Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to workpiece guides particularly for use in machine tools such as grinding machines in which an elongate rotary workpiece is supported on an intermediate position in its length and/or at its end for a machining operation.
- Presently most cam grinding machines utilise workpiece steady rests which have contact shoes which are either set at fixed positions set to support a main bearing at the maximum outer diameter tolerance in which case smaller diameter bearings are loose in the steady rest while camshafts having over tolerance main bearings are marked due to excessive gripping pressure or two fixed tips may be provided with one spring loaded grip to ensure a clearance free support. However, as main journals may have diametral tolerances of 0.015mm to 0.02mm, whilst maintaining shake free support of the journal, the journal centre-line will vary by plus or minus O.Olmm relative to the axis about which the cams are ground. Thus although the problem of excessive gripping pressure which can arise with a case of three fixed support points is overcome, another problem, that is supporting the journal off-centre from the correct centre-line is introduced.
- U.S. Patent Specification No. 4276723 discloses a steady rest for supporting a workpiece to be ground comprising three contact shoes which are simultaneously movable towards and away from the workpiece centre-line so that workpieces of varying diameter can be supported and maintained on a fixed centre line of rotation. The top contact shoe is mounted for pivotal movement to a position clear of the work area to facilitate loading unloading of the workpiece, one hydraulic operator being provided for pivoting the top contact shoe into and out of its operative position and a second operator being provided for moving the two lower non-pivoting contact shoes towards or away from a workpiece.
- Whilst provision is made for adjusting the three point support to suit bearings of different diameters, no provision is made for ensuring that the supports hold the bearing on the required centre-line axis whilst at the same time avoiding excessive gripping pressure to the bearing.
- The invention provides a workpiece guide for supporting a rotary workpiece comprising a base, three jaw members movably mounted on the base to embrace and ; support a workpiece for rotation'about an axis defined by the positions of the jaw members, drive means for closing the jaw members to grip the workpiece and for releasing the member sufficiently to permit the workpiece to rotate therein whilst still supported coaxially with said axis by the jaw members, and means to adjust the jaw members to alter the position of the axis defined by the jaw members whereby the axis can be set to coincide with an axis of a machine tool on which the guide is to be used and a workpiece then supported on that axis in the guide.
- The following is a description of a specific embodiment of the invention, reference being made to the accompanying drawings in which:
- Figure 1 is a side elevation of a workpiece guide taken from one side of the guide;
- Figure 2 is a side elevation of a workpiece guide looking at the opposite side;
- Figure 3 is a front elevation of the workpiece guide;
- Figure 4 is a section on the line 4-4 on Figure 3;
- Figure 5 is a section on the line 5-5 on Figure 4;
- Figure 6 is a section on the line 6-6 on Figure 4; and
- Figure 7 is a section on the line 7-7 on Figure 4.
- The drawings illustrate a workpiece guide for a machine tool for supporting an elongate workpiece to be rotated at an intermediate position along the length of the workpiece and/or at an end of the workpiece to ensure that the workpiece axis coincides with the axis of rotation of the machine tool. The workpiece guide is, by way of example, particularly applicable to grinding machines for grinding the cam lobes on motor vehicle camshafts. Examples of such machines are described and illustrated in our U.K. Patent No.1596635 and U.K. Patent Application No. 8217890.
