Eminye imibono emihle ihloselwe ukuhlala, eminye iba ngcono.Kanjalo nesilawuli sokugeleza kweCates, esasungulwa ngo-1957 ngumenzi wezinsimbi waseChicago uWillard Cates.Kusukela lapho, umklamo wayo wokuqala ubulokhu uthuthukiswa njalo.Manje ingatholakala kukho konke kusukela emigqeni yokupenda yerobhothi yezimoto zomndeni kuya kumasistimu okuxuba uketshezi kanye ne-dosing, izitshalo ze-hydrogen ezinomfutho ophezulu, imishini yokucubungula i-semiconductor kanye nemishini yokwenza amakhekhe esiNgisi.
Ngo-1984, uCates wathengisa inkampani yakhe yokuklama i-valve kanye nokukhiqiza kuFrank Taube II, owabe esehambisa ukukhiqizwa endaweni okukhona manje eMadison Heights, Michigan.Le nkampani manje isiphethwe yindodana yephini likamengameli, uJohn Taube, kanye nonkosikazi kamengameli, uSusan, abaguqule igama labo bathi iCustom Valve Concepts (CVC) ngo-2005.
Nakuba ama-valve okulawula i-Kates ehlala “ewumkhiqizo oyinhloko” wenkampani ekhiqizayo eneminyaka engu-80 ubudala, i-CVC kanye nethimba layo lomakhenikha abangaphezu kuka-40, onjiniyela nabasebenzi abasekelayo bahlinzeka ngezinsizakalo eziningi ezihlanganisa ukuklama kwezimboni kanye nokwenza imishini enembile.Inkampani futhi isebenzisa amathuluzi athuthukile okukhiqiza kanye nesoftware ukuze kuqinisekiswe impumelelo yesikhathi esizayo.
Ilungu elibalulekile leqembu le-CVC, Umphathi Wezobuchwepheshe Bomkhiqizo u-Vitaliy Cisyk uyaziqhenya kakhulu ngomlando omude noyimpumelelo we-Kates Self-Regulating Valves.“Lona wumkhiqizo oyingqayizivele,” esho.“Siyaziklama, siyazakha futhi sizivivinye, futhi sizithumela emhlabeni wonke ukuze zifakwe izicelo ezingenakubalwa.Lapho sibuzwa ukuthi konakelephi, impendulo yathi, “Lutho, sivele sacabanga ukuthi sekuyisikhathi sesondlo.'”
UCisyk umusha kulo msebenzi, njengoba ejoyine i-CVC ekuqaleni kuka-2021, kodwa wathuthuka ngokushesha.Ngokushesha, uCisyk waqala ukwethula ubuchwepheshe obuthuthukisiwe ukwandisa izinga lokukhula nokusebenza kahle kwesitolo.Omunye kwakuwumkhiqizo wesofthiwe ophumelelayo awusungula ngesikhathi esebenzela i-BMT Aerospace USA Inc., umkhiqizi omkhulu wokuthumela izinto eduze kwaseFraser, eMichigan.
“I-BMT Aerospace ithole i-VERICUT, isofthiwe yokulingisa ye-CNC eyakhiwe yi-CGTech e-Irvine, eCalifornia, ukugwema ukungqubuzana kumazinga e-DIXI e-DMG Mori anembayo ephezulu,” kusho uCisyk.“Ngiwubhekile lo mshini ngatshela abaphathi ukuthi sidinga ukutshala imali ekulingiseni indlela yamathuluzi nesoftware yokwenza kahle.Kodwa-ke, ukusetshenziswa kwayo ngokushesha kwasakazekela kweminye imishini, ikakhulukazi kumashini ama-axis amahlanu.Asikho isitolo okufanele sibe ngaphandle kwayo.”
Isimo esifanayo ne-CVC.Le nkampani inohlu lwemishini ehlaba umxhwele ngokulinganayo, okuhlanganisa i-Mazak, i-Okuma 5-axis systems kanye nemishini yokugaya i-Haringe Y-axis turn-mill, izikhungo zokujika zesitayela saseSwitzerland kanye neminye imishini ye-CNC.
