Research for Rectangular Coordinate CNC Pipe Profile Cutting & Welding Integrative Equipment

Abstract:

The rectangular coordinate CNC pipe profile cutting & welding integrative equipment is researched for the requirements of cutting and automatic welding of complicated butt pipes intersection lines. The mechanical structure of the equipment is that the workpiece is placed onto the supports, the chuck is carried out with limitless rotary movement. The main body for holding cutting torch and welding torch is adopted with cantilever arm traveling structure, and is controlled by six-axis digital AC servo system. The CNC system is developed based on Windows operation system, and it is a kind of pure software open architecture. RTX real-time extension technology is adopted to realize the high real-time requirement in motion control. The minimum deviation method is used to realize the interpolation algorithm of curve which describes the space track of intersection line. The equipment has realized the pipe cutting for blanking and welding for assembling at the same working position, and can meet the requirements for automatic pipe processing technology.
