- the device can work as follows. While the workpiece 190 is rotated about the workpiece axis 192, the finish tool 100 performs a rapid oscillation in the oscillation direction OR along the movement axis of the oscillator. In addition, an interpolating movement is superimposed by the stone guide to the finishing tool to produce an axial geometry of the machined workpiece section.
- the stone guide For this purpose, it executes a relatively slow and large stroke along the horizontal direction of movement of the linear axis LA.
- the rotary table 430 pivots the stone guide 440 about the pivot axis SA, while the linear axis, which can move the tool holder 180 linear, causes a corresponding length compensation. In this way, an arcuate tool path is imposed on the finish tool. This can be produced by finishing a round or any other axial tool path on the machined workpiece section, whereby a corresponding generatrix line shape can be generated on the workpiece.
- a high oscillation frequency of the oscillation movement (typically at least 10 Hz) parallel to the axial contour ensures a self-sharpening effect of the finish tool, so that a dressing of a finishing tool unlike grinding tools is not required.

- a machine-side fixed part 512 is firmly fastened to the tool carrier 110 with suitable fastening means.
- the fixed part carries a relative to the fixed part of the movable part 514, which is opposite to the fixed part by a Swivel axis SA is limited pivot.
- the cutting pad 520 is attached to the front of the movable part 514.
- the pivotal movement of the movable part with cutting surface with respect to the fixed part is accomplished by means of actuators ACT, which may be constructed using piezo elements, for example.
- the actuators are controlled via the control unit of the finishing device and cause a pivoting of the movable part relative to the fixed part in dependence on the linear movement of the translational axis parallel to the workpiece rotation axis.
- the movable part 514 with the cutting pad 520 may be considered a finishing tool, while the fixed part 512 may be considered part of the tool holder 180.
- the variant of FIGS. 1, 2 and 4 then differs from the variant Fig. 5 in that in the first case, the pivot axis is arranged on the machine side of the tool holder and in the latter case on the tool side of the tool holder.

Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zur Finish-Bearbeitung von Umfangsflächen rotationssymmetrischer Werkstückabschnitte sowie auf eine zur Durchführung des Verfahrens geeignete Vorrichtung.The invention relates to a method for finish machining peripheral surfaces of rotationally symmetrical workpiece sections and to a device suitable for carrying out the method.
Das Finishen, das auch als Superfinishen bezeichnet wird, ist ein spanendes Feinbearbeitungsverfahren mit unbestimmten Schneiden. Durch Finishen können Werkstückoberflächen von rotationssymmetrischen oder nicht-rotationssymmetrischen Werkstückabschnitten an Werkstücken wie Kurbelwellen, Nockenwellen, Getriebewellen oder anderen Bauteilen für Kraft- und Arbeitsmaschinen zur Erzeugung einer gewünschten Oberflächenfeinstruktur bearbeitet werden. Beim Finishen im Einstechverfahren wird ein mit körnigem Schneidmittel besetztes Finish-Werkzeug an die zu bearbeitende Umfangsfläche angedrückt. Zur Erzeugung der für den Materialabtrag erforderlichen Schnittgeschwindigkeit wird das Werkstück um seine Werkstückachse gedreht. Gleichzeitig wird eine parallel zur Werkstückoberfläche oszillierende Relativbewegung zwischen dem Werkstück und dem an der Umfangsfläche anliegenden Finish-Werkzeug erzeugt. Durch die Kombination der Rotationsbewegung des Werkstückes und der überlagerten Oszillationsbewegung kann ein so genanntes Kreuzschliffmuster erzeugt werden, wodurch die bearbeiteten Werkstückoberflächen z.B. als Laufflächen für Gleitlager oder Wälzlager oder dergleichen besonders geeignet sind. Bei dem zu bearbeiteten Werkstückabschnitt kann es sich beispielsweise um ein Hauptlager oder ein Hublager einer Kurbelwelle oder um ein Nockenwellenlager handeln.Finishing, which is also referred to as superfinishing, is a machining process with indefinite cutting edges. By finishing work surfaces of rotationally symmetric or non-rotationally symmetrical workpiece sections on workpieces such as crankshafts, camshafts, transmission shafts or other components for power and working machines can be edited to produce a desired surface fine structure. When finishing in the piercing process, a finishing tool with granular cutting agent is pressed against the peripheral surface to be machined. To produce the cutting speed required for the material removal, the workpiece is rotated about its workpiece axis. At the same time, a relative movement that oscillates parallel to the workpiece surface is produced between the workpiece and the finish tool resting against the peripheral surface. Through the combination of the rotational movement of the workpiece and the superimposed oscillatory motion, a so-called cross-cut pattern can be created, whereby the machined workpiece surfaces e.g. As running surfaces for plain bearings or bearings or the like are particularly suitable. The workpiece section to be machined may be, for example, a main bearing or a crank bearing of a crankshaft or a camshaft bearing.
