The presented article deals with the research of commercially available BASF Ultrafuse 316LX filament intended for processing by the Fused Filament Fabrication additive technology. This material contains a high proportion of metal particles. The aim of the research was to compare the resulting mechanical properties of the Ultrafuse 316LX not only with conventional rolled AISI 316L stainless steel, but a (…)
The paper describes the validation of a dynamic model of a planar robotic arm using gravity tests. The drive of the arm (fluid muscles from the manufacturer Festo) was not activated during gravity tests (for the test was used only gravitation of solid). The measured data were obtained under the conditions that the joint angle was from 20° to 40°, the measurements were performed 10 times for each angle a (…)
The paper deals with an analysis of a hole flanging technology, especially with the influence of an initial hole production process on an ability of material to achieve the required expansion in the application for automotive industry, i.e.radius rod production. S420MC steel sheet with a thickness of 4 mm is used as a material for the production of flanged parts. In this case, the possibility of improvi (…)
A depth camera outputs an image in which each pixel depicts the distance between the camera plane and the corresponding point on the image plane. Low-cost depth cameras are becoming commonplace and given their applications in the field of machine vision, one must carefully select the right device according to the environment in which the camera will be used given the accuracy these cameras can be associ (…)
One of the most important activities in the management of companies is the continuous improvement of products quality concerning their sustainability and better market position. The submitted paper aims to optimise the production process in the production of weldments. The study revealed a significant number of dimensional and threaded defects on the welded chassis of the loader. One possibility of co (…)
Volumetric compensation of CNC machine tools can provide a significant progress in increasing the production accuracy and hence the product quality. This paper describes the influence of the volumetric accuracy of the machine tool on the size of the working space. Impact assessment was performed on the basis of tests of three-axis vertical CNC machining center. In the practical part, the planning of the (…)
Modern lightweight car bodies are becoming more and more complex in comparison with previous constructions. Various materials are used in particular areas of car bodies, serving different purposes. Constructions made of aluminium alloy sheets are widely used in car body production to reduce the total car weight. However, resistance spot welding is not applicable for joining aluminium alloy sheets. There (…)
