| 发明名称 | Methods for automated deposition of hardfacing material on earth-boring tools and related systems | ||
| 摘要 | Methods of depositing hardfacing material portions of earth-boring tools may involve supporting at least a portion of an earth-boring tool in a holder of a workpiece positioner, the holder being movable in at least a third plane. A location of a surface of the at least a portion of the earth-boring tool may be determined utilizing at least one sensor. The workpiece positioner, the sensor, and a torch positioner comprising a hardfacing torch movable in at least a first plane perpendicular to the third plane and a second plane parallel to the third plane may be controlled utilizing a programmable control system to cause the torch positioner to oscillate the hardfacing torch in the second plane while selectively causing the workpiece positioner to move the holder in the third plane and causing the torch to deposit hardfacing material on the surface. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A system for depositing hardfacing material on at least a portion of an earth-boring tool, comprising: a torch positioner comprising a hardfacing torch movable in at least a first plane and a second, perpendicular plane, the hardfacing torch being configured to deposit hardfacing on at least a portion of an earth-boring tool; a workpiece positioner comprising a holder configured to support the at least a portion of the earth-boring tool in the holder, the holder being movable in at least a third plane parallel to the second plane; at least one sensor configured to determine a location of a surface of the at least a portion of the earth-boring tool supported by the workpiece positioner; and a programmable control system operatively connected to the torch positioner, the workpiece positioner, and the at least one sensor, the programmable control system being programmed to cause the torch positioner to oscillate the hardfacing torch in the second plane while selectively causing the workpiece positioner to move the holder in the third plane and causing the torch to deposit hardfacing material on the surface of the at least a portion of the earth-boring tool. | ||
