John Deere tig mus rau 3D luam ntawv ntau dua cav qhov chaw

Cov tsheb laij teb tshiab John Deere dov tawm ntawm kev tsim kab hauv Mannheim, lub teb chaws Yelemees, muaj thawj zaug rau lub tuam txhab: ib qho hlau 3D-luam tawm cav.

Cov chaw tsim khoom lag luam thoob ntiaj teb ntawm kev ua liaj ua teb thiab cov khoom siv turf tsis yog neeg txawv rau 3D luam ntawv, tau siv nws rau ntau tshaj 20 xyoo los ua ntau txhiab tus qauv, cov cuab yeej, jigs, thiab fixtures thoob plaws nws lub ntiaj teb factories. Tab sis 3D-printed stainless hlau valve nyob rau hauv lub tsheb laij teb cov roj system yog ib tug tshiab kev taw qhia thiab ib feem ntawm qhov uas lub tuam txhab hu nws Smart Industrial Strategy.

Tshaj tawm xyoo 2020, John Deere tshaj tawm nws lub zeem muag kom sib koom ua ke cov thev naus laus zis sai sai hauv peb qhov chaw tsom: cov tshuab tsim khoom, lawv cov cuab yeej thev naus laus zis, thiab kev daws teeb meem hauv lub neej.

3D luam ntawv yog ib feem ntawm lub zeem muag no, thiab lub valve no yog ib qho ntawm nws thawj cov txiv hmab txiv ntoo. Nws muaj txiaj ntsig ntau dua yog tias nws tau ua ib txwm ua. Nws yog kwv yees li 50% pheej yig dua thiab me me, siv cov khoom siv tsawg. Tab sis qhov no tsuas yog khawb qhov chaw ntawm vim li cas John Deere xaiv 3D luam tawm ntu no.

Thawj ntawm Ntau Yam 3D Luam Ntawv

Tus tshiab thermal diverter valve ntawm qhov tseeb versions ntawm John Deere 6R thiab 6M tsheb laij teb tsis yog ib qho kev siv tshiab ntawm kev siv tau zoo hlau 3D luam ntawv thev naus laus zis, nws yog qhov kawg ntawm ob xyoos ntawm R & D.

Nws pib nrog kev sib tw kom ntseeg tau tias John Deere tsheb laij teb yuav ua haujlwm hauv qhov chaw txias. Cov kws ua haujlwm tau ua haujlwm los tsim lub valve uas tuaj yeem tswj cov roj kub tsis muaj kev cuam tshuam rau kev ua haujlwm ntawm lub cav.

Udo Scheff, tus thawj coj ntawm engineering rau John Deere cov tsheb laij teb me me thiab nruab nrab hais tias, "Ua ntej, koj pib nrog qhov koj xav tau qhov chaw ua haujlwm," thiab ua haujlwm los ntawm kev ua kom zoo dua cov kua dej sib xyaw ua ke thiab simulate hauv lub ntiaj teb virtual, tom qab ntawd koj hloov qhov ntawd. rau hauv cov qauv tsim rau cov qauv qauv. "

Tus qauv tsim qauv zoo tshaj plaws, ib qho uas cia cov roj ntws nrog qhov ua tau zoo tshaj plaws, muaj cov kab sib npaug, du hauv cov kab. Ib qho tshwj xeeb, Scheff hais tias, tsuas yog tsim tau nrog 3D luam ntawv.

"Nyob rau hauv cov dej dynamics, thaum koj muaj ob lub qhov tho qhov sib tshuam, koj ib txwm muaj cov ces kaum ntse yog tias koj siv cov cuab yeej machining. Nrog 3D luam ntawv, koj tuaj yeem muaj cov kab puag ncig, uas yog lub hauv paus uas coj peb mus rau qhov kev ua kom zoo ntawm lub valve. "

Txhawm rau kuaj seb qhov yuav ua haujlwm li cas, cov kws ua haujlwm ntawm John Deere tau ua haujlwm nrog cov neeg ua haujlwm tsim khoom ntxiv ntawm lub teb chaws Yelemees. GKN Additive (Forecast 3D), lub chaw tsim khoom digital ntawm cov hlau thiab cov khoom siv, txhawm rau txhim kho kev tsim cov roj valve rau hlau 3D luam ntawv. GKN luam tawm qauv li qub hauv cov hlau ntawm lub tshuab luam ntawv hlau 3D tshiab los ntawm HPHPQ
, lub Hlau Dav Hlau S100 Solution. Lub tshuab luam ntawv no siv ib qho ntawm cov hlau 3D luam ntawv thev naus laus zis - muaj ob peb - ​​hu ua binder jetting, qhov twg cov hmoov hlau tau koom ua ke nrog kev sib khi tus neeg sawv cev rau txheej txheej los ua ib feem uas yog tom qab ntawd sintered hauv qhov cub qib industrial. Tom qab hais tias, ib feem yog machined thiab assembled.

