Application of waterjet cutting when processing parts from polymer composite materials
The article deals with the application of a robot machine tool for cutting oversized stretch-forming thin-walled panels made from polymeric composite materials (PCM), the tool being produced by the specialists of the Engineering School, the Far Eastern Federal University. Described are the lines of the investigations in the new techniques of marking and cutting with minimum tolerance the panels consisting in the cutting zone of heterogeneous composite materials and structural inserts of different metals. The adopted solutions may be applied when manufacturing stretch-forming thin-walled panels RMB by the companies of the aerospace industry, as well as in shipbuilding.
