Abstract

One of the key trends in the development of the Russian aircraft manufacturing industry is the use of additive technologies to fabricate structures from polymer composite materials. Programmable layup using multi-axis CNC systems is considered one of the most highly automated methods. These systems are controlled via a human-machine interface (HMI). This paper examines the development of an HMI for a domestically produced robotic automated layup system designed to create preforms for components (specifically, structural elements of the MS-21 aircraft wing). The data flow structure between system components is analyzed, and the communication protocols employed between these components are justified. The design of the safety system based on Siemens controllers is described. Finally, the implementation of the human-machine interface – validated during acceptance testing and industrial operation of the automated layup system – is discussed.
