摘要

电弧增材制造(WAAM)是一种金属3D打印技术,可将熔融金属丝沉积在基板上,形成所需的几何形状。铰接式机械臂是WAAM中常用的制造复杂几何形状的机械臂。然而,它们大多依赖于专有的机器人和焊接控制软件,这限制了过程调整和定制、第三方传感器的整合、在多个供应商的机器人和焊接控制器上的实施以及可定制的用户编程。本文提出了一个通用的WAAM开源软件架构,解决了这些限制。这个体系结构的基础是Robot Raconteur,它是一个开源控制和通信框架,作为集成来自不同供应商的机器人和传感器的中间件。基于此架构,我们开发了端到端的机器人WAAM实现,将CAD文件用于打印WAAM部件并评估结果的准确性。该体系结构的主要组成部分包括零件切片、机器人运动规划、零件计量、过程传感和过程调优。目前的实现是基于Motoman机器人和Fronius焊接控制器,但该方法适用于其他工业机器人和焊接控制器。通过打印各种几何形状的零件和获取用于实时运动调整的过程传感器数据,证明了WAAM系统的能力。

Open-source software architecture for multi-robot Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM)
Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is a metal 3D printing technology that deposits molten metal wire on a substrate to form desired geometries. Articulated robot arms are commonly used in WAAM to produce complex geometric shapes. However, they mostly rely on proprietary robot and weld control software that limits process tuning and customization, incorporation of third-party sensors, implementation on robots and weld controllers from multiple vendors, and customizable user programming. This paper presents a general open-source software architecture for WAAM that addresses these limitations. The foundation of this architecture is Robot Raconteur, an open-source control and communication framework that serves as the middleware for integrating robots and sensors from different vendors. Based on this architecture, we developed an end-to-end robotic WAAM implementation that takes a CAD file to a printed WAAM part and evaluates the accuracy of the result. The major components in the architecture include part slicing, robot motion planning, part metrology, in-process sensing, and process tuning. The current implementation is based on Motoman robots and Fronius weld controller, but the approach is adaptable to other industrial robots and weld controllers. The capability of the WAAM system is demonstrated through the printing of parts with various geometries and acquisition of in-process sensor data for real-time motion adjustment.
