Multi-Robot Scan-n-Print for Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing

  • 用三台机器人实时扫描层高并动态调整路径速度
  • 闭环控制使复杂涡轮叶片的打印误差显著降低
  • 适合对金属3D打印精度要求高的工业场景

机器人化线弧增材制造(WAAM)是一种灵活且能实现近净成形高质量金属零件的增材制造技术。然而,对于铝等低熔点金属,其几何精度仍存在偏差。本文提出一种多机器人框架用于WAAM过程监控与控制,采用三机器人配置:一台6自由度焊接机器人、一台2自由度回转平台和一台带腕式激光线扫描仪的6自由度传感机器人,实时测量打印件高度剖面。焊接参数(如送丝速率)根据材料固定,控制输入为机器人路径速度,输出为层高数据。规划阶段将目标形状切分为等高截面;运行时,传感机器人扫描每层,依据实际与目标剖面偏差,通过已建立的路径速度-高度变化模型调整下一层路径速度。控制架构协调各机器人与传感器的同步运动与数据采集。在三机器人WAAM实验平台上,闭环扫描-打印方法在平面墙和复杂涡轮叶片结构上均显著优于开环结果。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Robotic Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is a metal additive manufacturing technology, offering flexible 3D printing while ensuring high quality near-net-shape final parts. However, WAAM also suffers from geometric imprecision, especially for low-melting-point metal such as aluminum alloys. In this paper, we present a multi-robot framework for WAAM process monitoring and control. We consider a three-robot setup: a 6-dof welding robot, a 2-dof trunnion platform, and a 6-dof sensing robot with a wrist-mounted laser line scanner measuring the printed part height profile. The welding parameters, including the wire feed rate, are held constant based on the materials used, so the control input is the robot path speed. The measured output is the part height profile. The planning phase decomposes the target shape into slices of uniform height. During runtime, the sensing robot scans each printed layer, and the robot path speed for the next layer is adjusted based on the deviation from the desired profile. The adjustment is based on an identified model correlating the path speed to change in height. The control architecture coordinates the synchronous motion and data acquisition between all robots and sensors. Using a three-robot WAAM testbed, we demonstrate significant improvements of the closed loop scan-n-print approach over the current open loop result on both a flat wall and a more complex turbine blade shape.
