The manufacture of aircraft forged components is an important part of the aviation industry, which involves complex manufacturing processes, high precision requirements, and high production difficulty. Traditional manual manufacturing methods can no longer meet market needs, so automation technology plays an increasingly important role in aircraft forged component manufacturing.
At present, the progress of automation application in aircraft forged component manufacturing mainly focuses on three aspects: the automation of traditional processing methods, the intelligent manufacturing of forged component manufacturing processes using advanced robots, and the construction of an information management system based on Internet technology. Taking a project of an aviation company as an example, we will introduce these three aspects separately.
Firstly, the automation of traditional processing methods makes aircraft forged component manufacturing more efficient. In the traditional cold extrusion process, operators need to manually adjust the positions of various components, which greatly affects production efficiency and product quality. By introducing CNC machine tools and automatic adjustment devices, operators can remotely operate the control system to complete the adjustment between the various components, reducing human intervention and improving processing speed and manufacturing accuracy.
Secondly, the intelligent manufacturing of forged components using advanced robots has greatly improved the precision and repeatability of aircraft forged component manufacturing. Through the robots, operators can achieve intelligent control of various stages of the forging process without human intervention in complex environments such as aerodynamics and manufacturing. One type of flight control system uses cross-type robots, which have provided more convenient and efficient applications in flight use and maintenance processes.
Finally, the construction of an information management system based on Internet technology brings more advantages to aircraft forged component manufacturing. This system uses cloud computing and big data technology to realize information sharing and exchange in the manufacturing process, thereby improving decision-making speed and accuracy and making production management more refined and efficient. At the same time, a certain component manufacturing factory also introduces the Internet of Things technology to achieve real-time monitoring and management of equipment and process, ensuring the efficient and stable operation of production lines.
