Micromachines (Basel). 2023 Oct 10;14(10):1920. doi: 10.3390/mi14101920.

Abstract

In order to enhance the automation level and achieve high precision in the ultrasonic strengthening of aviation blade surfaces, this study focuses on investigating the intelligent control strategy and optimizing the machining parameters for robotic ultrasonic surface strengthening. By designing an intelligent compliance control method, the end-effector can achieve the compliant output of contact force. The fuzzy PID control method is used to optimize the regulation performance of the compliant force control system. This compliance control strategy enables the optimization of the compliance device, effectively improving the static and dynamic characteristics of the compliance controller. Based on this, an experimental method (RSM) is designed to analyze the interaction effects of contact force, feed rate, and repetition times on the surface quality of the blade. The optimal combination of robotic strengthening parameters is determined, providing a practical reference for the application of robotic compliance control in the ultrasonic strengthening of aviation blade surfaces.
