Description

1 TARIFF Steel roller outer surface sheath cutting system and method Technical Area 5 The invention describes a steel structure used in aluminum casting lines that incorporates water channels. outer surface casings mounted onto the rollers (cores) using a heat transfer method (shell); reaching the end of its service life or existing microcracks progressing and allowing water to seep in. In cases where early dismantling is required due to the risk of leakage, the steel in the internal structure 10 Numerically controlled automatic system that allows for safe removal without damaging the core. It relates to the cutting system and method. State of the Art Current industrial applications use hand tools such as cast shells and spiral grinders. They are cut by operators using entirely manual methods, and They are being dismantled. These traditional practices bring with them fundamental technical problems. These are: - High Occupational Safety Risk and Life-Threatening Hazard: Shells are mounted on the rollers at 20°C. Because it is passed through by heating, very high levels of residue are left in the material after cooling. Stress (thermal stress) builds up. During manual cutting, this stress suddenly increases. its emptying causes the shell to suddenly break during cutting and explode due to the shrapnel effect. This causes the workpiece to break into pieces. The operator's workpiece during cutting... Being right next to it creates a life-threatening risk and danger of injury. 25 - Risk of Damaging the Complex Core (Main Part): Contains water channels. Casting rollers, which contain these components, are expensive to manufacture and are highly sensitive. Since manual cutting relies entirely on the operator's hand dexterity, the cutting stone... Passing the shell and coming into contact with the core caused permanent damage to the roller and rendered it scrap. This can lead to separation. 30 The application with registration number US4091698A was revealed as a result of technical investigations. In summary; "Automatically adjusts the feed rate to maintain a constant chip removal rate." It is a rotary cutting blade control system that changes the cutting blade. It detects the current in a driving electric motor and keeps the motor current constant. It automatically adjusts the speed of progress. The system's current is determined by the operator. 2 Whenever it deviates from a reference value, the blade is moved in or out. It adjusts a pneumatic valve in the pneumatic system that operates the blade support. Control The system also detects when the load on the blade drops below a predetermined level, and Therefore, it contains a circuit that detects when the blade has completed the cutting process, The circuit automatically instructs the pneumatic system to return the blade to its starting position. It gives commands. An additional control circuit works in conjunction with the no-load detection circuit. This saves time and effort when performing numerous cutting operations. To ensure this, the blade is automatically stopped in a position close to the workpiece. It generates commands accordingly. This circuit determines the position of the blade at the beginning of a cutting operation. It works by establishing a reference level that shows...". 10 As can be seen, the invention relates to a rotary cutting blade control system, and in addition to this... a structure that can provide a solution to the disadvantages mentioned above It does not mention it. In conclusion, due to the negative aspects described above and the current solutions, the subject matter...

Another objective of the invention is to reduce the current drawn by the cutting motor to a current that provides an output of 4-20 mA. By continuously monitoring with a measuring module (ammeter), the shell's sudden movement during cutting can be detected. If it cracks or breaks, the mechanical load on the cutting stone is eliminated. 20 By instantly detecting the sudden drop in current, the explosion event can be diagnosed. to provide.

If the motor draws high current due to the encounter, the Y-axis dips 30. suspending the progress until the cutting head's current returns to normal limit values. It should rescan the same X-line and autonomously resume diving from where it left off when the current is balanced. The purpose is to prevent excessive stress on the steel core by ensuring its continuity. Another objective of the invention is to instantly determine the cutting depth via a laser / distance sensor. measured and transmitted to the PLC control unit, and the maximum shell entered via SCADA. 4 By defining the thickness data as a boundary coordinate, the system can determine the coordinate of this boundary. preventing it from going beyond and making contact with the core inside, both through software and hardware. The aim is to ensure that the production of water-channeled castings, which are high-cost and delicate components, is carried out. This eliminates the risk of the rollers being permanently damaged and becoming scrap. is being removed. 5 Another aim of the invention is to determine whether the compressive force applied by the cutting disc to the shell surface... With its adjustable pressure throttling valve, it can be precisely limited to a range of 0.2 - 4.0 bar. Produced via a pneumatic press and escape cylinder, it softens the stone and the material. The goal is to ensure flexible compression. 10 Another objective of the invention is to achieve a screw-driven downward and upward plunge movement of the cutting head. the execution of this diving motion with millimeter precision using jacks and the X-axis Parametrically linked to the number of left-right turns (e.g., two after three turning turns) (by moving down a millimeter) the cutting process is independent of the operator's hand dexterity, 15 The goal is to ensure that it is performed in a repeatable and controlled manner. Another objective of the invention is to position the cutting head preferably five millimeters away from the workpiece surface. The approach should be made by lowering the vehicle at high speed until the critical approach distance is reduced to millimeter precision. The first contact must be securely established by passing through the area quickly (5 mm / min). 20 Another objective of the invention is to keep the heavy workpiece, the rollers, in a safe area outside the cell. loading onto a transport trolley with a crane, smoothly moving along linear rails. conveying into the cutting chamber and position sensors during the operation 25 Thus, it dampens vibrations and prevents part slippage under high mechanical forces.