Im Unterschied zum Schleifen ist das Finishen ein thermisch neutrales Bearbeitungsverfahren, bei dem keine mit Mikrorissen oder Oberflächenspannungen durchsetzte Weichhaut entsteht. Das Finishen wird häufig nach einem Schleifprozess als letztes spanabhebendes Bearbeitungsverfahren einer Prozesskette eingesetzt, um die Weichhaut zu entfernen, die ursprüngliche Gefügestruktur wieder freizulegen, den Traganteil der aufgerauten Oberflächenstruktur zu erhöhen und die Bauteilgeometrie bezüglich Rundheit und kurzwelligen Fehlern in Axialrichtung und Umfangsrichtung zu verbessern.In contrast to grinding, finishing is a thermally neutral processing method in which no soft skin interspersed with microcracks or surface tensions arises. Finishing is often used after a grinding process as the last machining process of a process chain to remove the soft skin, re-exposing the original microstructure, increasing the support of the roughened surface structure, and improving the component geometry in terms of roundness and shortwave errors in the axial and circumferential directions.
Das Schleifen ist dabei die letzte formgebende Bearbeitungsoperation. Beim Schleifen ist die Geometrie des Schleifwerkzeugs der Maschinensteuerung bekannt, so dass das Werkstück entsprechend der durch die Maschinensteuerung bewirkten Werkzeugführung durch Schleifen konturiert werden kann. Eine Voraussetzung für diese Formgebung ist das regelmäßige Abrichten oder Einmessen der Schleifwerkzeuge. Der Schleifprozess ist aber in der Regel nicht in der Lage, die durch die Finish-Bearbeitung erzielbaren Oberflächeneigenschaften zu erzielen.Grinding is the last shaping machining operation. When grinding, the geometry of the grinding tool of the machine control is known, so that the workpiece can be contoured by grinding according to the guided by the machine control tool guide. A prerequisite for this shaping is the regular dressing or calibration of the grinding tools. However, the grinding process is usually unable to achieve the achievable by the finish machining surface properties.
Bei der Finish-Bearbeitung rotationssymmetrischer Lagerstellen steht normalerweise die Erhaltung der axialen Kontur im Vordergrund. Eine Verbesserung der Formwerte an zylindrischen Lagerstellen findet überwiegend in radialer Richtung statt und steht stark in Abhängigkeit zur Vorbearbeitung. So können beispielsweise kurzwellige Fehleranteile z.B. mit mehr als 15 Wellen am Umfang, relativ prozesssicher verbessert werden, während langwellige Anteile, wie z.B. Ovale, Dreiecke oder Vierecke, durch Finishen in der Regel nicht positiv beeinflusst werden können. Das Zerspanungsvolumen durch den Finish-Prozess liegt in der Regel unter ca. 10 µm. Um die Geometrie bestmöglich zu erhalten, wird der Materialabtrag des Finish-Prozesses im Normalfall auf die Vorbearbeitung abgestimmt.In the finishing machining of rotationally symmetrical bearing points, the preservation of the axial contour is usually in the foreground. An improvement in the form values on cylindrical bearings takes place mainly in the radial direction and is highly dependent on the pre-processing. For example, short-wave error components, e.g. with more than 15 waves on the circumference, are relatively reliably improved, while long-wave components, such as e.g. Ovals, triangles or quadrilaterals can not be positively influenced by finishing. The cutting volume through the finishing process is usually less than 10 μm. In order to obtain the best possible geometry, the material removal of the finishing process is normally adjusted to the pre-processing.
