Automation in Foundry Industry: Modern Information and Cyberphysical Systems

Abstract

Automation of foundry production, as part of the upcoming sixth technological way, is developing due to the introduction of: cyberphysical systems, industrial Internet, IoT industry, smart production, industry 4.0, cloud computing and neural networks. Now manual labor in the field of foundry production, at the stages of finishing the materials, still prevails. Cyberphysical systems based on manipulation robots effectively solve problems of abrasive stripping of parts after casting. The positional solution of the task of precise bring of a part to the surface of a machining tool, supplemented with force control, complicates the system. The equipment of the manipulation robot with a control system based on the neural network controller providing the solution of the inverse task of kinematics is considered taking into account the interaction force of the workpiece with the disc of the abrasive tool. The performed comparison of the analytical and experimental solutions showed that the accuracy of the abrasive treatment is approximately the same and is within the normative values. At the same time, the complexity of developing the control algorithm when using the neural network control method is much lower