In cases where early dismantling is required due to the risk of leakage, the steel in the internal structure 10 Numerically controlled automatic system that allows for safe removal without damaging the core. It relates to the cutting system and method. The elements and functions used in the system and method that are the subject of the invention are as follows: Protective safety fence (1) encloses the machine perimeter in accordance with safety standards, It is a robust fence and chassis structure. It forms the isolated cell architecture of the system and the process. shrapnel is effective when the shell suddenly breaks apart (explodes). by dampening the particles, preventing them from escaping the cell and causing harm to the environment. obstacles. 20 The safety-locked cell door (2) provides access to the cell and is kept closed throughout the operation. It is a safety-locked door. It prevents physical access during the operation, thus posing a risk to the operator. It prevents access to the area; if left open, it software-wise stops the system from working. The roller transport trolley (3) is parked outside the cell and the workpiece (17) crane It is the load-bearing element onto which the load is placed, centered by means of a mechanical locking mechanism operated by the operator. after being opened, to the cutting position inside the cell along the linear line They are transported without jerking; after slaughter, they are moved out of the cell. It allows the roller to be removed with the help of a crane. 30 The locking mechanism (4) is activated by a command given via the operator panel (16). It is a pneumatic mechanism. The roller conveyor (3) and the workpiece (17) on it, Position sensors control the cutting axis, rigidly locking it in place. Cutting It maintains the rigidity of the roller, which is subjected to high mechanical forces during operation, and reduces vibration by 35. 8 It completely prevents damping and part slippage. It deactivates when the cutting is complete. This allows the car to be evacuated. Cutting head unit (5), cutting motor (6) and cutting disc (7) that perform the cutting operation It is the unit that supports axial movements by carrying its components. The x-axis is linear 5 It is brought to the starting reference point by means of the advancement mechanism (8) and the right-left section It performs its rounds; gradually descends via the Y-axis diving mechanism (9). It is submerged. If an explosion is detected, it is launched upwards at the speed of light, and when the cutting is complete, it is then launched back up. It is towed to the upper parking position. The cutting motor (6) produces the torque and high rotational speed required by the cutting disc (7) It is the drive motor that provides the mechanical cutting power. The current it draws is measured by the current measurement module (14) It is constantly monitored by them. The cutting disc (7), preferably 230 mm in diameter, rotates to cut the shell / sheath material 15 by providing linear abrasion, it creates the cutting depth and cutting line. It is a component. X-axis linear feed mechanism (8), with driver-controlled motor equipment, cutting head unit (5) homogeneous and adjustable along the roller length on linear rails 20 It is the mechanism that enables the cutting motor (6) to make right-left turns at high speed. If current is drawn, it performs a second scan of the same section coordinate. The Y-axis plunge mechanism (9) consists of screw jacks, which lower the cutting head unit (5). and performs its upward movement with millimeter precision and controls the diving depth 25 It is the mechanism that keeps the head under the workpiece (17) surface at a distance of 5 mm. It accelerates at high speed until it reaches the critical approach distance, and then reduces the remaining distance at a speed of 5 mm / min; In automatic cycling, the X-axis is parametrically dependent on the number of revolutions (e.g., every three revolutions). It performs a gradual diving motion (2 mm). The distance sensor (10) measures the cutting depth in real-time and sends it to the control unit (15) It is a transmitting laser / distance sensor. It is based on the shell thickness limit entered via the operator panel (16). When reached, it prevents contact with the steel core underneath. The pressure and escape cylinder (11) applies an ideal force of 35 to the shell surface of the cutting disc (7) during cutting. It is a pneumatic cylinder that enables the application of pressure, with the pressure adjustable between 0.2 and 4.0 bar. 9 adjustable pressure throttling valve (12) forming the line, quick pull-up line There is a relief valve (13). In case of emergency explosion, the main unit (5) is thrown upwards. is an agent. The adjustable pressure throttling valve (12) is located at the inlet of the pressure line of the pressure and escape cylinder (11). It is a shut-off valve. It even limits the pressure of the incoming air to between 0.2 and 4.0 bar. It allows the disc (7) to press softly and flexibly on the material. The quick release valve (13) is located in the escape line of the pressure and escape cylinder (11) and has no line It is a valve that does not contain a throttling element. In emergency situations, it instantly releases air pressure, reaching 10 It pulls the cutting head unit (5) upwards in milliseconds. The current measurement module (14) is connected to the line of the cutting motor (6) and the current drawn is 4-20 mA. It is an ammeter that continuously monitors the signal. A sudden drop in amperage can cause the shell to explode or... It was diagnosed that the cutting disc (7) was broken and the material resistance could not be cut due to high amperage. 