Das Schleifen ist in der Regel die letzte formgebende Bearbeitungsoperation. Das bedeutet, dass die Konturierung einer rotationssymmetrischen Lagerstelle im Wesentlichen durch den dem Finish-Prozess vorgeschalteten Schleifprozess erfolgt. Ein kontinuierliches Abrichten der Schleifscheibe ist für die Formgebung und Gestaltung der Lagerstelle zwingend notwendig. Je nach Anforderung und Zeichnungstoleranz an die Lagerstelle reduziert oder verlängert sich der Abricht-Zyklus. Der Schleifprozess ist aber in der Regel nicht in der Lage, die durch die Finish-Bearbeitung erzielbaren Oberflächeneigenschaften zu erzielen.Grinding is usually the last shaping machining operation. This means that the contouring of a rotationally symmetrical bearing point essentially takes place through the grinding process preceding the finishing process. A continuous dressing of the grinding wheel is imperative for the shaping and design of the bearing. Depending on the requirement and the drawing tolerance of the bearing, the dressing cycle is reduced or extended. However, the grinding process is usually unable to achieve the achievable by the finish machining surface properties.
Bei der Bearbeitung von Lagerabschnitten an Wellen sind die Geometrieanforderungen häufig so, dass einzelne oder alle Lagerabschnitte eine leicht ballige Gestalt aufweisen sollen. Eine ballige (tonnenförmige, konvexe) Gestalt rotationssymmetrischer Lagerabschnitten kann dazu beitragen, Lagerschäden aufgrund von Flucht- und Formfehlern der im Lager zusammenwirkenden Komponenten zu vermindern. Entsprechende, vom Kunden vorgegebene finale Mantellinienanforderungen bezüglich Balligkeit drücken sich in der Regel in Durchmesserunterschieden von wenigen Mikrometern zwischen unterschiedlichen axialen Positionen des Lagerabschnitts aus.When machining bearing sections on shafts, the geometry requirements are often such that individual or all bearing sections should have a slightly spherical shape. A crowned (barrel-shaped, convex) shape of rotationally symmetric bearing sections can help to reduce bearing damage due to flight and form errors of the components interacting in the bearing. Corresponding, specified by the customer final generatrix requirements regarding crowning are usually expressed in diameter differences of a few micrometers between different axial positions of the bearing section.
Beim Schleifen von Kurbelwellen-Lagerabschnitten kann eine ballige Makroform durch entsprechende Abrichtung der Umfangsflächen der beim Schleifen verwendeten Schleifscheiben erreicht werden (vgl. z.B.

Es ist eine Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung für einen Finish-Prozess bereitzustellen, die es gestatten, mit Hilfe der Finish-Bearbeitung aus einer Vorbearbeitung resultierende Formwerte bearbeiteter Werkstückabschnitte nicht nur zu erhalten und ggf. leicht zu verbessern, sondern bei Bedarf auch gezielt beeinflussen und erzeugen bzw. verändern zu können. Insbesondere soll die Möglichkeit geschaffen werden, mittels Finishen nichtzylindrische Werkstückabschnitte mit vorgebbarer balliger Gestalt zu erzeugen.It is an object of the invention to provide a method and apparatus for a finishing process which allow not only to obtain and, if necessary, to slightly improve the resulting shape values of machined workpiece sections with the aid of the finish machining from a rough machining, but if necessary also be able to influence and create or change it. In particular, the possibility should be created to produce non-cylindrical workpiece sections with predefinable spherical shape by means of finishing.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe stellt die Erfindung ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1 bereit. Weiterhin wird eine zur Durchführung des Verfahrens geeignete Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 3 bereitgestellt. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben. Der Inhalt sämtlicher Ansprüche wird durch Bezugnahme zum Inhalt der Beschreibung gemacht.To achieve this object, the invention provides a method having the features of claim 1. Furthermore, a device suitable for carrying out the method is provided with the features of claim 3. Advantageous developments are specified in the dependent claims. The content of all claims is incorporated herein by reference.
