Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kaltwalzmaschine gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 und ein Verfahren zum Kaltwalzen eines Werkstücks.The invention relates to a cold rolling machine according to the preamble of patent claim 1 and a method for cold rolling a workpiece.
Bei derartigen Kaltwalzmaschinen wird das zu bearbeitende Werkstück drehbar zwischen zwei Spitzen oder sonstigen Schnellspannvorrichtungen gespannt, wobei dieser Werkstückspannvorrichtung in der Regel eine Vorschubachse zugeordnet ist. Die gewünschte Profilierung des Werkstücks erfolgt über zwei sich synchron gegenläufig bewegende Walzstangen, die gleichzeitig auf das Werkstück auftreffen und dieses zunächst durch Reibschluß und später durch Formschluß in Drehung versetzen. Dabei wird der Werkstoff in die Freiräume des Werkzeugs, d. h. der Walzstangen verdrängt. Üblicherweise nimmt die Höhe des eingeschliffenen Profils der Walzstange im Umformbereich zu, so daß jeder Zahn der Walzstange etwas tiefer in das Werkstück eingedrückt wird, als der vorangegangene. Nach Erreichen der vollen Profiltiefe kann sich eine Kallibrierzone und eine Entspannungszone anschließen, entlang denen die Geometrie und die Oberflächenqualität des Werkstücks optimiert wird.In such cold rolling machines, the workpiece to be machined is rotatably tensioned between two tips or other quick-action clamping devices, this workpiece clamping device generally being associated with a feed axis. The desired profiling of the workpiece via two synchronously counter-rotating rolling rods, which impinge simultaneously on the workpiece and this initially by frictional engagement and later by positive engagement in rotation. The material is in the free spaces of the tool, d. H. displaced by the rolling rods. Usually, the height of the ground profile of the rolling rod increases in the forming area, so that each tooth of the rolling rod is pressed slightly deeper into the workpiece, as the preceding. Once the full tread depth has been reached, a calibration zone and a relaxation zone can follow, along which the geometry and surface quality of the workpiece is optimized.
Dieses spanlose Kaltformen von Profilen, wie beispielsweise Steckverzahnungen (gerade oder schräg), Spiralverzahnungen, Ölnuten, Gewinde oder Rändel ist ca. dreißig mal schneller als die spanabhebende Bearbeitung der Profile. Kaltgewalzte Werkstücke bieten zudem eine höhere Festigkeit, bessere Oberflächengüte und große Genauigkeit.This non-cutting cold forming of profiles, such as splines (straight or oblique), spiral teeth, oil grooves, threads or knurls is about thirty times faster than the machining of the profiles. Cold rolled workpieces also offer higher strength, better surface finish and high accuracy.
In dem Prospekt "Spezialmaschinenprogramm XK" der Anmelderin wird eine Kaltwalzmaschine vorgestellt, bei der die beiden gegenläufig bewegbaren Walzstangen in Horizontalrichtung angeordnet sind, während die Werkstückachse ebenfalls in Horizontalrichtung quer zur Bewegungsrichtung der Walzstangen angeordnet ist. Nachteilig bei dieser Lösung ist, daß aufgrund der Horizontalanordnung der Walzstangen eine erhebliche Baubreite der Kaltwalzmaschine erforderlich ist. Diese bekannte Maschine hat des weiteren einen hydraulischen Antrieb, dessen Hydraulik-Aggregat sehr viel Platz benötigt.In the brochure "Special Machine Program XK" of the applicant, a cold rolling machine is presented, in which the two counter-rotating rolling rods are arranged in the horizontal direction, while the workpiece axis is also arranged in the horizontal direction transverse to the direction of movement of the rolling rods. A disadvantage of this solution is that due to the horizontal arrangement of the rolling rods a considerable width of the cold rolling machine is required. This known machine also has a hydraulic drive, the hydraulic unit requires a lot of space.
Dieser Nachteil wird durch eine Kaltwalzmaschine gemäß der
Aus der
Es sind Querwalzleisten vorgesehen, welche durch Linearantriebe in einer Richtung quer zur Drehachse bewegbar angeordnet sind. Die Querwalzleisten sind durch einen Obersupport und Untersupport aufgenommen, wobei der Obersupport in einer vertikalen Richtung oberhalb und ein Untersupport in einer vertikalen Richtung unterhalb des Werkzeugfutters bewegbar angeordnet sind.There are transverse roll strips provided, which are arranged by linear drives in a direction transverse to the axis of rotation movable. The transverse rolling strips are received by an upper support and sub-support, wherein the upper support in a vertical direction above and a sub-support in a vertical direction below the tool chuck are arranged movable.
