Catapults are war instruments that have been used for centuries; the author of the first catapult is not known with certainty, although many scholars agree that their first appearance could have occurred in China. At first, they were operated by human power, with a dozen men pulling a rope to run the mechanism. Later came the trebuchet, an invention attributed to Mardi Ibn Ali al- Tarsusi , a type of catapult that uses the potential energy of a counterweight to launch the projectile further and with more power than with the old catapults. Today, we can find several mechanisms that use the same principle as the trebuchet. In this work, the geometrical modelling, the mechanical analysis, its functioning, and the actual scale reproduction of the device are carried out.

After the process of design, selection of materials, prototyping and manufacture of an enclosure intended to protect electronic systems installable outdoors, it remains to describe the behavior of these enclosures, in order to ensure that the electronics installed inside are protected from the environment in which it is installed. For this, different tests of mechanical, thermal, natural aging, artificial aging and sealing natures must be accomplished. For some of the afore mentioned examinations there are directly applicable regulations, while in more specific situations, the particularities of the enclosure and its use requirements, force to an adaptation of the procedures applied to these requirements. Based on this, a method and a test plan are proposed to make sure that the system is protected against the environmental conditions in which it is installed, both for the purposes of humidity, solid particles, mechanical or thermal stresses, as for the action of aging by ultraviolet radiation among other circumstances.

The assembly of an aircraft is executed by performing a series of assembly operations, which are carried out following specific instructions called work instructions. In addition, the quality control of these operations is performed following verification instructions. Traditionally, these work and verification instructions were based on 2D documentation (on paper or digital screen), prepared by manufacturing engineering, and made available to operators by manufacturing engineering systems (MES) when required. Over the last decade, Airbus has made significant progress in ensuring the digital continuity of processes, exploiting information from the industrial digital mock-up (iDMU) downstream, favoring the preparation and use of assembly and quality instructions through new techniques, such as lightweight 3D viewers, or augmented reality. This paper describes experiences of implementation of augmented reality (based on laser or holographic technology) in the workshop, both for assembly and quality processes. Several use cases are analyzed, comparing both technologies, explaining their pros and cons, and justifying the use of each of them in each process.

In times when companies must respond efficiently to market demands, reverse engineering plays a fundamental role. Although design processes are commonly developed with digital workflows, in reverse engineering different and independent phases with bottlenecks between them are involved. The present work addresses the challenge of establishing a continuous and efficient data flow between the three-dimensional digitized data obtained with 3D scanning and the automatic generation of NC toolpaths. A methodology is developed for the generation and optimization of NC toolpaths directly from the 3D point cloud data obtained through the three-dimensional scanning of pre-existing geometries. The methodology consists of an algorithm developed with Grasshopper, a script for visual programming in Rhino’s interface. It does not only attempt to reconstruct the three-dimensional geometry of the scanned part but also, it directly generates the tool paths and optimizes them with evolutionary optimization algorithms that are integrated in the methodology. A case study is developed for TMU-SIO TOWGTAI machining center with the proposed methodology. Finally, the obtained results and the efficiency of the methodology are analyzed and presented.

Automation of welding with robotic arms has become an inevitable trend in modern manufacturing technologies. This process can be automated by using a "click and go" in which the robot will weld a line where the spot is described or by using an in-line tracking algorithm in which the robot will choose the spot where to weld the line in each layer. This paper presents a simple methodology for the reconstruction of the weld joint and the classification of the joint geometry to serve as a first step to the automatic determination of the robot trajectory. The weld joint has been reconstructed using a laser profilometer placed as a tool on the robot. Spurious data has been removed by signal processing. The joint has been reconstructed three-dimensionally. The classification of the joint profiles was generated using an algorithm based on signal processing and artificial intelligence. This algorithm has been tested for the classification of V-joints (bevel-bevel) and single bevel joints.

This work aims to perform a scientific mapping using advanced tools and R libraries to evaluate from a quantitative and qualitative point of view the evolution of the field of Additive Manufacturing (AM). A descriptive analysis of the data will be applied for the creation of attributes that allow its normalization and the visualization of its temporal evolution, as well as the measurement of the impact of the sources and the frequency of publication using Lotka's law. With all this, the weight and importance of AM in the evolution of different fields (materials science, engineering, computer science, etc.) will be established and the trend in research work will be analyzed both quantitatively (evolution of the number of publications in each field, quantitative impact indexes of publications and qualitatively. All this will allow the reader to know, on the one hand, the temporal evolution of advanced in AM, and on the other hand, the reader will be able to have a "still picture" of the current situation that can be taken as references for the prospective analysis of the technique in a complementary way to that provided in business studies.

