Abstract
A regenerating system for a forge die (1) according to the invention comprises a detecting device (10) of a shape (2) of a die (1) to be regenerated, a welding system (30) configured such as to deposit welding material in the die (1), and a processor (20) configured such as to define welding pathways (11) in order to activate the welding system (30), wherein the welding pathways (11) are defined according to the shape (2) detected and a predefined shape of the die (1).
Claims17
A regeneration system for a forge die, comprising:
- a detecting device for 3D detecting of a shape of said die to be regenerated;
- a welding system adapted to deposit welding material in the detected shape;
- a processor connected to said detecting device and to said welding system, wherein said processor is configured to define welding pathways for said welding system according to the shape detected, the processor comprising a control unit adapted to:
- section a 3D model of said detected shape on parallel surfaces, said sectioning defining a plurality of virtual surfaces at least partially superposed;
- compare surfaces representative of a predefined shape of said die with said corresponding virtual surfaces, to define welding surfaces which represent the missing zones in the scarfed die in relation to the predefined die;
- define at least a delimiting line of said welding surfaces according to said comparison;
- determine a depositing of welding within said at least a delimiting line, wherein said depositing is realised by means of a zigzag welding pathway;
- determine a first depositing of a welding layer along said at least a delimiting line, thus defining at least a containing border of welding;
- and said filling module being configured to determine said depositing of welding in said welding surfaces internally of said at least a containing border.
