  1. TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF SOFIA FINAL YEAR PROJECT BACHELOR’S DEGREE Manufacturing of a polyurethane shovel for a snow-fighting vehicle STUDENT: Anita Petrovska Supervisor: MEng Silviya Angelova

  2. Introduction • Low cost tooling and extreme wear and abrasion resistance are some of the benefits cast urethanes can offer – properties that could serve a wide variety of end markets. • Comparison of polyurethane to rubber, plastic, and metals - Product engineers prefer urethane. Its parts provide longer service life when compared to plastics and rubber, and lower noise abatement properties when compared to metals.

  3. Application • Power transmission industry • Food processing industry • Sports & Athletic equipment manufacturing • Mining and drilling equipment • Computer chip manufacturing • Pipe/Plumbing Industry • Marine industry • Ski industry • Etc.

  4. State-of-the-art and trends • The history of the polyurethane begins in the 1937 when Dr. Otto Bayer discovers the basic PU chemistry. • The polyurethanes industry is always seeking to reduce its impact on the environment and is currently exploring ways of increasing the energy efficiency of manufacturing processes and creating end products that can be used to save energy. • "Science For A Better Life“ • “Dream production” • Building insulation • Innovative solutions for air, sea and rail transportation • Etc.

  5. Purpose of the project • Measuring the given model and making sketch with the corresponding dimensions • Drawing a 3D model of the detail by means of a relevant software – KOMPAS 3D • Constructive decisions about the mould form – way of molding the polyurethane, materials, type; • Drawing the tool by means of KOMPAS 3D – technical documentation about the detail and the tool • Programming with a CAM software – ESPRIT • Manufacturing of the tool parts on CNC vertical center machine and universal milling machine, assembly of the parts and welding, and molding of the detail.

  6. Analysis of the given part … • Measuring of the given part by means of vernier gauge, angle gauge, and durometer • Decisions about the tearing of the given part – adding ribs and fillets in the critical edges • Making sketch of the given model

  7. Technical data about the material used • Physical PropertiesMetric Density 1.22 g/cc • Mechanical Properties Metric Hardness, Shore A 86.0 Tensile Strength at Break 46.0 MPa Tensile Strength, Yield 46.0 MPa Elongation at Break >= 300 % Compression Set 11.0 %@Temperature 23.0 °C 36.0 %@Temperature 70.0 °C • Processing PropertiesMetric Melt Temperature 200 - 220 °C Mold Temperature 20.0 - 40.0 °C Ejection Temperature 50.0 °C

  9. Defining of the mass of the detail • m [g] = V [cm3].ρ [g/cm3] = 491512 g = 4.915 kg. The improved element – with added ribs and fillets

  10. Construction of the molding tool The tool for the shovel will consist of two main parts, so it will be typical two-pieced matrix. The first will be a “bed” for the bottom of the detail, which will have a dish-form. And the second part will copy the upper side of the shovel – its ribs, fillets, etc. The best way of molding this element is rotated vertical through its shorter part of the transom-shape base.

  11. First main part of the tool – “the bed” For the first main part of the matrix – the “bed”, it is convenient to be made of Iron. On its part, the bed will consist of 4 elements, which will copy the shape of the outer sides of the shovel, and later on will be welded to form one whole piece. When the dimensions for the tool are defined it is taken into account that the separated parts should be welded, so ≈4 mm are added to each side that should be welded to another one. The shrinkage of the material is 1 %, so 1% is added to each dimension of the tool elements. The elements from the first part of the tool are machined on Universal Milling machine FU 251.

  12. The second main part of the tool – “Shaping mould surface” The second main part of the matrix is made of seven aluminum pieces. It is lighter material, easier for machining and that is why we choose it for the upper part. These elements need much more machining than the elements from the first part of the tool. They are the shaping piece of the matrix. Here is the ready welded model of the upper-part.

  13. CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) with ESPRIT • Introduction to ESPRIT • Take the ready 3D model of the part • Put it in ESPRIT and choosing the allocation on the table • Use of the appropriate functions with its appropriate options and parameters – depth of cut, clearance, retract, % stepover, feed rate, speed, approach, start position, offset, and many others. • Choosing the tools for the cutting and their modes of operation

  15. Modeling of the tool parts • The CNC machine that we use for the purpose is a 3-axis vertical machining center Deckel Maho DMC 1035v with Heidenhain iTNC 530 -control. It is ISO-based control and machining language. • X- / Y- / Z-axismm1,035 / 560 / 510 • Main drive (40 / 100% DC)kW13 / 9 (19 / 14) • Speed range up torpm.10,000 (14,000)* • Rapid traverse X / Y / Zm/min30 • Tool magazinepockets20 (30)* • Workpiece weight max.kg1,000

  18. Conclusion The manufacturing of polyurethane details is quite interesting, but still a long process, which passes through many steps. These steps are obligatory no matter if the detail is small or big, and if you need only single one detail or a mass-production. With the modern technologies and software, and hardware it is a little bit easier to systemize the process and be more accurate.