Lub thermal diverter valve tau dhau los kuaj nruj kom ntseeg tau tias cov yeeb nkab yuav tsum tau ua kom zoo, uas yog sib npaug ntawm cov tshuab lossis cov peev txheej cam khwb cia hlau. Kev sim teb ntawm ib feem kuj tau ua tiav.

"Yog li qhov no yog lub ntsiab lus uas peb yuav tsum txiav txim siab seb peb yuav tsim cov khoom no li cas kom ua tau raws li cov khoom siv thiab lwm yam kev xav tau," hais tias Scheff, uas tseem yuav tsum xav txog nws lub sijhawm nruj rau qhov no, cov cuab yeej yuav raug nqi npaum li cas, thiab yuav ua li cas qhov seem yuav haum rau hauv kev sib dhos ua haujlwm.

"Thiab qhov ntawd yog thaum peb txiav txim siab, tsis ua li cas, yog tias qhov no 3D-luam tawm ua haujlwm hauv kev sim thiab kev tsim khoom ntxiv yog tus nqi tsim nyog, ces nws yuav ua haujlwm hauv kev tsim khoom ib yam," Scheff hais.

Tsim cov qauv hauv tib cov khoom thiab cov txheej txheem uas yuav siv rau qhov kawg ntawm cov khoom tsim tawm ua rau cov neeg ua haujlwm muaj kev lees paub ntau dua ntawm kev ua haujlwm. "Peb xaiv cov txheej txheem hlau dav hlau los ntawm HP vim tias nws nrawm dua li lwm cov txheej txheem hlau 3D luam ntawv," ntxiv Jochen Müller, John Deere tus thawj tswj hwm digital engineering thoob ntiaj teb. "Peb tab tom nrhiav pom cov hauv kev los xa cov khoom siv tau zoo, txhim khu kev qha, thiab ruaj khov, thiab HP muab peb cov kev daws teeb meem zoo tshaj plaws rau qhov ntawd."

Hlau 3D Printing ntawm ntau lawm ntim

Tam sim no, ntau tshaj 4,000 li qub tau raug xa los ntawm GKN mus rau John Deere tsheb laij teb Hoobkas rau kev sib dhos zaum kawg ntawm tus nqi ib feem uas tsawg dua forging lossis milling. Tsheb laij teb nrog 3D-luam ntu no twb nyob rau hauv daim teb, lus.

Müller hais tias lwm qhov txiaj ntsig ntawm 3D luam ntawv qhov tshwj xeeb no tsis yog siv cov txheej txheem ib txwm muaj, ntxiv dag zog rau hauv cov txheej txheem tsim khoom. Vim tias 3D luam ntawv tsis xav tau pwm lossis cov cuab yeej, ib feem prototypes tau nrawm dua thiab pheej yig dua los tsim, uas ua rau cov txheej txheem tsim kom nrawm dua. Tus tsim tuaj yeem tweaked thiab txhim kho txhua lub sijhawm. Ntxiv rau, thaum nws los txog rau cov khoom hloov pauv, tsis muaj cov khoom muag sawv ntsug yog qhov tsim nyog. Cov ntaub ntawv digital ntawm tus nqi no tuaj yeem xa mus rau lwm tus neeg tsim khoom lag luam nrog HP Hlau Jet thev naus laus zis thiab tsim tawm hauv zos thiab sai.

Txawm hais tias tag nrho cov khoom lag luam digital ntawm kev kho thiab cov khoom seem rau tam sim no thiab cov cuab yeej cuab tam John Deer tseem yog qhov project yav tom ntej, lub tuam txhab twb pom cov txiaj ntsig zoo.

Müller hais tias "Peb muaj lub koom haum loj loj uas txaus siab heev rau 3D luam ntawv," Müller hais. Twb tau, lub tuam txhab tab tom xav txog qhov twg thiab ntau npaum li cas cov khoom seem tuaj yeem hloov mus rau 3D-printable digital cov ntaub ntawv, uas yuav tshem tawm cov khoom lag luam. "Feem ntau, peb muaj cov khoom seem hauv Tshuag rau kwv yees li 20 xyoo, qee zaum ntev dua, thiab nws nyuaj heev los twv seb yuav ua li cas nrog cov khoom muaj thiab yuav ua li cas ntxiv cov Tshuag yog tias koj khiav tawm."