Imishini eminingi ifakwe amasistimu okuthola i-Renishaw namarula engilazi ukuze kube nokunemba okuthuthukisiwe.Lokhu kuvumela i-CVC ukuthi icubungule uhla olubanzi lwezingxenye eziyinkimbinkimbi kanye nenhlanganisela yezinto ze-eclectic, kusukela ku-Hastelloy ne-Stellite kuya e-Delrin, i-PVC ne-PEEK.
I-CVC iphinde yathatha izinyathelo zayo zokuqala ekukhiqizeni okungeziwe kusetshenziswa iphrinta ye-Markforged 3D njengengxenye yokubamba iqhaza kwenkampani kuphrojekthi ye-Automation Alley eTroy, eMichigan kuphrojekthi ye-DIAOnD, umkhankaso “onikezelwe ekusizeni abakhiqizi ukuthi balinganise ukuze bakhulise ukuguquguquka kwabo kanye nokusimama Imboni yabo 4.0 ″.umsebenzi.”
UCisyk weseka ngokuphelele noma yini ehlobene ne-Industry 4.0, yize eshesha ukuveza ukuthi iphrinta yethulwa ekuqaleni ukuze ibhekane nokushoda kwezingxenye ze-PPE nezingxenye zokuphefumula ngesikhathi sodlame.Manje isisetshenziselwa izidingo ezingaphuthumi kangako njengamajigi okuphrinta, izipontshi ezithambile, izinto ezilungiswayo nezinye izingxenye zokuhlola.
“Ukusetshenziswa kokugcina kubonakala kuwukunethezeka, kodwa noma unohlelo oluhle lwe-CAM, kuhle ukuba nengxenye ethembekile ezandleni zakho,” kusho uCisyk.“Kukusiza ukuthi ubone ngeso lengqondo indlela owenza ngayo umsebenzi, yimaphi amathuluzi ongawasebenzisa, ukuthi badinga ukunwebeka kude kangakanani, futhi uthole imibono kwabanye.Kuphinde kusize uhlelo lomnyango olusezingeni lokusebenzisa amathuluzi nokulinganisa izidingo zemishini.”
Nokho, i-VERICUT ibe nomthelela omkhulu esitolo se-CVC.Ngokushesha ngemva kokuthenga isofthiwe (ngaphambi kokuba itholakale kabanzi), inkampani yaqala ukucubungula ama-oda amaningi e-prototype ayinkimbinkimbi.U-Cisik wachaza ukuthi, ngokusebenzisa amandla ohlelo lwezingxoxo, i-CVC yayivame ukuphumelela ekuhlangabezaneni nezidingo zesikhashana, kodwa kulokhu kwakukhona izinkinga ngengxenye yekhwalithi nokuphila kwamathuluzi lapho kwenziwa ama-cavities amancane, ajulile endaweni yokusebenza.
Ngemva kokuchitha amahora ambalwa, i-CVC ithumele uhlelo ethimbeni lokuthuthukisa umshini kwanhlanga zimuka nomoya.“Balungise okuthile base bekubuyisela kithina, kwangasebenza,” kuzikhalela uCisyk.“Lo msebenzi ubudinga umshini wokugcwalisa umshini ongu-0.045” [1.14mm], futhi noma yini esasiyizama, yayinqamula ingxenye futhi ilimaze ithuluzi.”
Nakuba i-VERICUT ingazange isetshenziswe ngokugcwele, i-Cisyk kanye namakhenikha basebenze ndawonye ukuxazulula inkinga.Ngemuva kokubuyekeza okusheshayo kokuthi yini esebenzile nengasebenzi, banqume ukuthi izinketho zokusika ezikhethwe ukulawula inkhulumomphendvulwano bezinodlame kakhulu.Ngakho-ke i-duo yanquma ukwenza kahle uhlelo nge-Force, i-CGTech's physics-based CNC program optimization software module ukuze ihlaziye futhi ithuthukise izimo zokusika.
