Chapter 208 Upgrade, the surprising 7-axis machining center

Anyway, as long as Xingtu Technology advances its Industrial 4.0 standard system fast enough, it can spread a large number of Industrial 4.0 equipment production lines around the world.

Then Xingtu Technology’s Industrial 4.0 standard system is the true universal Industrial 4.0 standard, making it the king without being the king!

By then, the Industrial 4.0 standard that the West finally formulates after a lot of haggling, even if it is called the universal Industrial 4.0 standard, it is just a niche Industrial 4.0 standard on the verge of collapse.

Furthermore, if we want to promote the changes in the Industrial 4.0 era and make it not just a budding stage but a real situation, the most important thing is to have at least tens of millions of high-quality talents.

Only in this way can we develop a large number of fully automatic production equipment and have enough high-quality industrial workers to use and maintain the automatic operation of the fully automatic production equipment.

Of course, Lin Feng only paid a brief attention to the disturbances in the outside world and then looked away.

Because after a day and a half of accumulation, the five-axis linkage machining center machine tool can finally be upgraded.

Lin Feng was also quite curious about the five-axis linkage machining center, because the experience value required for this five-axis linkage machining center was as high as 6600 million.

This thing requires so much experience points, so I guess the upgraded five-axis linkage machining center should be very powerful, right?
Out of curiosity, Lin Feng came to a large factory in the Xingtu Industrial Park that was directly under the jurisdiction of Xingtu Technology.

At this time, there was no one in the large factory, only some legless, wheeled, two-arm experimental robots controlled by the artificial intelligence Jarvis.

The reason for this is that this factory is a high-confidential mechanical processing factory that Lin Feng specially vacated. The entire Xingtu Technology, including Qu Qiongying, has no authority to enter here.

"Upgrade."

As Lin Feng spoke, the Xingtu five-axis machining center weighing 7200 kg in front of him suddenly disintegrated into a metallic cloud.

Then it collapsed inward rapidly. In just a few seconds, the five-axis machining center in front of him had expanded in size compared to before.

体积从原来长3.8米、宽3.2米、高2.8米、重量7200kg,直接膨胀到了长4.5米、宽3.6米、高3.2米、重量则直接暴涨到了12458kg。

Looking at the huge monster in front of him and feeling the knowledge being forcefully instilled into his mind, Lin Feng's mouth couldn't help but open a little wide.

Because this upgrade was so powerful and beyond Lin Feng's expectations, Lin Feng couldn't help but want to jump up in surprise.

Because this five-axis machining center is completely different from the 'five-axis linkage machining center with upgraded machining accuracy' or 'nine-axis linkage machining center' that Lin Feng expected.

Because the shape and structure of the machine tool after this upgrade has completely changed, this was a little beyond Lin Feng's expectations, but it was somewhat reasonable when he thought about it carefully.

This is because the main processing structure of the upgraded machining center has become a two-arm structure.

However, these two robotic arms are not the previously released Xingtu Z1 robotic arm which is only slightly longer than an adult's arm.

If these two robotic arms are straightened, their length can reach 2 meters. In addition, these robotic arms do not appear slender, but rather somewhat ferocious.

Because the width of this robotic arm is as wide as a strong man's head, it naturally looks a bit ferocious.

As for why it looked so hideous, Lin Feng knew the reason after just a quick thought.

Because if you want to process something, the most difficult thing is not how to process it, but how to keep the processing stable. For example, if you have only a slender arm and you want to pick up a heavy hammer to hit something, the hammer will have inertia when it is swung, and there will also be a reaction force when it hits something.

At this time, replace the hammer with a rotary cutting drill bit, polishing drill bit, and drilling drill bit. There will definitely be reaction force and vibration when they work.

There are two ways to solve this reaction force and vibration. The first is to compensate and correct it through mathematical models. The second is to strengthen the arm holding the hammer.

Even if there is reaction force and vibration, it can be forced down, ultimately improving the stability of the machining process and improving the machining control accuracy.

Therefore, the fact that this robotic arm is very sturdy means that its structural stability is very high, and when holding the hammer for processing, there is no need to worry about the reduction in accuracy due to reaction force and vibration.

The structure of this robotic arm is different from that of the Xingtu Z1 robotic arm, because the Xingtu robotic arm only has six degrees of freedom, so the Xingtu Z1 robotic arm is a six-axis robotic arm.

This machining center has seven degrees of freedom, so it is a seven-axis robotic arm and a true humanoid arm structure.

So the machining center at this time can be called the Xingtu seven-axis linkage machining center!
Of course, although it is called the Xingtu seven-axis linkage machining center, its structure is ultimately different from that of the traditional seven-axis linkage machining center.

After all, the core of this machining center is a seven-axis robotic arm, not a traditional machine base.

As for how it is different from the traditional seven-axis linkage machining center?
The biggest difference is the processing efficiency and the processing range.

First of all, in terms of processing efficiency, the traditional seven-axis linkage machining center has only one part responsible for processing parts, while the seven-axis robotic arm has two processing parts.

This means that work can be done simultaneously, and the final production efficiency is naturally more than twice that of a normal seven-axis linkage machining center.

As for what are the disadvantages?
This shortcoming is a fatal flaw for other manufacturers, because if you have two seven-axis robotic arms, it means that you have to program the sequence of processing steps.

It is necessary to consider in advance how to make them work together perfectly without mutual interference, collision, knife jamming, etc.

If such a phenomenon really happens, the expensive Xingtu seven-axis linkage machining center may be scrapped at any time.

Under such circumstances, programming the Xingtu seven-axis linkage machining center is simply a disaster for engineers.

But this shortcoming is not a disadvantage for Xingtu Technology, which has the artificial intelligence Jarvis.

What is a very troublesome problem for humans is not a problem for Jarvis, an artificial intelligence that can simulate the processing sequence in advance.

Therefore, the production efficiency of the Xingtu seven-axis linkage machining center is quite high, and it is no exaggeration to say that the production speed is more than twice that of the traditional seven-axis linkage machining center.

Of course, in addition to the advantage of high processing efficiency resulting in fast processing speed, this Xingtu seven-axis linkage machining center has many other advantages.

For example, the advantages of ultra-precision processing and the advantages of integrated fully automatic processing and production.

Take the integrated fully automatic processing production as an example. Because it has two robotic arms, there are many areas that can be operated at this time.

If you want to process a part on one side of the workbench in a traditional five-axis machining center, you must first remove the part and turn it over for processing. (End of this chapter)