Bei der beanspruchten Erfindung wird dem Finish-Werkzeug bzw. dem für den Materialabtrag maßgeblichen, mit Schneidmittel versehenen Teil des Finish-Werkzeugs während einer geradlinigen Linearbewegung parallel zur Rotationsachse des Werkstücks eine dieser Linearbewegung überlagerte Schwenkbewegung aufgezwungen, so dass der abrasive Teil des Finish-Werkzeugs entlang einer mindestens teilweise gekrümmten Werkzeuglaufbahn geführt wird.In the claimed invention, the finish tool or the relevant for the material removal, provided with cutting means part of the finishing tool during a rectilinear Linear motion parallel to the axis of rotation of the workpiece imposed on a linear motion of this pivotal movement, so that the abrasive part of the finish tool is guided along an at least partially curved tool path.
Hierdurch lassen sich am bearbeiteten Werkstückabschnitt unterschiedliche, axial nebeneinander liegende Axialabschnitte gezielt mit unterschiedlich starkem Materialabtrag finishen, wodurch eine gewünschte, in Axialrichtung nicht geradlinig verlaufende Mantellinienform gezielt erzeugt werden kann. Die Mantellinienform kann somit mit Hilfe einer speziellen Maschinenkonfiguration gegenüber der aus der Vorbearbeitung resultierenden Mantellinienform verändert werden. Somit ist eine formgebende Bearbeitung mittels Finishen möglich.As a result, different, axially juxtaposed axial sections on the machined workpiece section can be finishen specifically with different degrees of material removal, whereby a desired, in the axial direction not rectilinear generating line form can be selectively generated. The generatrix shape can thus be changed by means of a special machine configuration with respect to the generatrix line resulting from the preprocessing. Thus, a shaping processing by Finishen is possible.
Bei manchen Bearbeitungsvarianten erfolgt die Steuerung der Maschine so, dass in einer Endphase eines Linearhubes der linearen Maschinenachse ein in Bewegungsrichtung der Linearbewegung vorauseilender vorderer Endabschnitt des Finish-Werkzeugs näher an der Werkstückachse liegt und/oder mit höherer lokaler Andrückkraft an die Umfangsfläche angedrückt wird als ein nacheilender hinterer Endabschnitt. Hierdurch sind generell konvexe bzw. ballige Formen erzielbar. Zu den Formen gehören insbesondere eine voll-ballige Mantellinienform, eine zylindrisch-ballige Mantellinienform oder eine zylindrisch-logarithmische Mantellinienform.In some processing variants, the control of the machine is carried out so that in an end phase of a linear stroke of the linear machine axis leading in the direction of movement of the linear motion leading end portion of the finish tool closer to the workpiece axis and / or is pressed with higher local contact force to the peripheral surface than a trailing rear end section. As a result, generally convex or spherical shapes can be achieved. The forms include, in particular, a full-crowned generatrix line shape, a cylindrical-crowned generatrix line shape or a cylindrical-logarithmic generatrix line shape.
In konstruktiver Hinsicht kann dies bei einer Vorrichtung dadurch realisiert werden, dass im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Maschinenkonzepten eine zusätzliche bzw. weitere gezielt ansteuerbare Maschinenachse, nämlich eine rotatorische Maschinenachse, vorgesehen wird, um durch eine Überlagerung zweier linearer Bewegungsachsen und einer Rotationsachse eine zweidimensionale, nahezu beliebige Bahnkurve für das Finish-Werkzeug zu realisieren.In terms of design, this can be realized in a device in that compared to conventional machine concepts, an additional or more specifically controllable machine axis, namely a rotary machine axis, is provided to a two-dimensional, almost arbitrary by a superposition of two linear axes of motion and a rotation axis Trajectory for the finish tool to realize.
