Definitions

  • Brush manufacturing machines of a similar type are, for example, from DE 28 26 357 A1 and the EP 0 284 125 A1 previously known.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to create a brush manufacturing machine of the type defined at the outset which is set up to reduce the mechanical loads acting on the at least one servo amplifier.
  • this object is achieved in the brush manufacturing machine defined at the outset by the features of claim 1 and in particular in that the at least one servo amplifier is arranged at a distance from the at least one motor and closer than this to or to the reference point.
  • the at least one servo amplifier can be moved between the at least two processing stations.
  • the at least one servo amplifier may be arranged on a base of the brush manufacturing machine that is movable along the path and around the reference point.
  • the brush manufacturing machine has a preferably ring-shaped, in particular circular, preferably closed, guide that specifies the path, along which the at least one positioning station and / or one, for example the previously mentioned, base of the The brush manufacturing machine is / are movable, in particular movable.
  • the at least one positioning station has two or three or more motors. It is possible that a servo amplifier is provided for each of the motors of the at least one positioning station. As an alternative or in addition to this, it can also be provided that the at least one servo amplifier of the at least one positioning station is a combination servo amplifier that is set up to control several motors and is then correspondingly connected to several or all of the motors of the at least one positioning station.
  • the brush manufacturing machine can have two, three, or four or more positioning stations. These can then be moved cyclically along the path between the processing stations of the brush manufacturing machine.
  • the brush manufacturing machine has at least two positioning stations and that a slip ring collector is provided for one of the at least two positioning stations, while the at least one remaining positioning station has no slip ring collector.
  • a servo amplifier which is last in the direction of the control signal and / or current flow can preferably be connected to one or the one slip ring collector in order to keep a voltage drop as low as possible.
  • the at least one servo amplifier can be mounted on machine parts of the brush manufacturing machine with a large surface area and have a large contact area with the machine part carrying it. This makes it possible to derive the power loss of the servo amplifier as well as possible via the contact surface between the at least one servo amplifier and the machine part.
  • the single figure shows a brush manufacturing machine designed as a carousel machine in a perspective view, with a total of four individual stationary processing stations offset by 90 ° to one another and four positioning stations movable along a circular path, each of which has three motors and a brush holder.
  • the total of four positioning stations 3 all have the same structure. At each of the positioning stations 3 are a brush holder 7 for receiving a processed brush or a brush body to be processed 8 and at least one motor 9 is arranged.

  • This arrangement of the servo amplifiers 10 results in the servo amplifiers 10 being moved when the positioning stations 3 move in the direction of the arrow Pf. 1 along an amplifier trajectory that runs around the reference point 5 and runs closer to the reference point 5 than around the reference point 5 running motor trajectory on which the individual motors 9 of the positioning stations 3 are moved around the reference point 5.
  • the servo amplifiers 10 can be moved between the processing stations 2 of the brush manufacturing machine 1.
  • the servo amplifiers 10 are not arranged directly at the respective positioning stations 3, but rather on a base 15 of the brush manufacturing machine 1 that can be moved along the path 4 and around the reference point 5.
  • This is designed in the form of a disk and lies below the four positioning stations 3.
  • the four positioning stations 3 are arranged on the movable base 15 of the brush manufacturing machine 1.
  • the movable base 15 for its part can also be moved along the path 4 around the reference point 5, here it can be rotated.
  • the positioning stations 3 are for their part movable relative to the base 15.
  • the disk-shaped base 15 has on its outside a rotating ring gear 16 with which gear wheels 17 driven by one of the three motors 9 of each positioning station 3 mesh.
  • the path 4 of the brush manufacturing machine 1 shown in the figure is designed to be closed in the shape of a circular ring.
  • the path 4 has a path geometry that deviates from a circle, but is nevertheless ring-shaped, either closed or open.
  • the brush manufacturing machine 1 has, with the externally rotating toothed ring 16 of the base 15, a circular ring-shaped, closed guide 18 which defines the path 4 and along which the total of four positioning stations 3 around the Reference point 5 and between the processing stations 2 are movable.
  • the brush manufacturing machine 1 shown in the figure is designed as a carousel machine which has an axis of rotation R about which the base 15 and the four positioning stations 3 of the brush manufacturing machine 1 can be moved, in particular rotated, together with the base 15 of the brush manufacturing machine 1 between the four processing stations 2.
  • a slip ring pickup 13 is provided for each positioning station 3. In each case one of the four slip ring pickups 13 is arranged at one of the four positioning stations 3.

  • Each of the total of three motors 9 of each positioning station 3 is connected to the servo amplifier 10 of the respective positioning station 3 via a pair of lines 19, via which current / control signals are transmitted to the respective motor 9 from the servo amplifier 10.
  • the I / O assembly 20 is signal-connected to a control signal line for the respective servo amplifier 10 and / or for power supply via the transmission device 11 to the stationary power connection 14 of the brush manufacturing machine 1.
