Robotics and control system for cutting the fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) composite used in the aircraft and automotive industries

Technical Classification:: [ Processing ]
Products:: [ Equipment / Facilities ]
Keyword:: [ composite ] [ cutting process ] [ FRP ] [ plastics ] [ Robotics and control system ]

Point of the Proposed Technology

The robotics and control system for replacing the conventional numerical control (NC) machine tool is provided for cutting the FRP composite and the plastic material. The dedicated CAD/CAM system allows for generating the tool path created from the 3D CAD data. The cost and the space for installation of equipment can be reduced as compared to those for the NC machine tool.

Effect(s)

Approximately 30% reduction in the cost for installation of equipment
Approximately 50% reduction in the space for installation of equipment

Conventional Technology

New Technology

Technology Deployment and Cooperation

Development Stage	Commercialization Completed (already delivered: no)
Joint Researchers (their role)	Industrial Research Institute of Ishikawa ・Selecting milling tools by evaluating cutting performance ・Optimization of the process conditions in milling of the FRP composite with the robotics system
