Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of deburring a series of parts along a joint line of each part by means of a rotary grinding wheel.
  • Deburring is an important operation in the production of molded parts, in particular cast iron. It can indeed condition the good behavior of these parts in service. Thus, for example, in the case of the male end of a tubular part intended to penetrate into the socket of another tubular part with the interposition of a seal, the presence, along the resulting joint line molding, an extra thickness or a hollow can lead to a leak.
  • the deburring of parts in series by means of a rotary grinding wheel causes the wear of the grinding wheel.
  • a common practice is to monitor the quality of deburring and, when it decreases, to straighten the active profile of the grinding wheel. This is costly and limits the grain size of the grinding wheel because it is difficult to straighten a coarse grinding wheel.
  • the increase in the size of the grains makes it possible, with a moderate expenditure of energy, to increase the productivity of the deburring.
  • the invention aims to provide a deburring process avoiding any operation of straightening the grinding wheel and lends itself to automation on large series of parts even of various shapes.
  • the subject of the invention is a method of deburring a series of parts along a joint line of each part by means of a rotary grinding wheel, characterized in that, between two operations of deburring, we measure the position of at least one point active wheel, and after having thus measured the position of a predetermined number of points, the trajectory of the wheel corresponding to the wheel profile defined by these points is calculated.
  • the invention also relates to a deburring machine intended for the implementation of such a method.
  • This machine of the type comprising a rotary grinding wheel, means for moving this grinding wheel parallel to itself, and means for positioning a part having a joint line to be trimmed, is characterized in that it comprises means for measuring the position of any active point on the grinding wheel, and means for calculating the trajectory of the grinding wheel as a function of these measurements and of the profile of said joint line.
  • the deburring machine shown in Figures 1 and 2 is intended to perform serial deburring of tubular fittings in cast iron with three inlets which, in this example, are of two types: fittings 1 in Y and fittings 2 in U. These fittings are molded in two-part molds and therefore each have in their plane of symmetry, which is the joint plane of the mold, barbs which have to be removed with precision.
  • the machine comprises a carousel 3 for successive transfer of the parts 1, 2 to a deburring station 4, a grinding device 5 and a measuring device 6.
  • the carousel 3 comprises a rotary plate 7 on which are mounted several pivoting supports 8.
  • the deburring station 4 comprises a motorized spindle 9 adapted to engage the shaft of the support 8 present at this station and to give this support any desired angular orientation. Above station 4 is also provided a workpiece clamping cylinder 10 to vertical axis.
  • the grinding device 5 comprises a grinding wheel 11 in the form of a thin disc, for example 400 to 650 mm in diameter and 10 to 15 mm thick, the shaft of which, driven by a motor 12, is carried by a device 13 for moving X, Y.
  • the shaft of the grinding wheel is parallel to the direction X of movement and perpendicular to the direction Y.
  • the measuring device 6 comprises a light source 14, of the laser or other type, with a vertical axis ZZ, fixed in the vicinity of the deburring station 4 and at a higher level, and on the other hand a photoelectric cell 15 likewise axis, fixed at a level lower than that of station 4.
  • the grinding wheel 11 is new. It therefore has a known profile.
  • a part 1 or 2 being brought to station 4 by the carousel, placed in a predetermined position by the spindle 9 and blocked by the jack 10, the computer 16 calculates the trajectory of the grinding wheel until contact with the part and then along of it to perform the deburring of its joint line.
  • the axis of the grinding wheel is brought to a distance yO from the optical axis ZZ greater than the largest radius of the grinding wheel, and the grinding wheel is moved along its axis until the predetermined point M considered is at the abscissa x0 of the ZZ axis.
  • the x, y coordinates are all taken with respect to a fixed reference point O secured to the machine frame.
  • the axis of the grinding wheel is moved parallel to itself, in the direction Y, until the light flux received by the cell 15 is reduced by half.
  • the dimension y1 of the axis of the grinding wheel which is also the radius of the point M relative to the axis of the grinding wheel, is then stored by the computer 16.
  • the computer has in memory the coordinates of the n measured points, which allows it to determine those of the active or contact point for the next deburring operation. To do this, it proceeds as follows ( Figures 5 and 6).
  • the deburring of the segment AB is obtained by displacement of the point D from D1 to D2.
  • This variant makes it possible to carry out intermediate corrections between the successive calculations of the trajectory and is advantageous when it can be considered that the grinding wheel undergoes a uniform overall wear along the YY axis, relatively rapid, on which a variation in shape is superimposed. relatively slow.
  • the operations of deburring or measuring a point are carried out in masked time.
  • the method according to the invention is used for deburring burrs such as a three-dimensional joint line in space, of a part symmetrical with respect to the joint plane.
