Zambrano, P., Escamilla, I., López, E.
International Materials research Congress 2001. Academia Mexicana de Ciencia de Materiales, A.C., 2001.

Abstract

In processing parts by numerical control it is very important to optimize the machinability of these ones, this could turn out in to higher production with good quality and low cost. To achieve this, there are some parameters that must be taken into account, such as tooling and workpiece materials, cutting speeds and feed rates.
A critical point becomes to determine the feed and cutting speeds, if any of both is increased while the other one stays constant, the machining time could be lower with the excessive tool ware.
The aim of the present work is to obtain and improvement in the machining process of alluminium parts by numerical control milling. The first step was to find the optimal path by digitalized points that conduct to this one. With the digitalized points a numericla control code was obtained and the process variables were choosen, then an interactive matrix was set in order to find the speeds that fulfill the best mechanical properties and surface finishing of the work piece. Each piece was mechanically characterized and microstructures were studied.

Key words: CAD/CAM, alluminium milling machining, CNC code optimization.


Generación de código de maquinado en 3D para modelos basados en mallas
López, E., Colás, R., Rall, K., Ramírez, F.
Revista Ingenierías vol. IV, no. 10, 2001.

Abstract
The evolution of CAD/CAM (computer aided design / computer aided manufacturing) systems has enabled more complex parts to be modelled. Today, most of the modelled parts are more than grouped geometric primitives (points, arcs, lines, etc), but complex shapes defined trough three dimension surfaces, that can not be directly processed by the tool-machine control. Hence, there is a need to create methods to allow the machining process. This article presents an approach to generate numerical control code (NC code) from 3D meshes geometries for a 2 ½ axis milling machine. First the theoretical constrains of 3D machining are explained. Then a method based on mesh geometries and unit vectors is presented. The results of this method were obtained by means of computer simulations. Finally, a series of proposals for the improvement the proposed method are presented.

Key words: CAD/CAM, geometric modelling machining, interpolation, CNC.


Maquinado de una sucesión de curvas
López, E., Colás, R., Rall, K., Ramírez, F.
Revista Ingenierías vol. IV, no. 11, 2001.

Abstract
Many objects in the nature are inherently of soft and continuous geometry, and so much the computers to model them as well as the machines that manufacture objects starting from those models should be able to reproduce such geometries. The computer aided design and manufacturing systems (CAD/CAM), the high quality typography, the artistic sketches and the movement of a cinema camera are examples of these conditions of soft and continuous bend. A technique of modeling faithful to the reality defines curves with different characteristic each one whose bend follows better the contour of the object that models. This article presents the problem of the machinning of geometries in a plane with geometric continuity, and it proposes a solution. At the same time reference is made to the different mathematical aspects of the problem.

Abstract
Several survey on machinability has been done, first to understand the process, and then to optimize and improve it under a particular criterion. In a machine-tool system, the role of the NC-code is critical, as it concerns not only the tool paths but also the cutting values. The optimal code is determined not only by the machine's control, but also the geometric conditions and the materials involved both in the tool and part to be machined.
This first article presents a method to study the relationship between the parameters of the NC-code by means of a mathematical model. Experimental results allowing the validation of the method are presented.

Key words: geometric modeling, machining, machinability, CNC.

Cartel en el VII Simposio de Ciencia y Tecnología, SEP-CONACyT 2002.

Resumen
En la actualidad los procesos de maquinado requieren de geometrías y acabados precisos que se encuentren dentro de las normas estandarizadas. Existe un número considerable de variables que intervienen en los procesos de manufactura, y mas específicamente en el proceso de remoción de material. Para comprender el alcance de estas variables es necesario tener un conocimiento cualitatuvo y cuantitativo de los parámetros que las rigen y las posibles interacciones entre ellos. A primera instancia, debe tenerse en cuenta las magnitudes de energía utilizada para la remoción de material. Esta energía está determinada por las fuerzas y velocidades en el plano de corte.Teniendo en cuenta que de la energía utilizada para el corte de material cerca del 98% se convierte en energía térmica, el conocimiento de la cantidad de calor que se genera en el proceso es determiante para poder establecer los rangos admisibles de las variables que producen esta generación de energía. El presente trabajo propone la metodología para determinar estos rangos de energía durante el maquinado en términos de temperatura, y obtener la relación que guardan con la velocidad de corte, para encontrar los parámetros óptimos del proceso de remoción de material.

