| Abstract Scope |
A linear-rotational actuator manipulator has been developed to support lab-scale forging experiments to evaluate cogging operations with an open-die press. The robotic actuator is designed to hold a metal bar, enables rotation and translation relative to the press and affords the ability to be used in conjunction with and induction heater. This experimental capability allows for the study of path-dependent deformation sequences that can inform deformation models. Due to the significant reactionary forces during the forging operations, some deviation between intended and actual deformation path have been observed. Python has been used to collect sensor data to determine appropriate thresholds and control parameters to optimize electronic motor control and facilitate accurate deformation paths during forging. Feedback on the rotational and linear position of the bar would allow implementation of a PID controller to reduce error. |
