Abstract Scope |
Standard operation of hybrid manufacturing systems, where multiple processing conditions are interchangeably used within the same build volume, has traditionally leveraged existing Computer Numeric Control (CNC) platforms for integrated motion and material processing control. Commercially available metal additive systems via directed-energy deposition (DED) are often retrofitted on the motion platform of existing 5-axis CNC machining systems. These systems inherently rely on static, pre-compiled G-code for all operations. However, the introduction of additional processing conditions within standard subtractive platforms necessitates an improved control architecture. This work investigates a decoupled processing architecture through the open-source Robot Operating System (ROS), where control of motion planning and material processing conditions are distributed in separate control nodes for dynamic operational capabilities. A synchronization architecture is proposed such that operations are coordinated, yet independent. The results of this work enable dynamic modification of hybrid processing conditions at multiple timescales, enabling data-driven hybrid manufacturing control. |
