An additive manufacturing apparatus including: a wire nozzle that feeds a wirelike material onto a workpiece; and a machining head that irradiates the material fed onto the workpiece with a laser beam, and jets shielding gas from a supply source of the shielding gas. The machining head includes: a pipeline having a cylindrical shape and extending in a traveling direction of the laser beam, the laser beam being passed through the pipeline; and a gas supply port from which the shielding gas from the supply source is supplied to the pipeline.

An NC device that is a numerical control device controls an additive manufacturing apparatus. The additive manufacturing apparatus performs modeling by application of a melted material. The NC device includes a monitoring unit that monitors occurrence of a drop caused by a material after being melted remaining on the material before being melted, and a command generating unit that generates commands for causing the additive manufacturing apparatus to remove the drop that has occurred.

Additive manufacturing apparatus

An additive manufacturing method uses an additive manufacturing device performing additive machining by controlling a machining head including a nozzle to supply columnar build material to a machining region on a target surface and a beam nozzle to irradiate the machining region with beam melting the build material, the nozzle and the beam nozzle being provided non-coaxially. When additive machining is performed in a state where the machining head is located with central axes of the beam and the build material being positioned on a single vertical plane, the machining path is divided into divided machining paths such that the machining head is moved in one direction along a direction of the build-material central axis when motion of the machining head is projected onto a plane perpendicular to an irradiation direction of the beam, and the machining head is moved along each divided machining path to perform additive machining.

An additive manufacturing apparatus includes a laser oscillator that is a beam source that outputs a beam, and a rotary motor that is a driving unit that changes the relative positions of a material fed from a wire spool that is a supply source of a wire that is the material and an object to be machined. The driving unit is capable of performing first driving for feeding the material from the supply source toward the object to be machined and second driving for pulling back the fed material to the supply source, and switches from the first driving to the second driving on the basis of a machining program.

Additive manufacturing apparatus and numerical control device

An additive manufacturing method includes: forming first and second linear beads parallel to each other under a same predetermined formation condition such that a gap having a predetermined width is formed between the first and second linear beads; forming a third linear bead in the gap under the same formation condition; forming, after forming the third linear bead, the linear bead that is formed as an even-numbered line under the formation condition such that the linear bead is parallel to the first linear bead and a gap having a predetermined width is formed between the linear bead formed as an even-numbered line and a linear bead formed two lines before; and forming, after forming the third linear bead, the linear bead that is formed as an odd-numbered line in the gap between the linear bead formed immediately before and the linear bead formed three lines before under the formation condition.

Set values of a gauge-alteration-in-rolling amount after the next (i&plus;1)-th stand and subsequent stands are modified, using the rolling results obtained when a leading end of a succeeding material passes through the i-th stand and the gauge results of the leading end portion of the succeeding material detected by the i-th stand outlet side gauge detector. The gauge results of the leading end of the succeeding material on the i-th stand outlet side is tracked up to the (i&plus;1)-th stand, to thereby control the rolling speed of the i-th stand so as to make constant a mass-flow from the leading end of the succeeding material on the (i&plus;1)-th stand inlet side. Thereby, the reverse off gauge caused at the succeeding stand, by turning on the AGC of the preceding stand, can be prevented and the gauge can be controlled to a desired value from the coil leading end portion.

In order to control an apparatus, such as a rolling mill, a control device may use a pre-set operation pattern to generate a pre-set command signal, which is then modified. That first modification may be part of a feedback loop in dependence on the variation of a variable operation device of the apparatus, on a plurality of pre-set signals may be combined by fuzzy logic. Then the relationship between the modified pre-set command signal and the variation of the variable operation device is investigated to generate a compensation signal which is used to modify further the pre-set command signal. In a feedback loop, that further modification may compensate for changes in the operating point of the loop, due to changes in the apparatus being controlled. In a fuzzy logic arrangement, the compensation signal may be a further control pattern developed by the control device itself, which is combined with the pre-set patterns by fuzzy logic. The control device may be in the form of a series of modules.
