AUTOMATION AND DIGITALIZATION OF ULTRASONIC TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESSES

Having analyzed the literature sources, it is revealed that digital production includes not only full automation of production processes, but also the creation of a multi-level infrastructure for their control on the basis of information technologies. Technical solutions based on this approach will significantly intensify production processes. The possibilities of automation and digitalization of ultrasonic technological processes are viewed through the creation of a hardware and software com-plex that includes technological and measuring equipment, as well as software to select the most effective technical solu-tions. Some general principles of creating ultrasonic technologies are substantiated, their stages of development include setting the task, analysis of the processing object, selection of the processing scheme and equipment, process control and quality monitoring. Methodological approaches to the implementation of production processes with a multi-level process control infrastructure based on information technologies are proposed. Examples of developed software products are given, with the help of which search engine optimization methods are used to select equipment and rational processing modes. It shows not only the possibility of using automated technology, but also the creation of a self-learning technological system based on it. The development and creation of equipment for the implementation of the proposed technical solutions has in its basis general principles of using numerical control software. The proposed algorithm can be used for a wide range of ultra-sonic technologies: cleaning, surface plastic deformation, coating, cutting, etc. In addition, the combination of the choice of technical and information solutions makes quick switch from one type of processing to another possible. Recommendations on the implementation of the proposed technical and information solutions are given.
