A coordinate system A of X A Y A Z A is set as a previous stage coordinate system, which ranges from a previous step to a current step, and a coordinate system B of X B Y B Z B is set as a next stage coordinate system, which ranges from the current step to a next step. The weld line is defined by these coordinate systems that use a workpiece as a reference, and an operator specifies the amount of travel of a torch in these workpiece coordinate systems. By this method, offline teaching can be accurately performed in a welding system without requiring skill in operation.

Автор: John T. McNally
Принадлежит: Magna International Inc

A system for forming different types of clamshell components including a moveable base, a stationary base, and a squeezer assembly capable of accommodating different types of clamshell components having different lengths, shapes, locations of piercings. The squeezer assembly includes interchangeable squeezer elements. To switch between forming a first type of clamshell component and a second type of clamshell component, one of the two bases is moved relative to the other of the two bases and/or squeezer units for forming the first type of clamshell component are replaced with squeezer units for forming the second type of clamshell component. Reconfiguring the bases and interchanging the squeezers of a clamshell tool, instead of replacing an entire clamshell tool with a different clamshell tool, minimizes lost productivity time, reduces capital costs, and eliminates the problem of storing several different clamshell assembly tools.

A reinforcement beam for a vehicle bumper system comprises a single sheet deformed to define first and second tubes sharing a common single center wall. A channel rib is formed on each tubes and a crevice rib over the center leg forms a third rib. Edges of the sheet are deformed to a radius so that their surface consistently engages an associated radiused corner formed on ends of the center leg, which facilitates consistent abutting line engagement of material surfaces, and thus facilitates consistent welding. In a preferred beam, front wall sections of each tube are coplanar and form a face of the beam, with each channel rib and crevice rib providing added stiffness to the beam, and yet nothing extends forward of the coplanar front wall sections. Related apparatus and methods are also disclosed.

A pipe reeling system can be positioned in a location adjacent a dock to prepare spools of wound pipeline. The pipe segments are delivered to the facility from a steel mill or other manufacturer and placed on one or more pipe storage racks in a first orientation. The pipe segments are then moved to an elevated pipe feeding bed, from which they are fed in a second direction, transverse to the first direction through a plurality of weld stations. The pipe segments welded end-to-end form a continuous pipe unit, which is transferred to a spool and wound thereon. The spools can be prepared in advance of a request from a pipeline operator and stored in the facility on the reels until required.

An allograft optimization system utilizes an optical system to determine the outer perimeter of a tissue blank for allograft cutting therefrom. The optical system determines an optimal allograft array pattern that can be derived from the irregular tissue blank and may include a plurality of various allograft shapes and sizes. A computer operates an allograft optimization computer program that receives input regarding the outer perimeter of the tissue blank. A cutting implement, such as a laser, is configured to cut the allografts from the irregularly shaped tissue blank according the allograft array pattern. The cutting implement is automatically actuated by an actuator with respect to the tissue blank to cut the allografts therefrom. The cutting implement may be a laser or a galvo laser that is directed by one or more mirrors. The tissue may be birth tissue including placental tissue and amnion. 1. A method of cutting allografts from an irregularly shaped tissue blank comprising: i) an optical system configured to determine a perimeter of said irregularly shaped tissue blank; said optical system comprising a camera configured to capture a digital photograph of said irregularly shaped tissue blank;', an allograft optimization computer program that produces an allograft array pattern;', 'a computer configured to operate said allograft optimization computer program;, 'ii) a control system comprising, 'iii) a cutting implement;', 'iv) an actuator configured to move the cutting implement with respect to the tissue blank;, 'a) providing an allograft optimization system comprisingb) placing said irregularly shaped tissue blank on a cutting tray; said cutting tray comprising a magnetic metal;c) providing a plurality of perimeter retainers each comprising a magnet; 'wherein the magnet of the perimeter retainer is attracted to the magnetic metal of the cutting tray to retain the irregularly shaped tissue blank in place on the cutting tray;', 'd) locating said plurality of ...

Devices, systems, and methods are directed to automated techniques for fitting flanges to tubular sections used to form tubular structures, such as large-scale structures used in industrial applications (e.g., wind towers and pipelines). As compared to manual techniques for fitting flanges to tubular sections, the devices, systems, and methods of the present disclosure facilitate faster attachment of flanges, which may be useful for achieving cost-effective throughput. By way of further comparison to manual techniques, the devices, systems, and methods of the present disclosure may, further or instead, facilitate achieving tighter dimensional tolerances. In turn, such tighter dimensional tolerances may be useful for forming thinner-walled, lighter, and lower cost tubular structures. Still further or in the alternative, automated techniques for fitting flanges to tubular sections may facilitate attachment of multipiece flanges or other non-traditional flange geometries. 1. A system comprising:at least two tube rollers on which a circumference of a tubular section is rotatable along a path of movement in a rotation direction;a locating roller movable to adjust a radial offset of a flange relative to the tubular section moving in the rotation direction; anda pusher roller, the pusher roller and the locating roller collectively defining a pinch, the flange rotatable through the pinch, and the pinch disposed between the at least two tube rollers along the path of movement of the tubular section in the rotation direction.2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the tubular section is rotatable on the at least two tube rollers about an axis perpendicular to a direction of gravity.3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least two tube rollers include a first set of the tube rollers and a second set of the tube rollers claim 1 , the first set of the tube rollers and the second set of the tube rollers spaced apart from one another along a circumference of the tubular section as ...