- Referring now to Figures 1 to 4 of the drawings, there is shown a workpiece guide for use on a machine tool having a bed formed with a slideway on which centres or chucks are mounted to support a workpiece for rotation about a fixed axis extending parallel to the slideway. The workpiece guide comprises a housing indicated generally by the
reference numeral 10 to be mounted on the slideway of the machine tool bed. The fixed axis of rotation of the machine tool is indicated at 11 and the housing has anopen front 12 from which three workpiece guides 13, 14 and 15 project to encircle the axis 11 and support a workpiece for rotation on the axis as described below. - The housing comprises a
base member 16 to which two upstandingparallel side walls top wall 19 andrear walls screws 23. The front side of the housing is left open as indicated above for the guide members 13 to 15 to project from. - In use the housing is mounted with the
base member 16 on the upper surface of the slide of a machine tool bed which is not illustrated. The slideway is of dovetail cross-section and to lock the housing to the base the lower ends of theside walls lugs 24 extending below the.basemember 16 which are undercut as indicated at 25 on the sides thereof facing across the base to engage one side of the dovetail section slideway. Theclamp 26 extends across the other side of thebase member 16 and is undercut as indicated at 27 to enage the other side of the dovetail section slideway. Theclamp 26 is secured to thebase 16 by means of screw threadedstuds 28 projecting from thebase member 16 through theclamp 26 to receivenuts 29 for tightening theclamp 26 against the side of the slideway to lock the housing to the slideway. - Referring to Figure 7 of the drawings, the
sidewalls circular apertures apertures annular plates apertures screws 36. A hollowcylindrical hub 37 extends through theannular plates plate 17 is closed and is formed with an outwardly projectingintegral flange 38 which bears on one side of theannular plate 34. Aseparate collar 39 freely slidable along the hub engages the other side of theplate 34. Setscrews 40 countersunk into theflange 38 extend through the flange, with clearance throughopenings 41 in theplate 34 and into screw threadedbores 42 in thecollar 39. With thescrews 40 slackened to release the clamping pressure of theflange 38 andcollar 39 to thering 34, the end of the hub can be adjusted radially with respect to theannular plate 34. Thescrews 40 can then be tightened to lock the end of the hub in the required position of adjustment. At the other end of the hub in the aperture inplate 35 twoseparate collars 39 encircle the hub on either side ofplate 35 to supportthe hub radially and are locked together byscrews 40 countersunk into theouter flange 39 and extending throughopenings 41 in theannular plate 35 into screw threadedbores 42 in theinner collar 39. Thus when thescrews 40 are slackened, the hub can be adjusted radially in any direction as required and can then be locked into place by tightening thescrews 40 to clamp theflange 38,collar 39 andannular plate 34 at one end of the hub together and to clamp thecollar 39 and annular 35 at the other end of the hub together. - The
hub 37 has acentral bore 43 in which a shaft 44 is mounted inbearings bearings bore 43 in the hub and the outer race of thebearing 46 is held in place by asleeve 48 located in the hub and itself locked in place by anend cap 49 secured to the end of the hub by setscrews 50. Theend cap 49 has a central bore 51 through which the shaft 44 extends with clearance. - The end of the shaft 44 projecting from the
end cap 49 carries atoothed pulley 52 secured in place by a screw 53. Setscrews 50 also serve to secure anelongate plate 54 to the end cap, the plate extending to the rear of the housing. At the rear of the housing astepper motor 55 is mounted on theplate 54 and has atoothed output pulley 56 with atooth belt drive 57 to thetooth pulley 52 to rotate the shaft 44 as described later. - The enlarged portion 47 of the shaft 44 carries three annular
eccentric cams hub 37 encircling theeccentric cams 58 to 60 has threeradial bushes 64 disposed at spaced locations around the hub and in line with the three respective cams and three push rods64a are mounted in the respective bushes to bear against the threerespective cam surfaces 58 to 60. Referring to Figures 4 and 5 of the drawings, theshaft 65 extends between and is mounted inbearings 66 secured in theside walls shaft 65 supports a rocker arm 67 one end of which carries apressure pad 68 which bears on the pushrod 64a acting oneccentric cam 58. The other end of the lever arm projects from the forward end of the housing and carries theguide element 15 secured to the arm by a set screw 69. The central part of the lever arm 67 around theshaft 65 is cut away as indicated at 70 in Figure 6 to provide a recess in which afurther rocker arm 71 is pivotally mounted on theshaft 65 on a needle roller bearing 72. Therocker arm 71 extends upwardly from the arm 67 towards the front end of the housing and theguide element 14 is secured to one side of the arm by a set screw 73 to project from the forward side of the housing. The other side of the arm has apressure pad 74 let into the arm against which the push rod 64a acting on theeccentric cam 59 bears. In the upper part of the housing afurther lever arm 75 is pivotally mounted by means ofneedle roller bearings 76 on aspindle 77 supported at its ends in a doublewalled arm 78 one end of thearm 75 carries the guide element 13 secured thereto by set screw 79 and the other end of the arm has apressure pad 80 let into the end of the arm which bears against a final pushrod 64a acting on theeccentric cam 60. - Each of the
