LOS ANGELES - Ua hāʻawi aku ka US Air Force iā Machina Labs i kahi ʻaelike $1.6 miliona e holomua a hoʻolōʻihi i ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka ʻenehana robotic o ka hui no ka hana ʻana i nā mole metala no ka hana kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe.
ʻO ka mea nui, e kālele ana ʻo Machina Labs i ka hana ʻana i nā mea hana metala no ka hoʻōla wikiwiki ʻana i ka hana non-autoclave o nā composites. Ke ʻimi nei ka Air Force i nā ala e hoʻonui ai i ka hana a hoʻemi i ke kumukūʻai o nā ʻāpana composite no nā kaʻa lewa kanaka a me ka ʻole. Ma muli o ka nui a me ka waiwai, hiki ke kūʻai ʻia nā mea hana no ka hana ʻana i nā ʻāpana hui mokulele ma luna o $1 miliona i kēlā me kēia, me ka manawa alakaʻi o 8 a 10 mau mahina.
Ua hoʻokumu ʻo Machina Labs i kahi kaʻina hana robotic hou e hiki ke hana i nā ʻāpana metala nui a paʻakikī i ka liʻiliʻi o hoʻokahi pule me ka ʻole o ka pono o nā mea hana pipiʻi. Ke hana nei ka hui, hana pū kekahi mau robots nui, ʻeono-axis AI mai nā ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe e hana i kahi ʻāpana metala, e like me ka hoʻohana ʻana o nā mea hana akamai i nā hamare a me nā anvils e hana i nā ʻāpana metala.
Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia kēia hana e hana i nā ʻāpana metala mai ke kila, aluminika, titanium, a me nā metala ʻē aʻe. Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia e hana i nā mea hana no ka hana ʻana i nā ʻāpana composite.
Ma lalo o kahi aelike mua me ka Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), ua hōʻoia ʻo Machina Labs i kāna mau mea kani ke kūpaʻa ʻole, thermally a dimensionally stable, a ʻoi aku ka wela ma mua o nā mea metala kuʻuna.
"Ua hōʻike ʻo Machina Labs e hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia kāna ʻenehana hana metala me nā envelopp nui a me ʻelua robots e hana i nā mea hana metala composite, ka hopena i ka hoʻemi nui ʻana i nā kumukūʻai mea hana a hoʻemi ʻia ka manawa kūʻai no nā ʻāpana composite," wahi a Craig Neslen. . , Poʻo o ka Autonomous AFRL Production no nā papahana papahana. "I ka manawa like, no ka mea ʻaʻole pono nā mea hana kūikawā no ka hana ʻana i nā mea hana metala, ʻaʻole hiki ke hana wikiwiki ʻia ka mea hana, akā hiki ke hoʻololi wikiwiki ʻia inā pono."
"Ua hauʻoli mākou i ka hui pū ʻana me ka US Air Force e holomua i nā mea hana composite no nā ʻano noi like ʻole," i hoʻohui ʻia ʻo Babak Raesinia, ka mea hoʻokumu o Machina Labs a me ke poʻo o nā noi a me nā hoa hana. “He pipiʻi ke kūʻai ʻana i nā mea hana. Manaʻo wau e hoʻokuʻu ka ʻenehana i ka hōʻiliʻili kālā a ʻae i kēia mau hui e makemake i ka US Air Force, e neʻe i kahi kumu hoʻohālike.
Ma mua o ka hele ʻana i ka lumi hōʻikeʻike, e hoʻolohe i kēia kūkākūkā panel kūʻokoʻa e hōʻike ana i nā luna hoʻokō mai ʻehā o nā mea kūʻai lako polokalamu hana kiʻekiʻe o US (BalTec, Orbitform, Promess a me Schmidt).
Ke kū nei ko mākou kaiaulu i nā pilikia hoʻokele waiwai, pilikanaka a me ke kaiapuni. Wahi a ke kūkākūkā hoʻokele a me ka mea kākau ʻo Olivier Larue, hiki ke loaʻa ke kumu no ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i kēia mau pilikia ma kahi wahi kupaianaha: ʻo Toyota Production System (TPS).
