Description

La présente invention concerne un outil pour l'usinage de pièces en matériaux composites selon le préambule de la revendication 1,-un tel outil étant connu du document US-A-5 000 630 , par example. De plus, l'invention concerne une machine d'usinage comprenant un tel outil.The present invention relates to a tool for machining parts made of composite materials according to the preamble of claim 1, such tool being known from the document US-A-5,000,630 , for example. In addition, the invention relates to a machine tool comprising such a tool.

Les matériaux composites ont acquis une large importance dans de nombreux domaines industriels. Leur domaine d'application qui concernait essentiellement l'aéronautique et le spatial initialement, est en pleine expansion et s'étend désormais à des secteurs aussi variés que l'industrie automobile, l'industrie ferroviaire ou encore les loisirs (planche à voile, ...).Composite materials have gained wide importance in many industrial fields. Their field of application which concerned mainly the aeronautics and the space initially, is in full expansion and extends now to sectors as varied as the automobile industry, the railway industry or the leisures (windsurfing,. ..).

Dans l'industrie des pièces pour l'aéronautique, l'usinage est un procédé critique. Il aide non seulement à obtenir la précision dimensionnelle sur les pièces produites, mais il permet également d'obtenir des pièces complexes à partir de matériaux qui seraient autrement difficiles à transformer.In the parts industry for aeronautics, machining is a critical process. It not only helps to achieve dimensional accuracy on the parts produced, but also enables complex parts to be obtained from materials that would otherwise be difficult to process.

Pour des matériaux composites, l'opération de détourage d'une pièce est réalisée directement à cote finie au moyen d'un outil d'usinage effectuant une ou plusieurs passes dans l'épaisseur de cette pièce, le nombre de passe nécessaire étant fonction de cette épaisseur.For composite materials, the machining operation of a part is carried out directly on the finished dimension by means of a machining tool making one or more passes in the thickness of this part, the number of passes required being a function of this thickness.

Cependant, on a observé que le détourage de la pièce en matériaux composites peut s'accompagner de l'apparition de défauts dans la pièce, le produit final ainsi obtenu n'atteignant pas les propriétés mécaniques attendues. Ces défauts qui résultent du soulèvement de plis de fibres, sont encore appelés « écaillages ». En l'absence de retrait de la pièce lors du contrôle de qualité, ces défauts peuvent à l'usage conduire à une fracture de la pièce.However, it has been observed that the trimming of the composite material part can be accompanied by the appearance of defects in the part, the final product thus obtained not reaching the expected mechanical properties. These defects resulting from the lifting of fiber folds, are also called "chipping". In the absence of removal of the room during Quality control, these defects can in use lead to a fracture of the part.

On a également constaté une usure plus ou moins rapide des outils d'usinage liée à une absence de contrôle de la profondeur de passe dans l'épaisseur de la pièce, d'une passe à l'autre. Or cette usure prématurée de l'outil entraîne des arrêts plus fréquents de la machine d'usinage et l'intervention d'un opérateur qualifié. Les coûts engendrés par le changement de l'outil ainsi que la perte de productivité liée au temps d'intervention de l'opérateur sont incompatibles avec les impératifs économiques de l'industrie des pièces pour l'aéronautique.There has also been a more or less rapid wear of the machining tools related to a lack of control of the depth of pass in the thickness of the part, from one pass to another. However, this premature wear of the tool causes more frequent stops of the machining machine and the intervention of a qualified operator. The cost of changing the tool as well as the loss of productivity due to operator intervention time are incompatible with the economic imperatives of the aerospace parts industry.

Par ailleurs, les outils d'usinage de l'état de l'art mis en oeuvre dans l'usinage des pièces en matériaux composites ne permettent pas de réaliser des trous ou des cavités dans ces pièces.In addition, the machining tools of the state of the art used in the machining of composite material parts do not make holes or cavities in these parts.

La réalisation de pièces par découpe dans une panoplie de grande dimension, avec de tels outils d'usinage, impose en conséquence de partir d'un bord de cette panoplie pour aller chercher la première pièce à découper. La machine ne peut aller se placer directement sur le point de départ de la découpe de la pièce, cette dernière étant repérée par ses coordonnées dans un repère qui est celui de la panoplie.The production of pieces by cutting in a panoply large, with such machining tools, therefore requires starting from an edge of this panoplie to fetch the first piece to be cut. The machine can not be placed directly on the starting point of the cut of the piece, the latter being identified by its coordinates in a reference which is that of the panoplie.

