Abstract

Conventional robotic wire arc additive manufacturing technologies enable the rapid production of moderate-sized components using low-cost wire feedstocks and robotic welding systems. Efforts to date have primarily focused on single robot solutions. However, new configurations are possible with coordination of multiple robots and multi-degree of freedom positioners. This paper describes a new multi-agent control paradigm that enables multiple robots to work collaboratively on manufacturing a single component on a rotating platform. The advantages of this approach are increased deposition rate and productivity. This paper demonstrates this control strategy on a 19 degrees-of-freedom platform based on three wire arc additive systems surrounding a single rotating platform.

一种可扩展的多机器人大型电弧增材制造系统策略
传统的机器人焊丝电弧增材制造技术可以使用低成本的焊丝原料和机器人焊接系统快速生产中等尺寸的部件。迄今为止的努力主要集中在单个机器人的解决方案上。然而,通过多机器人和多自由度定位器的协调,新的配置是可能的。本文描述了一种新的多智能体控制模式,该模式使多个机器人能够在旋转平台上协同工作以制造单个部件。这种方法的优点是提高了沉积速度和生产率。本文在一个围绕单个旋转平台的三线电弧附加系统的19自由度平台上演示了该控制策略。
