H-beam cutting system based on Pro/E model-driven technology

Abstract

In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing cutting methods, H-beam cutting system was developed. This system which based on three-dimensional Pro/E model is three-cutting-torch H-beam robot cutting machine, it can realize the position control and the motion control of some auxiliary operations. This paper mainly describes system's architecture, control method and key technologies used in this system. VBAPI, one of the redeveloping methods, is used in the model-driven technology and method of minimum delay-time is used in the path planning. The experiment results in practice show that: This system has well operability and applicability and can significantly improve the efficiency and quality of H-beam cutting. © Springer-Verlag 2012.
