Presses For Designing Flexible Pipes Correction, Finite Elements Analysis And Prepearing “G” Code For Construction Elements Of Plasma Cutter

Abstract

With the development of computer technology the cost of designing and prototyping mechanical structures is greatly reduced. Software packages that have appeared on the market offer incredible opportunities to constructor, and computers that are developing exponentially, allowing obtaining results in a small period of time. Constructor’s primary task was in a short period of time to correct the press constructed of flexible pipes for the heating system, which was supposed to meet the definition of requirements: 1. To have as less as it’s possible parts, so as not to lose when working in the field, 2. To cover the three pipe diameters using, 3. To be as less as it’s possible mass. Design of mechanical parts and assembly is done in SolidWorks, and after that the finite element analysis performed in the same program. After alteration of the model (assembly) and several analyzes we obtained a final model that satisfied all the conditions given. Technical documentation is done, and then transferred to the final parts of CATIA software package which has been done generation "G" code that was optimized for the control unit Siemens SINUMERIK 840D. It was made after testing the prototype and the press went into production. This paper gives all information about work done during resolving of that tasks.
