Abstract

The article considers solving the problem of precision cutting of honeycomb blocks. The urgency of using arbitrary shapes application cutting from honeycomb blocks made of modern composite materials is substantiated. The problem is to obtain a cut of the given shape from honeycomb blocks. The complexity of this problem is in the irregular pattern of honeycomb blocks and the presence of double edges, which forces an operator to scan each block before cutting. It is necessary to take into account such restrictions as the place and angle of the cut and size of the knife, its angle when cutting and the geometry of cells. For this problem solving, a robotic complex has been developed. It includes a device for scanning the geometry of a honeycomb block, software for cutting automation and a cutting device itself. The software takes into account all restrictions on the choice of the location and angle of the operating mechanism. It helps to obtain the highest quality cut and a cut shape with the best strength characteristics. An actuating device has been developed and implemented for both scanning and cutting of honeycomb blocks directly. The necessary tests were carried out on real aluminum honeycomb blocks. Some technical solutions are used in the cutting device to improve the quality of cutting honeycomb blocks. The tests have shown the effectiveness of the proposed complex. Robotic planar cutting made it possible to obtain precise cutting with a high degree of repeatability.