Caracterización de superficies maquinadas por medio de parámetros de rugosidad
López, E. Ruiz, M. Delgado, M.
Foro de Investigación UDEM 2002.

Resumen
Las superficies de maquinado generadas por medio de los procesos de arranque de viruta exhiben características topográficas que juegan un papel fundamental en el desempeño de la funcionalidad del producto, y pueden estar determinadas por la fricción, lubricación, estética, etc.
Algunos de los comportamientos funcionales de la calidad de las superficies maquinadas pueden lograrse solamente bajo su caracterización.
Los métodos para analizar superficies se basan en su caracterización por medio de medidas tradicionales (altura promedio, distancia de pico a pico máxima, etc), por medio de transformaciones matemáticas (onduletas o "wavelets", análisis de frecuencia, etc) y geometría de fractales, entre otros. La caracterización en el dominio de la frecuencia se logra utilizando un análisis en espacio para posteriormente transformar las características en el dominio de la frecuencia.
Una vez conseguido esto, es posible: 1)encontrar la influencia directa de los parámetros de corte en la calidad superficial 2)mejorar los valores de corte 3)encontrar eventuales fallas de maquinado como vibraciones, sujeciones, etc., para una situación de maquinado dada.

Palabras clave: rugosidad, calidad superficial, maquinado, método de espectro de frecuencias.

Caracterización de superficies maquinadas por medio de parámetros de rugosidad
López, E. Cavazos, R. Delgado, M.
Revista Ingenierías vol. VI, no. 18, 2003.

Abstract
The proper functioning of a machined part is to a large extend dependent on the quality of its surface. The term "surface quality'' includes not only the dimensional qualities of the surface, but also the material properties, as hardness, color, and metallurgical structure. The dimensional quality having to do with the surface irregularities is known as the "roughness surface". The importance of the roughness of the final finish has long been appreciate. The urgent need for high production and low cost has developed techniques in wich roughness control is of proven importance not only in the finished piece but on the intermediate finishes as well. This work presents a result of a experiments series based in the relationship between the feed rate and the roughness measured in material's machined cut.

Key words: roughness, surface, machining.

Ramírez, F., López, E. Ortiz, U., Guzmán, R.
Revista Ingenierías vol. VII, no. 22, 2004.

Resumen
En el diseño de componentes mecánicos se encuentran frecuentemente cambios de geometría no uniformes que junto con las inclusiones y defectos dentro de los materiales pueden dar lugar a un incremento en el valor de los esfuerzos. La distribución de estos esfuerzos en piezas con geometría compleja se puede predecir y es deseable optimizar las zonas en donde estos se concentran. Este trabajo presenta el uso de algoritmos de crecimiento biológico en un ambiente de elemento finito para modificar geometrías modeladas con matemática de superficies libres y curvas splines para poder alcanzar la distribución uniforme y optimizada de esfuerzos que se encuentra en la naturaleza. Convirtiendo así al diseño mecánico en un "diseño biológico".

XI Congreso Internacional Anual SOMIM, Sept. 2005.

Abstract
The surface characteristics of a machining part in the functional performance of it have a great effect. In the case of elements of mechanisms the surface influences in the behavior of the parts in contact, while in the case of injection molds, this influence is not only present in the aesthetic appearance of the final product, but rather it can be decisive in phases of the manufacturing process. In previous works [LOP01, LOP02a, LOP02b, LOP03] roughness analysis of frequency has been presented to determine the influence of the machining parameters in the surface of products, and factors have been identified of having of direct influence in the superficial quality. This work presents a method to model surfaces based on layers, using to generate each layer the most significant values from the ruggedness in different ranges, in such a way that is possible to produce synthetic surfaces and with it is expected to predict characteristic of surface for machining situations given.

Keywords: roughness, spectrum of frequencies, modeling of surfaces, free surfaces, form optimization.

Abstract
The need to improve mechanical elements as well as to shorten the cycles of design has led to the exploration of alternatives that solve the problems raised by different needs. In the last decades, diverse researchers have observed in the nature the ability of natural structures to resist the loads to which the environment submits them.