“Imiphumela ibimangalisa!”Kusho uZisek.“Izingxenye seziqediwe futhi zisezingeni eliphezulu, amathuluzi okusika asaphelele, akusekho ukubhoboza.Njengabochwepheshe abaningi bemishini nabahleli bezinhlelo, ozakwethu bebengabaza ukuthi sithenge i-VERICUT okokuqala, kodwa kulokhu izehlakalo zamqinisekisa.”
Lesi simo sengqondo asivamile.Ukwamukela ubuchwepheshe obusha kuhlale kuyinselele, kusho uCisyk, ikakhulukazi kubasebenzi abanolwazi olunzulu abanamakhono abalulekile okwenza izinhlelo.“Wonke umuntu unombono wendlela engcono kakhulu yokwenza ingxenye ethile.Yize siyaziqhenya ngabo futhi sithokozela igalelo labo, i-VERICUT ithwebula lokho abantu abangakwazi ukukwenza,” wengeza.Uma usubabonisile lokhu noma uvimbele ingozi engabiza amashumi ezinkulungwane zamaRandi, ukungabaza kuzophela.”
"Phakathi ne-workshop yokugcina ne-CGTech, baxoxisana nabahlanganyeli, futhi ngamangala ukuthola ukuthi abantu abaningi abakakasebenzisi i-Force," u-Cisyk uyavuma.“Ngokuhlangenwe nakho kwami kwaForce, ngingakutshela ukuthi kweminye imisebenzi sehlise izikhathi zamabhayisikili ngamaphesenti angu-12-25.Kodwa ngisho nokuthuthukiswa kwamaphesenti ambalwa nje, impilo yamathuluzi ikhule kakhulu.Kwenze inqubo yavumelana futhi yabikezelwa.”
Nakuba uCisyk esanda kuqala imizamo yakhe yokuthuthukisa eqhubekayo, useyawenza umehluko."U-Vitaly ungunjiniyela onolwazi kakhulu futhi wafunda ngokushesha izinzuzo ze-VERICUT kanye ne-Force," kusho uMark Benedetti, u-CGTech Sales Engineer."Kulula ukusebenzisana naye ngoba uyakuqonda ukukhiqizwa kwe-CNC."
I-CVC ifake imishini yokuthengisa ye-MSC Industrial consumables, yasebenzisa i-Mastercam ye-CNC Software ukuze ithuthukise amakhono akhona e-GibbsCAM, futhi imise ukuphathwa kwamathuluzi namasu okusetha ngaphambilini ungaxhunyiwe ku-inthanethi.
“VERICUT, isistimu ye-CAM enamandla kanye nokusethwa kusengaphambili kwebhakhodi ezimele.Yilokho, bam!Manje usunohlelo oluvaliwe,” kubabaza uCisyk.“Lena yiyona ndlela eya phambili kodwa asikayitholi induku ngoba sithatha amagxathu amancane futhi siyazi ukuthi kumele siqedele umsebenzi owodwa ngaphambi kokuthi sidlulele komunye.Kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo kuyadingeka ngempela.”Ukuphathwa Kwamathuluzi Lokhu kukhulu.Izinkampani zilahlekelwa yimali eningi ngoba azazi.Kuyisici esingaziwa.”
Okwaziwa kakhulu umphumela we-VERICUT ekusebenzeni kwe-CVC."Silindele ukukhula okwengeziwe, kodwa ukuze ubhekane ngokuphumelelayo nalokhu, udinga izinqubo ezinokwethenjelwa, ezikwazi ukukhiqiza kabusha," kusho uCisyk, enezela ukuthi lokhu kudinga ukuzethemba ohlelweni.
Uphethe ngokuthi, “Ngakho-ke, yebo, usemkhulu umsebenzi okufanele wenziwe, kodwa okwamanje, ngiyajabula ukwazi ukuthi sinendawo yokuhlela engenazo iziphazamisi namaphutha ngaphandle kwezimanga ezikhungethe izitolo eziningi zemishini..Lokhu kuhlinzekwe ngabakwa-VERICUT.”
