Improving the Efficiency of the Technological Process of Electromechanical Treatment of Machine Components by Minimizing the Number of Current-Carrying Circuit Elements and Designing Special Equipment

Abstract

The article is devoted to improving the efficiency of the electromechanical processing technology for parts of agricultural machinery through minimizing the number of elements in the current-carrying circuit and designing special equipment. The authors examine the technology of electromechanical restoration and hardening of agricultural machinery components, focusing on the problems of spare parts shortage and insufficient production capacity of Russian manufacturers. Existing installations for electromechanical processing are analyzed, their advantages and disadvantages are identified, and the importance of automation processes for enhancing the performance characteristics of processed surfaces is emphasized. A developed prototype of an automated installation equipped with a specialized voltage analysis module and software that contributes to reducing electrical losses and improving equipment operating conditions is presented. The design features of the specially designed fixture are described, including calculations of key components and material requirements. Recommendations are provided regarding the selection of optimal designs and materials for creating various units of the fixture.
