Abstract: A method for manufacturing a structural panel assembly includes providing at least a first material, a second material and a third material positioned between the first material and the second material. The method includes forming the third material to have an undulating shape, and observing, by a sensor, the undulating shape of the third material. The method includes controlling, by a processor, a movement of a welder relative to the first material or the second material based on the observing to weld the first material and the second material to the third material.

Abstract: Air management systems are provided for optimizing airflow in laser welding with deflectors. A system for a welder includes a blower to generate an airflow stream. A plenum receives the airflow stream, directs it toward the workpiece, and defines an outlet facing the workpiece to expel the airflow stream toward the workpiece. A deflector adjacent the outlet is formed as a conical section converging from the plenum toward the workpiece, and is defined by an angled wall with an open center. The deflector concentrates the airflow stream to impart a velocity increase to the airflow stream after leaving the outlet and to impart a favorable directional component to the airflow stream toward a weld zone, as well as protecting the laser lens by increasing the downward momentum force of the air stream to eliminate the potential of spatter impinging the lens.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a frame that defines an opening, and a structural panel assembly coupled to the opening. The structural panel assembly includes a first material, a second material opposite the first material, and a third material positioned between the first material and the second material. The third material has an undulating shape that includes a peak and a valley, and the first material is coupled to the peak and the second material is coupled to the valley.

Abstract: Robotic systems and methods are provided with an end effector having lockable compliance. A robotic system for manipulating a workpiece includes an arm having a pair of sections connected by a joint assembly, with a lock disposed in the joint assembly. A gripper is connected on the arm and is configured to alternately grip and release the workpiece. A controller operates the lock to alternately lock and unlock the joint assembly. The gripper holds the workpiece during a deformation of the workpiece, while the controller may unlock the lock to allow movement of the joint assembly to relieve forces on the arm arising during a deformation of the workpiece.

Abstract: Systems and methods for bending a material to a target resultant bending parameter using a bend forming tool are disclosed. The systems and methods receive values for parameters of properties of the material and of a bending process to be performed by the bend forming tool, creating or retrieving a calibration curve relating input bending parameter and resultant bending parameter based on the values from a database of calibration curves, determining a first springback compensated input bending parameter based on the target resultant bending parameter using the calibration curve, inputting the first springback compensated input bending parameter to the bend forming tool, and in a first step of bending the material, bending the material to the first springback compensated input bending parameter by applying the bending process using the bend forming tool.

Abstract: A method for healing surface irregularities in a weld joint includes generating a healing energy beam by a focused energy device, where the healing energy beam includes a predefined energy density. The method also includes scanning the healing energy beam along at least a portion of a periphery of the weld joint, where the weld joint includes at least an upper layer and a lower layer. The method also includes melting less than half a thickness of the upper layer of the weld joint. The predefined energy density of the healing energy beam is based on the thickness of the upper layer of the weld joint.