Tshaj li 3D luam ntawv cov khoom seem ntawm qhov kev thov, Müller xav txog yav tom ntej uas John Deere tuaj yeem txheeb xyuas cov khoom siv los yog tawg thiab 3D luam cov khoom siv uas txhawb nqa rau cov neeg siv khoom.

3D Printing pov thawj los ntawm Prototyping

John Deere, zoo li ntau lub tuam txhab tsim khoom thiab tsheb, pib 3D luam ntawv hauv lawv qhov chaw kuaj engineering nrog cov qauv tsim qauv ntawm cov khoom thiab cov tswv yim tsheb.

Lub tuam txhab tau kawm sai sai tias muaj cov qauv ntawm lub cev los tuav, haum, thiab sib piv rau cov khoom uas twb muaj lawm yog qhov tseem ceeb ntawm cov qauv tsim. "Cov neeg los ntawm cov kab sib dhos tuaj yeem tshawb xyuas seb koj lub tswv yim puas ua tau los ntawm kev tsim khoom," Scheff sau tseg.

Cov qauv no muaj txiaj ntsig zoo dua thiab thiab nrawm dua li kev ua haujlwm lossis kev tsim cov ntoo, uas yog ib qho ntawm cov txheej txheem siv ua ntej John Deere pib 3D luam ntawv hauv xyoo 2000.

"Peb lub peev xwm 3D luam ntawv sab hauv tso cai rau peb cov neeg tsim qauv yooj yim sim lawv cov tswv yim thiab txheeb xyuas lawv cov tswv yim thaum ntxov nyob rau hauv txoj kev loj hlob," ntxiv Müller. "Nws yog 'ua tsis tau thaum ntxov' hom kev xav. Peb xav nqa tag nrho cov ntsiab lus rau hauv pem teb raws li cov qauv ntawm lub cev thiab muaj ntau pawg neeg ua ke kom thiaj li tawm tau lub tswv yim zoo. Yog li 3D luam ntawv thiab kev tsim khoom ntxiv, feem ntau, txhawb peb ua qhov ntawd. "

Lub thermal diverting valve tsuas yog thawj zaug ntawm ntau lub tsheb laij teb 3D luam tawm tuaj.

3D Printing Factory Jigs & Cov cuab yeej

3D tshuab luam ntawv muaj nyob rau hauv yuav luag txhua lub Hoobkas John Deere thoob ntiaj teb churning tawm fixtures thiab Hoobkas cov cuab yeej 24/7. Scheff hais tias tseem muaj kev tsim khoom ib txwm ua vim tias 3D luam ntawv tsis tuaj yeem hloov txhua yam, tab sis thaum nws los txog rau qhov chaw nrog cov khoom tshwj xeeb lossis cov cuab yeej tshwj xeeb, 3D luam ntawv yog txoj kev xaiv.

Factory fixtures yuav luag ib txwm tshwj xeeb rau lub Hoobkas kab thiab kim rau tshuab hauv me me. Txhawm rau pab txhawb 3D luam ntawv cov khoom no, John Deere tau tsim lub ntiaj teb kev sib txuas ntawm 3D tshuab luam ntawv nrog cov tshuab luam ntawv sib txawv ntawm ntau qhov chaw thiab cov chaw tsim khoom loj ua rau cov kev xav tau ntawm cov chaw tsim khoom me.

Hauv txhua lub koom haum John Deere, lub chaw tsim khoom engineering, uas yog lub luag haujlwm los nrhiav cov txheej txheem tsim tau zoo tshaj plaws, tshaj tawm cov cuab yeej tshiab thiab txiav txim siab seb lawv puas zoo tshaj nrog cov khoom siv ntxiv lossis cov thev naus laus zis. Tom qab ntawd, Müller cov pab pawg digital engineering tsim cov qauv digital uas raug xa rov qab mus rau lub Hoobkas rau 3D luam tawm lossis outsource mus rau qhov kev pabcuam 3D hauv zos.

Los ntawm cov qauv mus txog rau cov khoom kawg, cov cuab yeej, thiab cov khoom seem, 3D luam ntawv yog ib qho ntawm John Deere cov cuab tam tseem ceeb hauv nws txoj kev nrhiav kom ua ib lub koom haum digital thiab agile, hais tias Müller. Nws ua rau cov engineers tsim cov tswv yim los ntawm lub tswv yim mus rau lub cev kom nrawm dua los ntawm cov khoom siv prototyping sai, thiab tam sim no, nrog nws txoj haujlwm tshiab, coj cov khoom siv cav ntau dua rau kev lag luam sai dua thiab pheej yig dua.
