Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a machine tool according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method according to claim 9.
  • CNC machines with high pressure water jet machining especially water jet cutting systems with one or more nozzles, are well known.
  • a brochure (BYJET, undated) from Bystronic Laser AG, CH-3362 Niederönz shows a universal cutting system suitable for pure water jet cutting and abrasive jet cutting.
  • a CNC-controlled so-called cutting carriage which can be moved over a water basin, carries one or more cutting heads, which are fed by high-pressure pumps with a rated power of up to 4,000 bar.
  • the cutting medium pure water or abrasive water jet
  • expansion tanks are provided which allow a level control of the water bed and in particular when loading and unloading of the cutting grid or grating come into operation.
  • Water jet machining is increasingly used in mass production, this has advantages over the laser processing, but in contrast to this the processing point no structural changes.
  • Various materials, such as natural and natural materials, food, etc. also bear no or only a small thermal load, so that some benefits, such as performance and precision in laser processing, often not come into play.
  • the machine tool should not occupy any additional space despite easier loading and a simplified unloading, i. the space intended for the preparation of loading and unloading should be usable and easily accessible.
  • the workpieces to be processed should be positionable with existing and / or commercially available feed stations and the machined parts in the simplest way transportable and / or directly available for use.
  • the liftable or hinged side wall mentioned in claim 1 is advantageously an end wall with a closable rectangular opening (bulkhead). This opening is dimensioned such that a frame with workpiece support and workpieces thereon easily manually or by a known linear drive in the water basin and is pushed out.
  • the preparatory work on the workpieces are outsourced from the actual machine and can be conveniently, accessible from all sides, on a charging station, also called shuttle table done.
  • the operating method according to claim 9 is characterized by its simple and easy to control process. It is based on a known water jet processing machine, the cutting heads are horizontally controllable in the X, Y direction and comply with the workpiece in the Z direction either a constant distance or are also CNC-controlled.
  • expansion tank allows a space-saving arrangement for adjusting the water level in the pool.
  • the "expelling" of the water from an intermediate container into the water basin described in claim 10 can be operated very quickly and economically; Commercially available level switches actuate a compressor, which serves as a compressed air source. Once the compressor is switched off, the water flows back into the intermediate container; it turns there again the level N3.
  • the cleaning method according to claim 11 is very economical and environmentally friendly.
  • the rinsed and / or blown off water flows back into the water basin; as well as the possibly used solid particles, so that both components are recirculated.
  • Stacked frames possibly reaching down to the basement, can guarantee automated operation. The only important thing is that the height for retracting and extending the frame is reproducibly approached. See claim 12.
  • the loading and unloading of the workpieces per se can be done by conventional means.
  • the individual frames are stacked, the machine tool stacked outstanding, so that in each case the lowest frame is retracted into the pool.
  • the finished parts will be on the same, beyond the charging station Horizontal plane away before the next frame is lowered to the same height and retracted into the pool.
  • FIG. 1 designates a cutting system for selectively pure-water jet cutting or water abrasive cutting.
  • a charging station 2 also called a change table
  • a cooling unit 3 with not shown insulated piping is used for cooling the sensitive components of the system 1, in particular the high-pressure pumping system 4 next to it.
  • a working pressure of up to 4,000 bar prevails. These lines 6 are to a so-called cutting bridge 5, see. Fig. 2, guided and there provide cutting heads S1 and S2 with pressurized water.
  • the cutting bridge 5 is constructed in a known manner over a water basin 9, over the length of which is linearly movable. Behind the pool 9 are electrical cabinets 11, which also contain the computer for the CNC control in addition to the power supply for all control and auxiliary equipment.
  • the basin 9 is preceded by an operating station 16 which is mounted on a height-adjustable stand 15 and also has a screen.
  • Fig. 1 can be seen also a base frame 2 'of the charging station 2 and lifting devices 14b and a discharge neck 7 for solid particles used.
  • the plan view Fig. 2 additionally shows a mobile sand bunker 12, which contains the clean solid particles necessary for AbrasivMB.
  • a fixed high pressure line is designated 18 and electrical channels are designated 19 and 20.
  • a collecting container 8 for the sludge containing the solid particles Aligned on the front side and to the central axis of the water basin 9 is a collecting container 8 for the sludge containing the solid particles, which is fed via a known scraping conveyor and via the discharge neck 7.
  • the water basin itself is bordered by a base frame 9 '.
  • Above the water surface - designated H 2 O - is a support 10 for workpieces W1.
  • a hinged side wall 22 is indicated with associated lifting pivot cylinders.
  • the charging station 2 has, adjacent to the cutting unit 1 a chain drive 21 (geared motor with sprockets).
  • the same to the cutting unit 1 supports 10 extend - as in this - over the entire surface and are in the form of itself also known Rost slats. Placed on these grate slats are intended for processing provided workpieces W0 and depending on the subject also clamped.
  • the actual changing table of the charging station 2 opposite each three lifting devices 14a and 14b are mounted, which in turn are coupled by three mechanical connection 14 'with each other.- This is symbolized by a dashed line.
  • the cylinders of the lifting devices 14a and 14b are hydraulically coupled, so that the frames of the supports 10 are height-adjustable in absolute parallel.
  • FIG. 3 shows the interior of the water basin 9 of the machine 1 with its associated equalizing tanks 34, which are separated from them by walls 33; Plotted are three water levels N1 to N3.
  • the cutting bridge 5 Mounted on the base frame 9 'is the cutting bridge 5 with its known components such as compensating cylinder 26, individually controllable cutting heads S1 and S2 a conduit 28 for power and signal supply of the cutting bridge 5 and a likewise conventional bellows 27.
  • the compensating cylinder 26 serve, as well is known, the weight balance in the Z direction.
  • Slide rails 100 are indicated in the water basin 9, above its highest level N1, on the edge side on mutually opposite fixed side walls 35. Also marked are cutting nozzles 29 with notorious knownnaturenabtastitch 30, shown here in working position.
  • a compressed air source a commercial so-called side channel blower 101 is set up (Ernstrelymann & Co. AG, CH-8010 Zurich: Two-flow side channel blower type DORA SAP 300).
  • Arranged by arrows are outgoing feed lines N and R.
  • the line N is led to a connection 31 of an air feed 31 '.
  • the compressed air emerging from the feed 31 ' increases the air cushion present in the expansion tank, as a result of which the water present here flows via riser pipes 32 in the direction of the arrow over the cover 32' into the water basin 9. This makes it easy to set the water level to the preselected level N1 with the interposition of throttle valves.
  • the cover 32 ' serves as mud protection and has only lower slots for the flow of water; see arrows.
  • the pressure source 101 is turned off, whereby the water flows back and finally adjust the levels N2 and N3. During this time, the pressure source can be switched and guided via the second line R to a later to be discussed cleaning station.
  • FIG. 4 shows in the center the charging station 2, which feeds the workpieces W0 to be processed via vacuum bells 62 through a pivoting lifter 60 with gripper 61. Obvious here are the chain drive 21, the base frame 2 ', guide rollers 43 and side cheeks 48. Also visible are bottom plates 17, which allow an adjustment of the working height of the machine tool 1.