Bei Maßkorrekturen am Werkstück kann es erforderlich sein, zum Ausbilden der vorbestimmten Profiltiefe die Walzstange in Radialrichtung (bezogen auf das Werkstück) zuzustellen. Diese Zustellung erfolgt manuell über Justierschrauben, über die die Radialposition der Walzstangen gegenüber dem Werkstück einstellbar ist. Für diese Nachjustierung muß der Walzvorgang unterbrochen werden, so daß die Produktivität der Anlage verringert ist.For dimensional corrections on the workpiece, it may be necessary to deliver the rolling rod in the radial direction (relative to the workpiece) in order to form the predetermined tread depth. This delivery is done manually via adjusting screws, over which the radial position of the rolling rods is adjustable relative to the workpiece. For this readjustment of the rolling process must be interrupted, so that the productivity of the system is reduced.
. Demgegenüber liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Kaltwalzmaschine und ein Verfahren zum Kaltwalzen zu schaffen, durch die die Stillstandszeiten während der Produktion verringert sind., In contrast, the present invention seeks to provide a cold rolling machine and a method for cold rolling, through which the downtime during production are reduced.
Diese Aufgabe wird hinsichtlich der Kaltwalzmaschine durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 und hinsichtlich des Verfahrens durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 11 gelöst.This object is achieved with regard to the cold rolling machine by the features of patent claim 1 and with respect to the method by the features of claim 11.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Kaltwalzmaschine mit einer Zustelleinrichtung mit integriertem Zustellantrieb versehen, über die die Walzstangen während des Walzvorganges in Eingriffsrichtung verstellbar sind. D. h., jeder Walzstange ist eine Zustellachse zugeordnet, die eine Verstellung der Walzstangen in etwa Radialrichtung mit Bezug zu dem zu bearbeitenden Werkstück ermöglicht. Durch diese Zustelleinrichtung kann somit die Profiltiefe während des Walzvorganges verändert werden, so daß beispielsweise die gewünschte Endprofiltiefe nicht - wie beim Stand der Technik erforderlich - während einer Vorschubbewegung der Walzstangen, sondern während mehreren Walzstangenhüben ausbildbar ist, bei denen die Walzstangen in Radialrichtung nachgestellt werden. Dies ermöglicht es, die Länge der Walzstange zu minimieren, so daß auch die Abmessungen der Kaltwalzmaschine vergleichsweise gering bleiben.According to the invention, the cold rolling machine is provided with a feed device with an integrated feed drive, via which the rolling rods can be adjusted during the rolling process in the direction of engagement. That is, each rolling rod is associated with a feed axis, which allows an adjustment of the rolling rods in approximately radial direction with respect to the workpiece to be machined. By this feed device thus the tread depth can be changed during the rolling process, so that, for example, the desired Endprofiliefe not - as required in the prior art - during a feed movement of the rolling rods, but during several Walzstangenhüben can be formed, in which the rolling rods are readjusted in the radial direction. This makes it possible to minimize the length of the rolling rod, so that the dimensions of the cold rolling machine remain relatively low.
Bei diesem Reversierbetrieb wird daher das Profil mit mehreren Walzstangenhüben ausgebildet, während bei den bekannten Maschinen das Profil mit nur einem Hub gewalzt werden mußte - es liegt auf der Hand, daß das herkömmliche Verfahren eine wesentlich größere Belastung für die Maschine und die Walzstangen darstellt.In this reversing operation, therefore, the profile is formed with several Walzstangenhüben, while in the known machines, the profile had to be rolled with only one stroke - it is obvious that the conventional method represents a much greater burden on the machine and the rolling rods.
Da die Profiltiefe erfindungsgemäß über die Zustelleinrichtung bestimmt wird, können die Walzstangen im Wesentlichen mit gleichbleibender Profiltiefe ausgeführt werden, so daß deren Herstellung wesentlich einfacher als bei den herkömmlichen Walzstangen mit in Walzrichtung größer werdender Profiltiefe ist. Die eingangs beschriebenen Kalibrier- und Entspannungszonen können über kleine Rampen an den Endabschnitten der Walzstangen ausgebildet werden, wobei der sich zwischen den Rampen erstreckende Bereich der Walzstangen im Wesentlichen mit gleichbleibender Profiltiefe ausgebildet ist.Since the tread depth is determined according to the invention via the feed device, the rolling rods can be performed substantially with constant tread depth, so that their production is much easier than in the conventional rolling rods with increasing profile depth in the rolling direction. The calibration and relaxation zones described above can be formed by means of small ramps at the end sections of the rolling rods, wherein the region of the rolling rods extending between the ramps is formed essentially with the same profile depth.
