View Patent ↗In a building step, a base measurement processing of acquiring a measured height by measuring, using a shape sensor, a height of a base at a position where a torch is to be moved when depositing weld beads; a welding condition setting processing of obtaining a planned height of the base at the position where the torch is to be moved from a deposition plan, comparing the measured height acquired in the base measurement processing and the planned height to obtain a differential height, and setting a welding condition in a feedback correction for reducing the differential height; and a correction ratio update processing of performing a selection from a plurality of correction ratios set in advance and updating a correction ratio in the welding condition based on a selected correction ratio are executed.
1 . A method for manufacturing an additively-manufactured object, wherein weld beads obtained by melting and solidifying a filler material is deposited with a torch while moving the torch to build a built object, the method comprising:
a building processing including:
moving the torch from a starting to an ending to deposit the weld beads based on a deposition plan that defines a shape of the weld beads obtained from a target shape of the built object and a trajectory of the torch for forming the weld beads,
a base measurement processing of acquiring a measured height by measuring, using a shape sensor, a height of a base at a position where the torch is to be moved when depositing the weld beads,
a welding condition setting processing of obtaining a planned height of the base at the position where the torch is to be moved from the deposition plan, comparing the measured height acquired in the base measurement processing and the planned height to obtain a differential height, and setting a welding condition in a feedback correction for reducing the differential height, and
a correction ratio update processing of performing a selection from a plurality of correction ratios set in advance according to a shape characteristic of a position where the weld beads are deposited and updating a correction ratio in the welding condition based on a selected correction ratio,
wherein when the position where the torch is to be moved is in a starting area for depositing the weld beads, a correction ratio corresponding to a shape characteristic of the starting area is selected from the plurality of correction ratios set for each of shape characteristics to update the welding condition so as to change a travel speed,
wherein when the position where the torch is to be moved is in an ending area for depositing the weld beads, a correction ratio corresponding to a shape characteristic of the ending area is selected from the plurality of correction ratios to update the welding condition, and
wherein when the position where the torch is to be moved is in a middle area between the starting area and the ending area, the correction ratio is not selected and the welding condition set is maintained.
2 . The method for manufacturing an additively-manufactured object according to claim 1 , wherein
a correction interval is provided for maintaining a state in which the correction ratio is changed for a predetermined period.
3 . The method for manufacturing an additively-manufactured object according to claim 2 , wherein
the plurality of correction ratios is set in advance according to a shape characteristic of a position specified based on the deposition plan.
4 . The method for manufacturing an additively-manufactured object according to claim 2 , wherein
in the correction ratio update processing, a base profile is obtained from a measurement result of the shape sensor, a shape characteristic of the position where the torch is to be moved is obtained from the base profile and a target profile obtained from the deposition plan, the selection from the plurality of correction ratios set in advance is performed according to the shape characteristic, and the correction ratio in the welding condition is updated based on the selected correction ratio.
5 . The method for manufacturing an additively-manufactured object according to claim 1 , wherein
the plurality of correction ratios is set in advance further according to a shape characteristic of a position specified based on the deposition plan.
6 . The method for manufacturing an additively-manufactured object according to claim 1 , wherein
in the correction ratio update processing, a base profile is obtained from a measurement result of the shape sensor, a shape characteristic of the position where the torch is to be moved is obtained from the base profile and a target profile obtained from the deposition plan, the selection from the plurality of correction ratios set in advance is performed according to the shape characteristic, and the correction ratio in the welding condition is updated based on the selected correction ratio.
