The company TACSA - Tratamientos y Acabados por Cataforesis S.A. has developed the project "Artificial Vision for the optimization of the position of the part within the frame" which has been subsidized with the support of ACCIÓ within the framework of the Advanced Digital Technologies Coupons program.
The objective of the DIH4CAT (eurecat) project is to develop a system that, depending on the morphology of the part to be painted, can show us the best position within the bath to avoid both air bubbles and liquid retention. By using this simulation system we will be able to considerably reduce the design time of the different frames, directly impacting on the improvement of competitiveness.
CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation tools have been used. These are tools for analyzing and simulating the behavior of fluids and their interaction on a submerged body.
Several inclinations have been simulated to see if the system is able to detect the behaviour of the fluid. Thus, it can be observed in Image 1 that with an inclination of 45º an air bubble forms in a part of the piece, then by modifying this inclination we can find out the angle at which it disappears, Image 2, in this case the optimum angle would be 0º.