In this work it is obtained from nature a model of "geometric natural optimization" which allows us to verify the application efficacy in the design of mechanical elements, verifying the levels of stress before and after modifying their geometry. Also validated are the arguments of C. Mattheck, which establish that the biological structures develop geometries that allow them to have uniform levels of stress in all their structure..

Vol. 6 No. 3 (2018) p.095-106, sept. 2018. ISSN: 2448-5837

Abstract
This paper describes a strategy used to calculate the estimation error in curves and surfaces fitting from the ISO 10360-6 standard for measuring machines and 3D digitizers, using the least squares criterion. The algebraic steps for the determination of the equations and calculation algorithms for the line case and a plane are detailed, as well as the case of a circle and a sphere. The plane and sphere entities are used as standard objects for the error estimation of a digitizer prototype developed by the authors.

Abstract
This work presents the development of a topological optimization method based on a finite element model to maximize the deformation energy generated on the working structure of the elbow of a mechanical press. The purpose is to minimize the amount of material, maximize stiffness, and provide information for its redesign for its fabrication. The results an increase of 57.89% in the safety factor. Likewise, the maximum stress was minimized by 37.86%, and the improvement in volume of the component was 11.66%.


Keywords: Topological optimization, deformation energy, finite element.

An agile multi-body additively manufactured soft actuator for soft manipulators
Jorge Morales, Francisco Ramírez Cruz, Francisco Eugenio López Guerrero
Revista Ingenierías Año XXIII, No. 89, Octubre - Diciembre 2020
p. 14-27. ISSN 1405-0676

Abstract
With the introduction of collaborative robots in production environments, the harm to workers by using traditional robots with rigid links is inherent. A new generation of robots made from flexible soft materials that decreases collision danger by self-deforming actions has been proposed as a promising solution for the human-robot collaboration environments. Recently, by the development of additive manufacture of elastic soft materials, new design opportunities arise for these so-called soft robots. However, robustness that is required for production environments is still not achieved. This paper presents a design approach of a fully additively manufactured three-axis soft pneumatic actuator. For its use in flexible soft robotic manipulator systems, design guidelines, a direct 3D printing process with elastic materials and a low-level PLC semi-automated pressure regulation control system are presented. To validate the proposed design, the actuator is manufactured and tested for maximum contact force, bending motion reaction and its signal response.

Abstract
This work describes an analysis of the hip joint under flexion using the finite element method. To achieve this, the acquisition methodology of the bone geometry for the femur using 3D scanning was used. As result it was probed the optimal femur transition based on the homogenous stress distribution along the transition between epiphysis and diaphysis according to Neuber. An analysis was made of the stress load distribution during a normal walking cycle.


Keywords: 3D Scanner, finite element, stress distribution, femur, shape improvement.

 

Validación fotoelástica de modelos basados en estructuras biológicas

Abstract
The axiom of constant stress cited by Mattheck in biological structures such as bifurcation of the branches of a tree shows a change in its geometry due to the stresses caused by the loads induced during its growth. Considering the internal contour of the bifurcation as a design area, two study models of semicircular curvature and B-Spline of third order are proposed. In this work the results are presented by means of finite elements of the distribution of stress along the curve of the fork that are experimentally contrasted with the photoelasticity technique that shows, when applying polarized light, color bands that identify the degree of deformation in the prepared specimen. The results show the homogeneity and minimization of stress product of adaptive growth..

Abstract
This article presents the evaluation of a 3D digitalization system using photogrammetry techniques, using as geometric reference an own-design prototype-printed Gauge block. The geometry of the Gauge block is based on the ISO 10360-6 standard, and was 3D printed with a ZCorp high quality prototype printer, with precision values known from other works. The scanning process was made using a commercial software photogrammetry application. The point cloud was processed, and the fitting curves and surfaces were made. Finally, the points cloud was compared against the CAD file. A statistical deviation analysis shows a mean error between -0.23mm to +0.60mm. The standard deviation was 0.56mm. The conclusions show a scanning process with good quality.


Keywords: Photogrammetry, 3D scanning system, ISO 10360-6, curves and surfaces fitting.
