Design of a Hyper-flexible cell for handling 3D Carbon fiber fabric
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper presents the main design concepts of a hyper-flexible cell for low-volume industrial aircraft manufacturers. The cell is served by two cooperative robots, each of them equipped with a simple and reliable adaptive prehensor, purposely developed for the robust handling of limp carbon-fiber preforms. Some details are given about the adopted picking technology and results obtained on a purposely developed test bench on the first physical prototype of the new picking module are presented. Keywords—Flexible manufacturing cell, Dexterous handling, Soft material, Robotics.

متن کاملStochastic reconstruction of carbon fiber paper gas diffusion layers of PEFCs: A comparative study
A 3D microstructure of the non-woven gas diffusion layers (GDLs) of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) is reconstructed using a stochastic method. For a commercial GDL, due to the planar orientation of the fibers in the GDL, 2D SEM image of the GDL surface is used to estimate the orientation of the carbon fibers in the domain. Two more microstructures with different fiber orientations are g...

The present investigation presents a stochastic model for a flexible manufacturing system consisting of flexible machine, loading/unloading robot and an automated pallethandling device. We consider unreliable flexible manufacturing cell (FMC) wherein machine and robot operate under individual as well as common cause random failures. The pallethandling system is completely reliable. The pallet o...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Disposable Electrochemical Sensor based on Nanocomposite/Ionic Liquid Assisted Hollow Fiber-Graphite Electrode for Measurement of Lorazepam Using Central Composite Design
In this study a new method of preconcentration, separation and efficient measuring of so-called hollow fiber solid / liquid phase microextraction has been introduced for the determination of trace amounts of lorazepam (LRZ) in water samples, urine and hair using differential pulse voltammetry. To this end, a hybrid adsorbent material was used that involved ionic liquid assisted magnetic multi-w...
