摘要:
In a multi-axis machine tool comprising a slide way (2) aligned on a longitudinal axis (X), a travelling column (3) coupled via one end (3a) with the slide way (2), an arm (4) mounted slidably to the column (3) and traversable at least in a first direction (Z) normal to the longitudinal axis (X) of the slide way (2), and a machining head (5) carried by the arm (4), the material used for the arm (4) is one typified by low thermal expansion.
摘要:
A toolhead (1) for use on a multi-axis machine tool consists of a support assembly (2) equipped with a pivoting spindle (3) designed to accept a removable tool-holder (4), and centred on a machining axis (J) about which a tool (U) clamped to the tool-holder (4) can be driven in rotation. Also forming part of the toolhead (1) is a depth stop (9) affording an active surface (10) substantially transverse to the machining axis (J) and positionable against a surface (S) of a workpiece (P). The depth stop (9) is mounted to the support assembly (2) and capable of movement along the machining axis (J) between a first position, distanced from the spindle (3), and a second position of proximity to the spindle (3). Transducers (12) incorporated into the toolhead (1) are able to sense the position of the active surface (10) relative to the support assembly (2), and thus used to control the depth to which the workpiece (P) is penetrated by the tool (U).
摘要:
Workpieces of large dimensions, typically body pressings or fuselage panels, are supported and secured for machining by a device (3) capable of movement in a vertical direction (D) and adaptable thus to the particular geometry of the workpiece. The vertical movement is produced by a rod (5) of which the top end carries a head (6) incorporating a pivotable fixture mechanism (7), equipped with a suction cup (16) connected to a source (18) of negative pressure by way of a suction duct (17) and activated to clamp the work once the head (6) is in position.
摘要:
Complex workpieces (2), particularly aeronautical components made of solid stock presenting a bottom wall (3) and at least one stiffening rib (4) transverse to the bottom wall, are machined using a device (1) having a tool head (6) furnished with a transmission component (7) rotatable about a relative longitudinal axis s (X), and a tool (22), typically a milling cutter, connected to the transmission component (7) and capable of piercing the transverse rib (4). The longitudinal axis (Y) of the tool (22) extends obliquely to the axis (X) of the transmission component (7) so that the stiffening rib (4) can be pierced at a point close to the bottom wall (3) of the workpiece (2). The device also incorporates a feeler mechanism (24) associated with the tool head (6) and designed to engage the bottom wall (3) during the movement of the tool (22) toward the machining location, in such a way that the position of the tool head (6) can be actively controlled and the tool deployed at a selected distance from the bottom wall.
摘要:
A device for checking countersink dimensions comprises a measuring head (2) associated with a spindle (3) of a multi-axis process machine (4), and a processing unit operatively associated with the spindle (3) to control spindle movements, the measuring head (2) comprising a contact element (5) that can be inserted into a countersink (101) and a comparator element (7) which, by coming into contact with the countersink and withdrawing, cieLecLs the stroke of the contact element (5) inside the countersink (101). A floating member (22) automatically corrects any alignment errors between the contact element (5) and the axis of the countersink (101).