Jeder der beiden Walzstangen ist jeweils ein Führungsschlitten zugeordnet, der entlang von Schrägführungen verschiebbar ist. Diese beiden Schrägführungen sind v-förmig zueinander angestellt, so daß durch Verschieben des Führungsschlittens entlang der zugeordneten Schrägführung der Radialabstand zwischen Walzstange und Werkstück veränderbar ist. D. h., die Zustellbewegung erfolgt durch Verschieben der Walzstange entlang der keilförmig ausgebildeten Schrägführungen, so daß durch Verstellen der Walzstangen ohne Werkzeugwechsel eine Variation der Zähnezahl, das Walzen von geraden und ungerade Zähnezahlen, ein positioniertes Walzen und die Qualitätsoptimierung des Profils durch Teilungskorrektur möglich ist.Each of the two rolling rods is in each case assigned a guide carriage, which is displaceable along inclined guides. These two inclined guides are employed in a V-shaped manner with respect to one another, so that the radial distance between the rolling rod and the workpiece can be changed by displacing the guide carriage along the associated inclined guide. D. h., The feed movement is carried out by moving the rolling rod along the wedge-shaped inclined guides, so that by adjusting the rolling rods without tool change a variation of the number of teeth, the rolling of even and odd numbers of teeth, a positioned rolling and the quality optimization of the profile by division correction is possible.
Die Zustellbewegung läßt sich besonders präzise ausführen, wenn jedem Führungsschlitten ein eigener Zustellantrieb, beispielsweise ein Planetenspindelantrieb zugeordnet ist. Alternativ können auch andere geeignete Antriebe, wie beispielsweise Zahnstangenantriebe, Kugelgewindeantriebe oder hydraulische Antriebe verwendet werden.The feed movement can be carried out particularly precisely if each guide carriage is assigned its own feed drive, for example a planetary spindle drive. Alternatively, other suitable drives, such as rack drives, ball screw drives or hydraulic drives can be used.
Der Aufbau der erfindungsgemäßen Kaltwalzmaschine läßt sich weiter vereinfachen, wenn die freien Endabschnitte der entlang der Schrägführungen verschiebbaren Führungsschlitten über eine Konsole verbunden sind, an der die Antriebe für die Walzstangenvorrichtung gelagert sind.The structure of the cold rolling machine according to the invention can be further simplified if the free end portions of the guide slide displaceable along the inclined guides are connected via a console on which the drives for the rolling rod device are mounted.
Das erfindungsgemäße Konzept läßt sich besonders vorteilhaft bei Kaltwalzmaschinen einsetzen, deren Walzstangen in Vertikalrichtung angetrieben sind, so daß die Aufstellfläche der erfindungsgemäßen Maschine minimal ist. Die Bauhöhe lässt sich durch Antreiben der Walzstangen in Horizontalrichtung minimieren.The inventive concept can be used particularly advantageously in cold rolling machines, the rolling rods are driven in the vertical direction, so that the footprint of the machine according to the invention is minimal. The height can be minimized by driving the rolling rods in the horizontal direction.
Erfindungsgemäß kann das Werkstück über die Walzstangen übertragenen Kräfte oder aber über einen eigenen Drehantrieb angetrieben werden, der mit dem Antrieb der Walzstangen synchronisiert ist.According to the invention, the workpiece can be driven via the rolling rods transmitted forces or via its own rotary drive, which is synchronized with the drive of the rolling rods.
Bei einer vorteilhaften Variante der Erfindung wird der Umformbereich des Werkstückes mit Ultraschall beaufschlagt. Durch diesen Ultraschall wird die Fliesgrenze während des Umformprozesses abgesenkt, so daß die Umformkräfte gegenüber herkömmlichen Lösungen verringert sind.In an advantageous variant of the invention, the forming area of the workpiece is subjected to ultrasound. By this ultrasound, the flow limit is lowered during the forming process, so that the forming forces are reduced compared to conventional solutions.
