The thickness measurement equipment has high multi-function integration and reliable performance. It is easy to operate and highly automated, which effectively realizes nondestructive, accurate, efficient on-machine wall thickness measurement of the large panel.

    Abstract: An application method of the thermal error-temperature loop in the spindle of a CNC machine tool. This uses a bar and two displacement sensors to determine radial thermal errors of the spindle. Meanwhile two temperature sensors are used to determine the temperature of the upper and lower surfaces of the spindle box. Then, the thermal error-temperature loop is drawn with the temperature difference between two temperature sensors as the abscissa and the radial thermal error of the spindle as the ordinate. Finally, the loop is employed to analyze the mechanism of the radial thermal deformation of the spindle and the thermal error level is evaluated. Since the method is based on measured data, the results of the analysis are closer to the reality, compared to those from the numerical simulations.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a slanting-bed feed processing machine tool of a large propeller. The machine tool comprises a slanting column feed bed, a machine tool spindle, a workpiece rotary worktable, a large propeller and a bed feed mechanism. The present invention coordinates the geometrical relationship between the machine tool and the large propeller to ensure that the slanting column feed bed moves between two blades, thereby reducing the overhang length of the spindle. Different forms of workpiece rotary worktables and bed feed mechanisms are selected according to different slanting column feed beds. Four types of slanting column feed beds are designed, which can be selected, optimized and applied for different processing objects. The present invention enhances the processing stiffness of the spindle and solves the problem of poor processing quality of the large propeller caused by machine tool vibration.

    Abstract: A magnetic-induced stiffness changed soft robot drive module includes magnetic-induced stiffness changed layer, two-degree-of-freedom pneumatic driver, magnetic core and sealing fixing device. The magnetic-induced stiffness changed layer and two-degree-of-freedom pneumatic driver are printed and formed. The magnetic core can be deformed together with the driver, and a magnetic field can be generated when it is energized. After the magnetic core is installed into the two-degree-of-freedom pneumatic driver, then assembled with the sealing fixing device, a soft robot drive module with one end fixed is finished. The magnetic-induced stiffness changed layer has the fast, reversible and controllable stiffness adjustment ability under the action of electromagnetic field. As its hardness is greater than that of the two-degree-of-freedom pneumatic driver and its position is outside the air cavity, the two-degree-of-freedom pneumatic driver can be restricted from over-expansion and over-extension in the axial direction, making its pneumatic bending deformation controllable.

    Abstract: A magnetorheological support method for blisk processing is disclosed. In the method, a fork structure and a soft film are used to wrap magnetorheological fluid. The magnetorheological fluid is used for flow filling under certain pressure. The bulged soft film can conduct shape matching on the surface of a blisk blade. The magnetorheological fluid can be cured through magnetic field excitation, thereby ensuring the flexible support for a weak rigid component. Electric permanent magnets are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the fork structure to construct a uniform magnetic field that can realize a global excitation of magnetorheological fluid, so that the magnetorheological fluid works in a shear mode to achieve damping force controlling by magnetic field. The solid-liquid conversion of the magnetorheological fluid is controlled by an electric permanent magnet field.
