E-LOS ANGELES – Umbutho Wamasosha Asemoyeni ase-US uklomelise iMachina Labs inkontileka ka-$1.6 million yokuqhubekisela phambili nokusheshisa ukuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe bamarobhothi benkampani bokwenza isikhunta sensimbi sokukhiqiza okuyinhlanganisela enesivinini esikhulu.
Ikakhulukazi, iMachina Labs izogxila ekudaleni amathuluzi ensimbi okwelapha ngokushesha ukucubungula okungeyona i-autoclave kwezinhlanganisela.Umbutho Wezempi Wasemoyeni ufuna izindlela zokwandisa ukukhiqizwa nokunciphisa izindleko zezingxenye eziyinhlanganisela zezimoto zasemoyeni ezinomuntu nezingenamuntu.Ngokuya ngosayizi nezinto ezibonakalayo, amathuluzi okwenza izingxenye eziyinhlanganisela yendiza angabiza ngaphezulu kwesigidi esingu-$1 million ngayinye, ngesikhathi sokuhola esiyizinyanga eziyi-8 kuye kweziyi-10.
I-Machina Labs isungule inqubo entsha yerobhothi engakhiqiza izingxenye zensimbi ezinkulu neziyinkimbinkimbi esikhathini esingaphansi kweviki ngaphandle kwesidingo samathuluzi abizayo.Njengoba inkampani isebenza, amarobhothi amakhulu, anama-eksisi ayisithupha e-AI ahlome asebenza ndawonye esuka ezinhlangothini ezihlukene ukuze akhe ishidi lensimbi, elifana nendlela izingcweti ezinekhono ezisebenzise ngayo izando nezinsimbi ukuze zakhe izingxenye zensimbi.
Le nqubo ingasetshenziselwa ukwakha izingxenye zensimbi zeshidi kusuka kunsimbi, i-aluminium, i-titanium, nezinye izinsimbi.Ingase futhi isetshenziselwe ukwakha amathuluzi okwenza izingxenye eziyinhlanganisela.
Ngaphansi kwenkontileka yangaphambilini ne-Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), i-Machina Labs iqinisekise ukuthi amathuluzi ayo amelana ne-vacuum, azinze ngokushisa kanye nangobukhulu, futhi azwela kakhulu ukushisa kunezinsimbi zensimbi zendabuko.
"I-Machina Labs ibonise ukuthi ubuchwepheshe bayo obuthuthukisiwe bokwenza insimbi enezimvilophu ezinkulu kanye namarobhothi amabili angasetshenziswa ukudala amathuluzi ensimbi ayinhlanganisela, okuholela ekunciphiseni okukhulu kwezindleko zamathuluzi nokunciphisa isikhathi sokuthengisa izingxenye ezihlanganisiwe," kusho uCraig Neslen.., Inhloko ye-Autonomous AFRL Production for Platform Projects.“Ngaso leso sikhathi, njengoba kungekho mishini ekhethekile edingekayo ukuze kwenziwe amathuluzi ensimbi, ngeke nje ithuluzi lenziwe ngokushesha, kodwa izinguquko zokuklama zingenziwa ngokushesha uma kunesidingo.”
"Siyajabula ukusebenzisana ne-US Air Force ukuthuthukisa amathuluzi ayinhlanganisela ezinhlelo zokusebenza ezihlukahlukene," kwengeza u-Babak Raesinia, umsunguli we-Machina Labs kanye neNhloko Yezicelo Nobambiswano.“Kuyabiza ukuthenga amathuluzi.Ngikholwa ukuthi ubuchwepheshe buzokhulula ukuqoqwa kwezimali futhi buvumele lezi zinhlangano ukuthi zithande i-US Air Force, zidlulele kwimodeli efunwa yithuluzi.”
Ngaphambi kokubhekisa amabombo ku-showroom, lalela le ngxoxo yephaneli ekhethekile equkethe abaphathi abavela kubathengisi abane abaphezulu be-software yokukhiqiza base-US (i-BalTec, i-Orbitform, i-Promess ne-Schmidt).
Umphakathi wethu ubhekene nezinselelo ezingakaze zibonwe kwezomnotho, ezenhlalo nezemvelo.Ngokusho kukameluleki wabaphathi nombhali u-Olivier Larue, isisekelo sokuxazulula eziningi zalezi zinkinga singatholakala endaweni eyodwa emangalisayo: iToyota Production System (TPS).