The objective of this work is to develop and validate a Digital Twin (DT) for a multistage production line of tapered roller bearings. The manufacturing process consists of ring machining and component assembly, including intensive quality controls. This work proposes the integration of machine learning models associated with the manufacture of the double outer ring and the two inner rings in the DT. The models are trained with real data, so that the DT can predict the behavior of the production process under changing conditions of ongoing processes, machines or materials, and optimal operating conditions can be predicted. The DT has been developed and integrated with the aim of guiding production by proposing optimal machine configurations. To this end, different stations have been modeled and integrated into the DT as independent modules: grinding machines, inner and outer rings pairing module, and a module for calculating the optimal family of rings to be ground. After integrating the DT in the line, results show not only a raise in the line efficiency but also a decrease in the overall scrap ratio.

With the advancement of globalization and the growth of Industry 4.0, it is necessary to apply new concepts and methods for manufacturing to increase the productive capacity and efficiency of processes. These concepts allow the application of intelligent manufacturing within the Aerospace industry, responsible for transforming manufacturing processes using software technologies based on artificial intelligence, to automate the Sheet Metal Parts modeling process and get more accurate data. Therefore, it applies to Models for Manufacturing (MfM) in product projects, a recent methodology that presents an organization for formally defined information and knowledge. However, MfM does not consider information tracing and inconsistency analysis in the modeling phases. Based on this paradigm, a solution is proposed by developing and adopting methods, processes, and tools of Ontology-Based Engineering based on the MfM model to obtain data. In addition, Semantic Technologies are used for data processing through an OWL structure, also formalizing the information through semantic rules in SWRL. This research aims to: (I) Obtain data extracted from Sheet Metal Parts and structure them from ontology; (II) Formalize information about this data using semantic rules; (III) Validate information between product and manufacturing projects to identify and address inconsistencies in advance.

The world is experiencing constant changes due to emerging technologies and business globalization. Industry 4.0 is causing paradigms to change at an industrial level, which, together with the technological advance of communication networks and the internet, will allow for achieving complete digitization of manufacturing processes. Digitization solutions implementation is hampered by the lack of adequate management procedures and methodologies to simplify the requirements analysis and the incorporation of improvements using I4.0.There are several methodologies for managing and controlling projects, but they need to adapt according to the required migration of systems from Industry 3.0 to Industry 4.0. A literature review has allowed identifying the most important characteristics of industry 4.0 based on the main digital enablers. Nowadays, any migration of technological systems also requires using an appropriate management methodology, replacing or complementing the traditional waterfall methodology, that can be easily controlled and where errors can be predicted and corrected in the shortest possible time. These new tools are important to facilitate the implementation of I4.0, especially in regions and companies with a low tradition of adaptation to technological changes.In this work, a novel concurrent methodology framework based on engineering and adapted Scrum work is proposed to implement I4.0 technology migration, using technology enablers. It was designed to provide several advantages, namely: feedback provided every certain period of time to correct errors, the use of multidisciplinary teams, and its easy implementation. This adapted Scrum & concurrent methodology framework will offer a new management approach to the I4.0 transition projects, which we expect can be applied at the industrial level, especially in developing countries.

The emerging technologies presented by the fourth industrial revolution present new opportunities across the entire industrial sector. Among those paradigms that have seen rapid and significant growth in recent years are Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), collectively known as Extended Reality (XR). These technologies provide a wide range of unexplored solutions across the manufacturing industry, that promise to improve the effectiveness and speed of various existing processes. One such activity that could potentially stand to benefit from XR is the project and development of End of Arm Tooling (EOAT) for robot applications.The initial purpose of this work is to first study the XR technologies, their current applications across various industries, and the hardware and software involved in their use and development. Then, the main goal is to develop XR solutions to aid in the project, development, and assembly of EOAT systems for extracting injected parts from a mould. Checking in with industry professionals throughout the development of a VR application, the functionalities were tailored to their needs.
