Abstract
A component production method includes: a step of binding a long frame by a plurality of support devices arranged along the frame; a step of measuring, with a distance sensor, a distance to the frame supported by the plurality of support devices; a step in which, based on frame shape data prerecorded in a memory, the support devices move support positions where the frame is supported so that a calculated radial position of the frame being supported by the support devices matches the data about the frame shape; a step of fixing the frame in a state in which the data about the frame shape matches the radial position of the frame; and a step of performing a hole-making operation on the fixed frame.
Claims4
A component production method comprising:
- a step of supporting a first member by a plurality of support parts, arranged spaced apart from each other along the first member, each of the plurality of support parts comprising a base having a horizontal plate portion and a perpendicular plate portion, a first clamp movable in a horizontal direction, a second clamp having a contact portion movable in an up-down direction, a slider, and a control;
- a step of detecting, by a sensor, information about a shape of the first member supported by the plurality of support parts;
- a step of moving using a drive control, based on the information about the shape of the first member detected by the sensor and shape data of the first member prerecorded in a memory, the drive control drives each of the sliders to move the plurality of support parts to support positions where the first member is supported so that the first member supported by the plurality of support parts matches the shape data of the first member;
- a step of fixing the first member in a state in which the information about the shape of the first member detected by the sensor matches the shape data of the first member;
- and
- a step of performing machining with respect to the fixed first member.
A component production system comprising:
- a plurality of support parts arranged spaced apart from each other along a first member and supporting the first member, each of the plurality of support parts comprising a base having a horizontal plate portion and a perpendicular plate portion, a first clamp movable in a horizontal direction, a second clamp having a contact portion movable in an up-down direction, a slider, and a control;
- a sensor for detecting information about a shape of the first member supported by the plurality of support parts;
- a memory in which shape data of the first member is prerecorded;
- a drive control for moving, based on the information about the shape of the first member detected by the sensor and the shape data of the first member prerecorded in the memory, the drive control drives each of the sliders to move the plurality of support parts to support positions where the support parts support the first member, so that the first member supported by the plurality of support parts matches the shape data of the first member;
- and
- a machining robot for performing machining with respect to the first member, wherein
- the drive control stops moving of the plurality of support parts in a state in which the information about the first member detected by the sensor matches the shape data of the first member, and the plurality of support parts fixes the first member.