Die die Führungsschlitten abstützenden Schrägführungen werden vorteilhafterweise an zwei beabstandeten Stützschenkeln eines Maschinenbettes abgestützt, wobei diese beiden Stützschenkel zur Erhöhung der Steifigkeit über Querlaschen verbunden sind.The guide rails supporting the inclined guides are advantageously supported on two spaced support legs of a machine bed, these two support legs are connected to increase the rigidity over cross straps.
Sonstige vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der weiteren Unteransprüche.Other advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the other dependent claims.

Dabei ist jeweils eine Spindelmutter 46 drehbar im Stützkörper 22 bzw. 24 gelagert, während die Planetenspindel 48 in einer Konsole des Führungsschlittens 38 bzw. 40 gelagert und über einen Zahnriemen mit dem Servomotor 50 verbunden ist. Je nach Drehrichtung des Servomotors 50 wird die Planetenspindel 48 durch die feststehende Spindelmutter 46 in Drehung versetzt und diese als Axialverschiebung auf die Führungsschlitten 38,40 übertragen, so daß diese entlang der Schrägbahnführungen 34 bzw. 36 verschoben werden.The axial displacement of the two guide slides 38, 40 takes place in each case via an
Die von den Schrägbahnführungen 34, 36 entfernten Stirnflächen des Führungsschlittens 38, 40 verlaufen parallel zur Vorschubachse der beiden Walzstangen 2, 4, so daß die Führungsschlitten, 38, 40 in der Darstellung gemäß
Die Führungen 52, 54 sind ebenfalls wieder als eingegossene Flachbahnführungen ausgeführt und entsprechen hinsichtlich des Aufbaus im Wesentlichen den Schrägführungen 34, 36. D. h., die Schlitten 56, 58 tauchen mit ihrer Stirnfläche in eine u-förmige Ausnehmung des zugeordneten Führungsschlittens 38, 40 ein, wobei diese Ausnehmung als Gleitführung ausgebildet ist. Die Festlegung der Schlitten 56, 58 am zugeordneten Führuhgsschlitten 38, 40 erfolgt über eine Gegenführung 60.The

Diese Walzstange 2 wird in herkömmlicher Weise aus gehärtetem und geschliffenem Kaltarbeitsstahl hergestellt und trägt eine Profilierung 70, dessen Profiltiefe S entlang eines Bereiches T im Wesentlichen gleichbleibend ist. An den beiden Endabschnitten der Profilierung 70 sind Rampen 72 ausgebildet, deren Länge U wesentlich geringer als die Länge T mit gleichbleibender Profilierung 70 ist. Aufgrund der im Wesentlichen gleichbleibenden Profilierung läßt sich die in
Anschließend werden die beiden NC-Antriebe 64, 66 synchron und gegenläufig angesteuert, so daß die beiden Walzstangen 2, 4 gegenläufig auf das Werkstück auflaufen und dieses durch Reib- und Formschluß in Drehung versetzten, wobei durch den Eingriff zwischen Werkstück und den beiden Walzstangen 2, 4 der Umformvorgang erfolgt. Die Profiltiefe kann dabei durch eine synchrone Verschiebung der beiden Führungsschlitten 38, 40 entlang den Schrägflächen 34, 36 eingestellt werden, wobei die maximale Profiltiefe während eines Hubes der Walzstangen 2, 4 oder während mehrerer aufeinanderfolgender Hübe (auch im Reversierbetrieb) ausgebildet wird. Durch geeignete Neigung der Schrägführung 34, 36 und entsprechendem Hub der NC-Antriebe läßt sich beispielsweise eine Profiltiefe von bis zu etwa 5 mm herstellen. Der Walzprozeß wird ständig überwacht, so daß der Walzvorgang durch variable Geschwindigkeitsprofile sowohl für den Vorschub der Führungsschlitten 34, 36 als auch der Schlitten 56, 58 optimierbar ist.Subsequently, the two NC drives 64, 66 controlled synchronously and in opposite directions, so that the two rolling
Durch die über die Brückenkonstruktion 18 miteinander verbundenen Stützschenkel 10, 12 ist eine äußerst steife Maschinenkonstruktion gewährleistet, wobei der Mineralguß Unterbau 8 und die mineralgußgefüllten Stützkörper 20, 22. eine wesentlich bessere Dämpfung als herkömmliche Konstruktionen bewirken. Der Mineralgußunterbau ermöglicht es, alle Versorgungselemente zu integrieren, wobei nach dem Gießen des Unterbaus praktisch keine zusätzliche Bearbeitung erforderlich ist.By connected via the
Die vertikale Ausrichtung der Walzstangen 2, 4 vereinfacht die Kühlmittelabfuhr gegenüber der im Prospekt der Anmelderin offenbarten Lösung erheblich.The vertical orientation of the rolling
Anstelle der genannten Planetenspindelantriebe können selbstverständlich auch andere geeignete Antriebe, wie beispielsweise Kugelgewindetriebe, Zahnstangenantriebe oder hydraulische Antriebe verwendet werden. Der Unterbau kann in Abweichung vom vorbeschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel auch in herkömmlicher Weise durch eine Schweiß- oder Gußkonstruktion gebildet sein.Of course, other suitable drives, such as ball screws, rack drives or hydraulic drives can be used instead of said planetary spindle drives. The substructure may be formed in a conventional manner by a welded or cast construction in deviation from the above-described embodiment.