15 and transmits it to the control unit (15). The control unit (15) processes all sensor data, current signals and safety interlocks. It is the PLC unit that distributes autonomous commands to motor drivers and pneumatic valves. Operator According to the geometric parameters entered via panel (16), the cutting boundary coordinates are 20 The definitions monitor the depth data from the distance sensor (10); in case of high current suspends the submersible and opens the quick relief valve (13) in case of a sudden drop in current to ensure the system is safe. It puts it into standby mode. The operator panel (16) is mounted on a kiosk completely outside the protective safety fence (1) 25 It is a positioned SCADA interface. The operator can see the roller diameter and from outside the hazardous area. It allows input of geometric parameters such as shell thickness, speed adjustment, locking and parking. It allows him to issue commands and monitor the process remotely. The workpiece (17) is fitted with a steel roller core with cooling water channels inside and 30 cast shell layer with high residual stress, assembled by heat transfer method It is the main production component. It is fed into the system to be cut and removed from its outer shell. The autonomous and safety-oriented operating principle of the system described in the invention allows for a single operation without mutual verification. Sequential control loops and dynamic feedback architecture that do not allow for the next stage 35 This is achieved with a system that provides a protective layer resistant to possible part ejection. It has an isolated cell architecture surrounded by a safety fence (1) and chassis structure, and this cell The cell door (2) providing access is kept closed throughout the operation. Security is ensured. The workpiece to be processed (17) is on roller conveyor 5 parked outside the cell. The trolley (3) is loaded onto the crane by means of a crane, centering it. The mechanical locks are engaged by the operator. Opened roller conveyor (3), cutting inside the cell along the linear line It is sent to its location. With the command given via the operator panel (16) located outside the cell. The locking mechanism (4) is activated and the roller carriage (3) and the workpiece on it are engaged. (17) It is rigidly locked to the cutting axis. 10 During the pre-cutting preparation phase, the operator manually measures the shell thickness and the roller. By entering the diameter geometric parameters into the system via the operator panel (16), the control unit (15) defines the cutting boundary coordinates. With the initiation of the cycle, the cutting head Unit (5) moves along linear rails via X-axis linear movement mechanism (8) 15 It is brought to the starting reference point. Simultaneously, the cutting motor (6) is driven. The cutting disc (7) is started to rotate. The cutting head unit (5), Y-axis plunge mechanism (9) is lowered at high speed until a distance of 5 mm remains from the workpiece (17) surface; The remaining 5 mm critical approach distance is controlled by the operator at a millimeter-safe speed (5 The cutting disc (7) makes its first contact with the work surface by passing through (mm / min) and automatic cutting 20 It is started. Cutting head unit (5) in automatic cutting cycle, X-axis linear feed mechanism (8) It performs the linear cutting route by making right-left turns at the speed determined by the drive. Cutting The mechanical pressure force required for the cutting disc (7) to penetrate the material during the process is 25 The pressure of the air coming into this cylinder is produced by the escape cylinder (11) and the pressure of the air coming into this cylinder, The pressure is precisely controlled between 0.2 - 4.0 bar with the adjustable pressure throttling valve (12). As the cutting head unit (5) completes its left-right rotations, the Y-axis plunging mechanism (9) lowers the head. gradually and parametrically dependent on the number of X-axis rotations (e.g., every three It plunges downwards (2 mm per turn). The cutting depth is continuously measured by the distance sensor (10) at 30 measured and monitored by the control unit (15) until the final limit value entered from the beginning. When this is reached, the control unit (15) stops the cutting process and the steel core contact is definitely reached. It is blocked. During cutting, the cutting disc (7) must be in a hard material area or with high strength 35 When it encounters a strain, the cutting motor (6) starts to draw more current from the mains. 11 The current measurement module (14) connected to the motor line measures this current rise instantaneously with a 4-20 mA signal. It transmits to the control unit (15). The system avoids overloading the steel core by using the Y-axis. The immersion mechanism (9) stops its advancement. The cutting head unit (5) stops the current within the normal limit. until the values ​​fall to the same section via the X-axis linear advancement mechanism (8) It cleans the material by scanning the coordinate once more; when the current is balanced, it dives downwards 5 It continues autonomously from where it left off. The high-stress shell layer on the workpiece (17) suddenly breaks during cutting or If it bursts, the mechanical load on the cutting disc (7) disappears within milliseconds and the cutting The current of the motor (6) drops suddenly. The current measurement module (14) detects this sudden drop and controls 10 It transmits to the control unit (15). The control unit (15) is located on the printing and escape cylinder (11) and By opening the quick relief valve (13) which contains no throttling elements in the line, the cutting head It launches the unit (5) upwards at the speed of light, stops the motor and puts the system into safe standby mode. Shell fragments ejected during the explosion are protected by the safety fence (1). It is extinguished, preventing it from escaping the cell. 15 When the cutting process is successfully completed along the defined shell thickness, the operator panel will display the message. With the command given via (16), the cutting head unit (5) is pulled to the upper parking position. Locking The mechanism (4) is deactivated and the roller conveyor (3) moves out of the cell. It is inspected. When the car reaches the safe zone, 20... (The sentence is incomplete and unclear in the original Turkish) The roller is removed from the vehicle with the help of a crane, ensuring the operation cycle is completed safely. It is completed.
