Large-area surface processes at components with a production volume >30.000 pc./a require efficient path generation and processing. Supplementary to the 3d segment process developed by Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT tools are developed for scalable robot-guided decoating process. With respect to scan field size and angle of incidence a software is set up, which inherently allows a free implementation of genetic algorithms for finding a sufficient solution with the minimal number of scan fields and the corresponding optic positions. Furthermore, process optimization is done by a systematical analysis of resin ablation and heat affection using NIR short pulses at single spots, lines and rectangular. The conflicting objectives of increasing adhesive strength and decreasing cycle time for the specific FRP application is analyzed and quantified. |
