Abstract: We have simulated an aluminum workpiece tool bending process with and without consideration of the heat affected zone after laser cutting with PAM-STAMP 2G. To describe the heat affected zone we have used a customized software option for calculating welded materials and dissimilar ones. We have also provided an analysis of the stress-strain state with a different scale of mechanical properties of the material on its “edge” and in the center of the workpiece.

Abstract: Multi-objective optimization of laser cutting for simultaneous improvement of performance characteristics is of great practical importance. In this study a range of value (ROV)-based Taguchi methodology is proposed for multi-objective optimization of laser cutting, i.e. surface roughness, kerf width and burr height in CO₂ laser cutting of AISI 304 stainless steel. Laser cutting experiment was conducted based on Taguchi’s L₂₇ experimental design by varying the laser power, cutting speed, assist gas pressure and focus position at three levels. In the proposed methodology based on the experimental data signal to noise ratios as per Taguchi’s method were calculated for each experimental trial upon which decision matrix was defined. Subsequently, multi-criteria decision making problem was solved by the ROV method. The proposed ROV-based Taguchi methodology has relatively simple computational procedure and can be easily applied by engineers for solving different multi-objective optimization problems that occur in real manufacturing environment.

Abstract: The experimental researches presented in this paper are aimed to improve the manufacturing accuracy of a contouring machine together with an approach to eliminate the errors which lead to a less precise part after machining.In order to eliminate the errors, the machine's feed drives were tuned leading to a more precise part. In order to validate the proposed approach, the accuracy of the machine was tested before and after the tuning process.

Abstract: Non-oriented silicon iron (NO Fe-Si) alloys are soft magnetic materials used in the construction of medium and high power rotating machines. To obtain efficiency higher than 95%, it is necessary to promote a new design of their magnetic circuits and/or alternative cutting technologies. There were tested steel samples of fully processed non-oriented silicon iron (NO FeSi) grades, M400-65A and M800-65A, with an area of 300 × 30 mm². The magnetic properties were measured with a single strip tester in the range of frequency from 10 ÷ 200 Hz at 1 T peak magnetic polarization. The sheet cutting technologies, involved in this study, are mechanical, laser, water-jetting and electro-erosion.

Abstract: Biodegradable stents have been used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and are often placed inside coronary arteries. The manufacture of Biodegradable stents is an challenging issue because of the features, like geometry design, machine processing way and the material select of stents. An improved manufacturing process of biodegradable stents is presented. The proposed processes consist of the following steps: tube drawing (is use tube sinking manufacture), laser cutting and surface modification (annealing and ultrasonic cleaning). The precision injection and drawing operation is used to obtain the required wall thickness for seamless tube. The laser cutting is performed to change the shape of the stent, and the finishing operations are selected to modify the surface features, like smoothness and texture of stents. The smoothness of surface finish is one of the properties that determine the performance of a stent. Therefore, the surface modification process (vacuum annealing and ultrasonic cleaning) is important in the production of stents and in clinical treatments involving stents. Annealing is the key technology that affects the material’s final crystal grain size. Ultrasonic clean was of the stents to remove the slag (oxides) and burrs formed in laser production. Poly Lactic Acid material sample with an outside-diameter of 1.5 mm, a wall thickness of 0.08 mm, and a length of 10 mm, had been manufactured and demonstrated the proposed manufacture technology. The surface roughness of a stent manufactured is the value of Ra 13.7 nm which basically meets the design requirement for further performance evaluation. It is hoped that the above finding can be used for future study of stents.

Abstract: To ensure the normal operation of the electronic components, packaging technology is widely used in the production process of semiconductors, such as stand-alone device, LSI, super LSI, etc. This approach makes a lot of wasted components stay intact and reused. This paper uses laser cutting technology to remove material from PCB resin potting material, establishes the mathematical model of electronic potting materials, designs precision CNC laser cutting equipment for removing potting material under different circumstance. Using precision laser cutting technique, the resin potting material of waste PCB circuit can be removed, so as to expose entirely electronic components and all the solder joints. The technology has high economic benefit by ensuring electronic component function intact for reuse and improving the utilization rate of resource.
