7--13

The paper presents the concept of an innovative technological line intended for the processing of long linear profiles used in engineering steel and aluminium structures, which can be both hollow and open section profiles. The line is set up with seven main sections: profile loading system, input roller conveyor, plasma arc cutting section, circular saw cutting section, robot welding section, output roller conveyor and profile packaging system. The assumptions adopted to create the concept of the techno-logical line were specified. A block diagram of the line and drawings showing the structure of its selected elements were depicted. The features of the technological line documenting its product and process innovativeness were indicated. The proposed technological line is built in the AGICO Group company, but it can also be successfully implemented in other companies dealing with the processing of long linear profiles.

The aim of this study was to determine the influence of factors such as temperature and glutaraldehyde (GA) concentration on the mechanical properties of porcine pericardia, in order to propose the recommended optimal conditions of a cross-linking process. It was also to verify whether tannic acid (TA), a natural cross-linking agent that stabilizes collagenous tissues by a different mechanism than GA, may positively influence the strength of pericardium. Methods: The samples were incubated at various temperatures (4, 22, and 37 °C) and GA concentration solutions (0.6, 1.5 and 3%) for 7 days. Three series were selected and additionally cross-linked with 0.3% TA for another 7 days. Mechanical properties of cross-linked pericardium samples, i.e., ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elastic modulus (E) were measured in uniaxial tensile testing. The hyperelastic model for incompressible materials – isotropic by Ogden [24] and anisotropic by Fung [7] were utilized to describe the mechanical behaviour of treated pericardium. Results: The temperature has an influence on cross-linking effects; the lowest values of UTS were reported for specimens cross-linked at 22 °C, while the mechanical properties of series treated at 4 °C or 37 °C were comparable. At a particular temperature of incubation, the GA concentrations have not affected the mechanical properties of tissues. The dependence between mechanical parameters and agent concentration was only observed for specimens treated with GA at 37 °C. Conclusions: The conditions of the cross-linking process affect the mechanical properties of the porcine pericardium. Room temperature (22 °C) and the concentration of 1.5% GA occurred to be ineffective. The mechanical properties of GA-treated pericardium were improved by an additional TA cross-linking.
