- Particle tracking system receives position of abrasive particles
- Abrasive operation parameter retriever retrieves current operation parameters
- Abrasive volume calculator calculates abrading volume based on tracked particle path
- Abrasive parameters adjuster provides new operation parameters based on calculated volume
- New parameters are implemented by the abrading system
Potential Applications: - Manufacturing processes - Surface finishing operations - Quality control in abrasive operations
Problems Solved: - Ensuring consistent and efficient abrading operations - Optimizing abrasive usage - Improving overall productivity and quality in manufacturing
Benefits: - Enhanced precision in abrading processes - Reduction in material waste - Increased efficiency and cost-effectiveness in manufacturing operations
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Abrading Operation Monitoring System for Enhanced Manufacturing Processes" This technology can be utilized in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and metal fabrication for precise and efficient surface finishing operations.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system track the position of abrasive particles on the surface? 2. What are the key benefits of adjusting operation parameters based on calculated abrading volume?
Original Abstract Submitted
An abrading operation monitoring system is presented that includes a particle tracking system that receives, from a particle position retriever, a position of an abrasive particle on an abrasive article surface. The system also includes an abrasive operation parameter retriever that retrieves, using a communication component, a current set of operation parameters for an abrading machine. The system also includes an abrasive volume calculator that calculates an abrading volume for a worksurface contacted by the abrasive article surface based on a path of the tracked abrasive particle and the current set of operation parameters. The system also includes an abrasive parameters adjuster that provides a new set of operation parameters for the abrading system based on the calculated abrading volume. The abrading system implements the new set of operation parameters.