La découpe de matière supplémentaire ainsi engendrée augmente considérablement le temps de découpe des pièces dans la panoplie et entraîne une usure prématurée de l'outil d'usinage.The cutting of additional material thus generated considerably increases the cutting time of the pieces in the panoplie and causes premature wear of the machining tool.

Enfin, l'usinage mécanique des matériaux composites exige aussi des outils coupants de plus en plus perfectionnés pour augmenter fortement le débit de copeaux et réduire ainsi le temps nécessaire aux opérations de détourage d'une pièce en matériaux composites.Finally, the mechanical machining of composite materials also requires cutting tools increasingly sophisticated to greatly increase the chip rate and thus reduce the time required for clipping operations of a composite material part.

L'objectif de la présente invention est donc de proposer un outil pour l'usinage de pièce en matériaux composites, simple dans sa conception et dans son mode opératoire, économique, et permettant de contrôler la profondeur de passe de cet outil afin que celle-ci soit constante d'une passe à l'autre, tout en réalisant simultanément l'ébauche et la finition de la pièce en détourage.The objective of the present invention is therefore to propose a tool for machining workpieces made of composite materials, simple in its design and in its economical operating mode, and making it possible to control the depth of pass of this tool so that it it is constant from one pass to another, while simultaneously performing the roughing and finishing of the clipping piece.

Un autre objet de la présente invention est de disposer d'un outil d'usinage capable de réaliser simultanément des opérations d'ébauche et de finition en plongée directe dans la matière de la pièce.Another object of the present invention is to provide a machining tool capable of simultaneously performing roughing and finishing operations by direct diving in the material of the piece.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un outil pour l'usinage de pièces en matériaux composites, cet outil ayant un corps principal sensiblement cylindrique.For this purpose, the invention relates to a tool for machining parts made of composite materials, this tool having a substantially cylindrical main body.

Selon l'invention, le corps principal comporte une partie de polissage de diamètre D1 ayant un axe principal et une partie abrasive de diamètre D2 avec D2 < D1, la partie abrasive étant centrée sur cet axe principal. De plus, la partie abrasive comporte à son extrémité au moins un élément coupant destiné à permettre des plongées de l'outil dans lesdites pièces, cet élément coupant de la partie abrasive étant un creux en forme de tronc de cône inversé.According to the invention, the main body comprises a polishing portion of diameter D 1 having a main axis and an abrasive portion of diameter D 2 with D 2 <D 1 , the abrasive portion being centered on this main axis. In addition, the abrasive part has at its end at least one cutting element intended to allow dives of the tool in said parts, this cutting element of the abrasive part being an inverted truncated cone-shaped depression.

Dans différents modes de réalisation particuliers de cet outil d'usinage, chacun ayant ses avantages particuliers et susceptibles de nombreuses combinaisons techniques possibles:

  • l'outil présente au moins un conduit central débouchant sur la surface externe de la partie abrasive pour assurer la lubrification de celle-ci,
    Avantageusement, la lubrification de l'outil est assurée par un conduit placé au centre du corps principal de l'outil et débouchant à l'extrémité de la partie abrasive au niveau de l'élément coupant.
  • le conduit central est de plus relié en communication de fluide avec au moins un canal annexe débouchant sur la surface externe de ladite partie abrasive,
    Ces canaux annexes sont de préférence répartis sur plusieurs niveaux de la partie abrasive de manière à lubrifier uniformément la surface externe de la partie abrasive. Les fluides lubrifiants mis en oeuvre sont, par exemple, de l'huile de coupe ou une émulsion.
  • la partie abrasive comporte des particules abrasives présentant une taille de particule abrasive moyenne comprise entre environ 300 µm et 1000 µm.
  • la partie de polissage comporte des particules abrasives présentant une taille de particule abrasive moyenne comprise entre environ 100 µm et 600 µm,
    La taille de particule abrasive est typiquement déterminée par la plus grande dimension de la particule abrasive. Bien entendu, il existe une distribution de tailles de particule autour de cette taille de particule abrasive moyenne. Néanmoins, on pourra également chercher à exercer un contrôle plus important sur la distribution de tailles des particules de sorte que la partie de polissage ainsi déterminée fournisse une finition de la pièce en matériaux composites plus uniforme.
  • la partie de polissage présente des vides entre les particules abrasives,
    De préférence, la taille moyenne de ces vides est comprise entre 10 et 500 µm.
  • la partie de polissage comporte au moins une zone de surface continue ou non permettant la préhension de l'outil.
In different particular embodiments of this machining tool, each having its particular advantages and susceptible to many possible technical combinations:
  • the tool has at least one central duct opening on the external surface of the abrasive part to ensure lubrication thereof,
    Advantageously, the lubrication of the tool is provided by a conduit placed at the center of the main body of the tool and opening at the end of the abrasive portion at the cutting element.
  • the central duct is further connected in fluid communication with at least one auxiliary channel opening on the external surface of said abrasive part,
    These auxiliary channels are preferably distributed over several levels of the abrasive portion so as to uniformly lubricate the outer surface of the abrasive portion. The lubricating fluids used are, for example, cutting oil or an emulsion.
  • the abrasive part comprises abrasive particles having an average abrasive particle size of between about 300 μm and 1000 μm.
  • the polishing part comprises abrasive particles having an average abrasive particle size of between about 100 μm and 600 μm,
    The abrasive particle size is typically determined by the largest dimension of the abrasive particle. Of course, there is a particle size distribution around this average abrasive particle size. Nevertheless, it may also seek to exercise greater control over the particle size distribution so that the polishing portion thus determined provides a more uniform composite material part finish.
  • the polishing part has voids between the abrasive particles,
    Preferably, the average size of these voids is between 10 and 500 microns.
  • the polishing portion comprises at least one continuous surface area or not allowing gripping of the tool.

Selon l'invention, cet outil coupant est un outil tel que décrit précédemment.According to the invention, this cutting tool is a tool as described above.

L'invention sera décrite plus en détail en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels:

La Figure 1 montre un outil pour l'usinage de pièce en matériaux composites selon un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention. Cet outil a un corps principal sensiblement cylindrique. Ce corps principal comprend d'une part, une partie de polissage 1 de diamètre D1 ayant un axe principal 2 et d'autre part, une partie abrasive 3 de diamètre D2 avec D2 < D1. La partie abrasive 3 est centrée sur cet axe principal 2 de sorte que l'écart entre les diamètres des deux parties (D2-D1)/2 définisse la prise latérale en finition de l'outil.The Figure 1 shows a tool for machining workpiece composite materials according to a particular embodiment of the invention. This tool has a substantially cylindrical main body. This main body comprises firstly, a polishing portion 1 of diameter D 1 having a main axis 2 and secondly, an abrasive portion 3 of diameter D 2 with D 2 <D 1 . The abrasive portion 3 is centered on this main axis 2 so that the difference between the diameters of the two parts (D 2 -D 1 ) / 2 defines the lateral grip in finishing of the tool.

Ces particules abrasives sont avantageusement choisies dans le groupe comprenant le nitrure de bore cubique, le diamant monocristallin ou polycristallin, le carbure, et des combinaisons de ces éléments.These abrasive particles are advantageously chosen from the group comprising cubic boron nitride, monocrystalline or polycrystalline diamond, carbide, and combinations of these elements.

Dans le cas où les particules abrasives de la partie abrasive 3 sont du diamant polycristallin, le dépôt de ces particules peut être réalisé par dépôt électrolytique, par dépôt métal brasé ou dépôt diamant polycristallin brasé, ou encore par le dépôt de couches de diamant par la technique de dépôt chimique en phase vapeur (CVD -"Chemical vapor deposition"). Ces techniques de dépôt, étant connues de l'homme du métier, ne seront pas décrites ici.In the case where the abrasive particles of the abrasive portion 3 are polycrystalline diamond, the deposition of these particles can be achieved by electrolytic deposition, by brazed metal deposition or brazed polycristalline diamond deposition, or by the deposition of diamond layers by the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) technique. These deposition techniques, being known to those skilled in the art, will not be described here.