guide elements eccentric cams 58 to 60, the guide elements are moved into engagement with the workpiece to support the workpiece for rotation about the axis 11 as will be described below. The radial position of thehub 37 in which the shaft 44 is supported is adjusted by slackening theclamping collars 39 securing the hub to theannular plates guide elements - The
double arm 78 supporting thelever 75 .is supported in the housing for movement between the operative position indicated in Figure 4 in a retracted position in which thelever arm 75 is retracted into the housing (as shown in Figure 1) to permit the workpieoe to be located in or removed from the guide by a mechanism which will now be described. Thedouble arm 78 is formed with a short L-section slot 85 in both parts of the arm in which apin 86 is located. The ends of the pin locate inhorizontal slots 87 formed in theside walls pin 86 between the two parts of thearm 78 and the other end of the link is connected by a further pin 89 to an arcuate link 90 as shown in Figure 4 which extends downwardly through the housing behind thehub assembly 37. The lower end of the arm 90 is supported on ashaft 91 mounted in bearings 91ain theside walls pin 90a is mounted on the arcuate arm 90 approximately halfway down the arm and projects laterally of the arm through arcuate slot 92 in theside wall 17 of the housing. Apneumatic ram 93 is mounted on theside wall 17 of the housing towards the upper end thereof and acting in a downwardly inclined direction and the piston rod 94 of the ram is connected to thepin 90a on the arm 90. When theram 93 is extended, the arcuate arm 90 is pressed towards the rear of the housing and, in so doing, retracts thelever arm 75 into the housing to allow a workpiece to be moved into or out of the postion by engagement by the guide element. When theram 93 is retracted, the ana90 is drawn forwardly to extend thelever arm 75 into the operative position around the axis 11 to support a workpiece coaxial with the axis. When theram 93 is initially extended to retract thearm 75 thepin 86 travels along the short horizontal part of the dog-leg slot 85 in thearm 78 without causing any movement of thearm 75. When the pin comes to the downwardly inclined section of the dog-leg slot thearm 78 starts to move with the pin and the arm is raised and retracted into the housing as the pin runs down the slot until it reaches the bottom of the slot when the ram is fully extended and therocker arm 75 is raised and almost fully retracted into the housing as shown in Figure 1. - Since the
rocker arm 75 cannot retract until thepin 86 has reached the downwardlyinclined section 85 of the dog-leg slot, the lever arm cannot be forced backwardly into the housing from its extended position by force alone on the lever arm itself. Thus, whatever load is applied to the lever arm, the arm will remain in its extended position until retracted by thepneumatic ram 93. - The workpiece guide is set up with a master component in the machine tool the axis of which coincides with the required degree of accuracy with the machine axis 11. The workpiece steady tips are then closed on to the master component with the fixing screws securing the
hub 37 to theannular plates - As indicated earlier, the shaft 44 is driven by a stepper motor to contract and expand the workpiece guides 13, 14 and 15 around the workpiece to be supported in the guide. This enables the guide to be operated through an automatic cycle of the following steps initiated by operation of a cycle start button.
-
- 1. A solenoid valve operates to extend the
ram 93 to advancearm 75 to the extended position. - 1.1 By a switch or timer (allowing
arm 75 to reach its extended position, the stepper motor is energised to advance 400 steps (equivalent to two full revolutions). - 1.2 The steady tips 82 should contact the component and align it with the axis 11 and stall the stepper motor before 400 steps have been completed.
- 1.3 From its stall condition', the motor is reversed 10 steps to retract the steady tips slightly from the workpiece and allow a running clearance for the workpiece.
- N.B. If the motor completes 400 steps then there is a "steady fault" which should be signalled and the machine cycle should be stopped at that point.
- 1.4 At completion of reversal, the motor is held stationaryat maximum torque and should signal the start of rotation of the workhead of the workpiece and the start of the machining operation on the workpiece, e.g. a grinding cycle.
- 1.5 At the completion of the machining operation, the stepper motor is re-started in the reverse direction and run for -60 steps to retract the steady tips from the workpiece and the solenoid valve for the
ram 93 is operated to retract the ram and thereby retract theupper rocker arm 75.
