the melt pool temperature, an empirical process model describing the relationship between the temperature and process parameters (i.e., laser power, powder flow rate, and traverse speed) is established and verified experimentally. A general tracking controller using the Internal Mo...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Melt Pool Tracking Vision System for Laser Deposition
This paper chronicles the development of a vision system for tracking melt pool morphology in the laser metal deposition process. This development is to augment an existing temperature feedback control system. Monitoring both the temperature and shape of the melt pool is necessary because of the effects of local geometry on the cooling rate at the melt pool. Temperature feedback alone cannot ac...
