摘要:
A system and method for reworking, repairing and upgrading flatwire is disclosed. A repair tool for reworking and/or repairing the flatwire is disclosed for creating subsequent electrical and mechanical joints of equal or greater quality as compared to the original system. The repair tool includes a heating blade, a power controller, a tool assembly, an inerting system, a cooling system, a flatwire cassette, a tool material, a flatwire material, an upgrade/repair procedure and various other aspects for rapidly heating flatwire two join two separate portions of the flatwire. The system and method of the present invention addresses the challenges of working with substrate materials which typically degrade at temperatures commonly used to form solder joints. Further, the soldering tool of the present invention may be a portable, lightweight unit that can be used in the field, for automotive and aerospace applications.
摘要:
A system and method to create frequency derived, pre-characterization templates to be used by a machine operator for determining when a tool breaks in one spindle of a multi-spindle machine tool. The pre-characterization template is created by first impacting the tool or the holder and recording the time domain of the frequency pattern of vibrations. The natural frequencies of the tool/tool holder/spindle vibrations which include the vibration frequencies of the tool braking are recorded. Pre-characterization templates are created using FFT techniques to identify only those frequencies indicative of tool breakage. The machine tool operator then uses the monitoring system with pre-characterization templates during machine tool operation and is notified in real time of the breakage of a tool in a single spindle or a multi-spindle machine.
