  • Publication number: 20220395905
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a laminating-printing system which can further improve the quality of laminated-printed objects. The present invention provides a laminating-printing system including a laminating-printing unit (10) which prints the layers and sequentially laminates the layers; and a concentration adjusting unit (30) which adjusts the concentration of gas components in the shield gas, the laminating-printing unit (10) including: an irradiation section including an irradiation source of energy rays to irradiate the powder material, and a printing section including a chamber filled with the shield gas and a printing stage on which the layers are printed and laminated, and the concentration adjusting unit (30) including: a purification section which removes a first gas component which is an impurity in the shield gas based on the powder material; and a supply section which supplies a second gas component selected based on the powder material inside of the chamber as needed.

  • Patent number: 9803665
    Abstract: A control system for a machine is disclosed. The control system may have a bypass passage situated to allow fluid to bypass an actuator, and a warmup valve disposed within the bypass passage that is movable between flow-passing and-blocking positions. A controller is configured to move the warmup valve to the flow-passing position, fix a displacement position of the pump, compare the pressure of the fluid of the actuator with a threshold, and move the warmup valve to the flow-blocking position and reduce a pump outlet pressure when the pressure of the fluid is greater than the threshold. The controller may be configured to move the warmup valve to the flow-passing position, fix a displacement position of the pump, and adjust an input speed of the pump in response to the signal.