Eine robuste und zuverlässig arbeitende Variante einer Vorrichtung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die translatorische Maschinenachse einen Horizontalschlitten aufweist, der eine rotatorische Maschinenachse mit einem Rundtisch umfasst, welche relativ zum Schlitten mit Hilfe eines numerisch gesteuerten Drehantriebs, beispielsweise eines Servomotors, um eine der Schwenkachse entsprechende horizontale Rotationsachse verdrehbar ist. Der Rundtisch kann eine Steinführung tragen, die eine translatorische Maschinenachse aufweist, um den Werkzeughalter entlang einer Vorschubrichtung zu bewegen, die senkrecht zur Schwenkachse verläuft und der Andrückrichtung entspricht.A robust and reliably working variant of a device is characterized in that the translatory machine axis has a horizontal slide comprising a rotary machine axis with a rotary table which relative to the carriage by means of a numerically controlled rotary drive, for example a servo motor, corresponding to one of the pivot axis horizontal axis of rotation is rotatable. The rotary table may carry a stone guide having a translatory machine axis to move the tool holder along a feed direction which is perpendicular to the pivot axis and corresponds to the pressing direction.
Es wäre auch möglich, die Maschinenachsen auf andere Weise zu kombinieren, beispielsweise indem eine rotatorische Maschinenachse mit einem Rundtisch vorgesehen ist, der eine Linearführung für eine translatorische Maschinenachse trägt.It would also be possible to combine the machine axes in other ways, for example by providing a rotary machine axis with a rotary table carrying a linear guide for a translatory machine axis.
Es ist auch möglich, dass die rotatorische Achse als eine in das Finish-Werkzeug integrierte Achse realisiert wird, also an der Werkzeugseite des Werkzeughalters liegt. Auch hierdurch kann erreicht werden, dass das abrasive Schneidmittel entlang der gewünschten bogenförmigen Laufbahn zwangsgeführt wird, um beispielsweise eine ballige Gestalt am Werkstückabschnitt zu generieren.It is also possible that the rotary axis is realized as an integrated into the finish tool axis, that is located on the tool side of the tool holder. This also makes it possible to achieve that the abrasive cutting means along the desired arcuate Runway is constrained, for example, to generate a spherical shape on the workpiece section.

Um an dem Werkstückabschnitt mittels Finishen einen Materialabtrag zu bewirken, wird ein Finish-Werkzeug 100 mit einer in einer Andrückrichtung AR wirkenden Andrückkraft F an die zu bearbeitende Umfangsfläche bzw. an den zu bearbeitenden Werkstückabschnitt angedrückt. Hierzu hat die Finish-Maschine eine entsprechende Andrückeinrichtung.In order to effect a material removal on the workpiece section by means of finishing, a
Der Materialabtrag wird dadurch unterstützt, dass mithilfe einer Oszillationseinrichtung eine parallel zur Werkstückoberfläche ausgerichtete oszillierende Relativbewegung zwischen dem Werkstück und dem Finish-Werkzeug erzeugt wird (siehe Doppelpfeil OSZ). Im Beispielsfall ist die Oszillationseinrichtung auf Seiten des Finish-Werkzeugs angebracht, so dass das Finish-Werkzeug in einer senkrecht zur Andrückrichtung AR verlaufenden Oszillationsrichtung OR oszillierend bewegt wird, während das Werkstück sich lediglich um die Werkstückachse 192 dreht. Die Oszillationseinrichtung umfasst hier einen pneumatischen Schwinger, der das Finish-Werkzeug relativ zum Werkzeughalter 180 bewegen kann.The removal of material is supported by the fact that an oscillating relative movement between the workpiece and the finishing tool aligned parallel to the workpiece surface is produced by means of an oscillation device (see double arrow OSZ). In the example case, the oscillation device is mounted on the side of the finish tool, so that the finish tool is oscillated in an oscillation direction OR perpendicular to the pressing direction AR, while the workpiece rotates only about the