Die Verstellbarkeit der Führungsschlitten 38, 40 ermöglicht es des Weiteren, während des Walzvorganges eine Teilungskorrektur durchzuführen, so daß die Walzqualität gegenüber herkömmlichen Lösungen mit Walzstangen erheblich verbessert ist. Anstelle der beschriebenen Gleitführung könnten alternativ auch herkömmliche, nicht kunststoffbeschichtete Gleitführungen, Wälzführungen, beispielsweise Rollenschuhe oder Flachkäfigführungen verwendet werden, die jedoch sowohl hinsichtlich der Tragzahlen als auch der Kosten ungünstiger als die abgeformten Führungsbahnen sind.The adjustability of the
Bei dem vor beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel wird das Werkstück durch den Eingriff mit den Walzstangen 2, 4 angetrieben. Bei einer alternativen Variante kann dem Werkstück ein eigener Drehantrieb zugeordnet werden, der mit den NC-Antrieben 64, 66 der Walzstangen synchronisiert ist, so dass der Hub der Walzstangen 2, 4 mit der Drehung des zu walzenden Werkstückes synchronisiert ist.In the embodiment described above, the workpiece is driven by the engagement with the rolling
Die Umformkräfte lassen sich herabsetzen, wenn der gewalzte Bereich des Werkstückes mit Ultraschall beaufschlagt wird. Für diese Ultraschallbeaufschlagung kann ein geeigneter Ultraschallkopf in die Kaltwalzmaschine integriert werden. Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, die Drehbewegung des Werkstückes während des Walzvorganges mit Ultraschallschwingungen zu überlagen. Dies könnte beispielsweise dadurch erfolgen, dass der vorbeschriebene Drehantrieb für.das Werkstück eine Drehbewegung erzeugt, die mit hochfrequenten Ultraschallschwingungen geringer Amplitude überlagert ist. Durch die Schwingungsbeinflussung des Umformprozesses lassen sich die Umformkräfte während des Walzvorganges verringern, so dass eine Erhöhung der Prozessgeschwindigkeit ermöglicht ist. Aufgrund der Herabsetzung der Fliesgrenze können auch nach konventionellen Methoden schwer umformbare Materialien kaltgewalzt werden.The forming forces can be reduced when the rolled portion of the workpiece is subjected to ultrasound. For this Ultraschallbeaufschlagung a suitable ultrasonic head can be integrated into the cold rolling machine. Another possibility is to overlay the rotational movement of the workpiece during the rolling process with ultrasonic vibrations. This could be done, for example, by the fact that the above-described rotary drive generates a rotary movement for the workpiece, which is superimposed with high-frequency ultrasound oscillations of low amplitude. By the Schwingungsbeinflussung the forming process, the forming forces can be reduced during the rolling process, so that an increase in the process speed is possible. Due to the reduction in the flow limit, materials that are difficult to form can also be cold-rolled using conventional methods.
Offenbart ist eine Kaltwalzmaschine, bei der die Walzstangen vorzugsweise in Vertikalrichtung angeordnet sind und über eine Zustelleinrichtung während des Walzvorganges in Radialrichtung mit Bezug zum zu bearbeitenden Werkstück verstellbar sind.Disclosed is a cold rolling machine, in which the rolling rods are preferably arranged in the vertical direction and are adjustable via a feed device during the rolling process in the radial direction with respect to the workpiece to be machined.
