METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROL OF AN AXIAL SKINNING APPARATUS

摘要

A control system for an axial skinning apparatus (100), including: •a force to cause a ceramic honeycomb part (110) to pass through the skinning apparatus (100); •a force that urges flowable cement on to the ceramic honeycomb part (110); •a sensor to detect the force on the cement; •a sensor to detect the force on the ceramic part; and•a controller (300) which receives: •a signal from the sensor on the flowable cement, •a signal from the sensor on the ceramic part (110), or both, and the controller (300) controls the pressure set point (310) of the cement source based on one or both of the received signals, and the controller (300) adjusts control parameters using feedback control and pseudo feed forward control. A method of using the axial skinning apparatus (100) is also disclosed.

1. A control system for an axial skinning apparatus, comprising:
at least one motive force that provides relative motion to cause a ceramic honeycomb part to pass through the skinning chamber of the skinning apparatus; at least one motive force that urges flowable cement through the skinning apparatus and on to the axial outer surface of the ceramic honeycomb part; at least one first sensor to detect the motive force on the flowable cement; at least one second sensor to detect the motive force on the ceramic part; and a controller which receives:
a signal from the at least one first sensor to detect the motive force on the flowable cement,a signal from the at least one second sensor to detect the motive force on the ceramic part, or both first and second sensor signals, and the controller controls the pressure set point of the cement source based on the received signal from the at least one first sensor, the at least one second sensor, or both, and the controller is configured to adjust control parameters using a combined feedback control and pseudo feed forward control.