Weiterhin ist eine translatorische Maschinenachse (numerisch gesteuerte Linearachse) vorgesehen, die eine der Oszillationsbewegung überlagerte Linearbewegung des Finish-Werkzeugs in einer Linearhubrichtung LR bewirken kann, welche parallel zur Werkstückachse 192 verläuft. Diese Linearbewegung (Doppelpfeil LIN) kann bei Bedarf über eine Linearhublänge erfolgen, die größer als der Oszillationshub ist.Furthermore, a translatory machine axis (numerically controlled linear axis) is provided which can effect a linear movement of the finishing tool superimposed on the oscillatory movement in a linear lifting direction LR which runs parallel to the
Weiterhin ist eine rotatorische Achse (numerisch gesteuerte Rotationsachse) zur Erzeugung einer der Linearbewegung überlagerten Schwenkbewegung des Finish-Werkzeugs vorgesehen. Die Schwenkbewegung (gekrümmter Doppelpfeil SW) erfolgt um eine Schwenkachse SA, die senkrecht zur Werkstückachse und senkrecht zur Andrückrichtung AR verläuft.Furthermore, a rotary axis (numerically controlled axis of rotation) for generating a linear movement of the superimposed pivotal movement of the finishing tool is provided. The pivoting movement (curved double arrow SW) takes place about a pivot axis SA, which is perpendicular to the workpiece axis and perpendicular to the pressing direction AR.
Die Steuerung der Finishmaschine ist im Beispielsfall so konfiguriert, dass eine Schwenkposition des Finish-Werkzeugs, d.h. die aktuelle Drehposition um die Schwenkachse SA, in Abhängigkeit von einer Axialposition der Linearbewegung LIN steuerbar ist. Damit wird die Orientierung der Oszillationsrichtung OSZ in Bezug auf das Maschinekoordinatensystem im Beispielsfall eine Funktion der Axialposition der Linearbewegung und der Schwenkposition und verläuft phasenweise nicht parallel, sondern in variierendem spitzem Winkel zur Werkstückachse.The control of the finishing machine is configured in the example so that a pivotal position of the finishing tool, i. the current rotational position about the pivot axis SA, in response to an axial position of the linear movement LIN is controllable. Thus, the orientation of the oscillation direction OSZ with respect to the machine coordinate system in the example, a function of the axial position of the linear movement and the pivot position and is phased not parallel, but at varying acute angle to the workpiece axis.
Das am freien Ende eines Werkzeughalters 180 montierte Finish-Werkzeug 100 weist einen Schneidmittelträger 110 auf, der typischerweise aus Werkzeugstahl oder einem anderen metallischen Werkstoff gefertigt ist und an seiner Rückseite Einrichtungen zur Montage des Finish-Werkzeugs am Werkzeughalter 180 umfasst. An der Vorderseite des Schneidmittelträgers ist ein Schneidbelag 120 zum Beispiel mithilfe eines Klebers oder mittels Schrauben befestigt. Der durch einen Sinterwerkstoff gebildete Schneidbelag enthält eine Vielzahl von Schneidmittelkörnern, die im Beispielsfall homogen innerhalb einer Matrix aus einem Bindemittel verteilt sind. Schneidmittelkörner können beispielsweise Diamantkörner oder Körner aus kubischem Bornitrid (CBN) sein. Als Bindemittel kommt beispielsweise ein keramischer oder ein metallischer Werkstoff in Betracht.The
Der Schneidbelag hat an seiner dem Schneidmittelträger zugewandten Grundseite normalerweise einen Rechteckquerschnitt. Definitionsgemäß ist die Längsrichtung L des Schneidbelags diejenige Richtung, die bei der Finish-Bearbeitung im Wesentlichen parallel zur Werkstückrotationsachse verläuft. Senkrecht zur Längsrichtung L verläuft die Querrichtung Q in der Weise, dass Längsrichtung und Querrichtung in einer Ebene senkrecht zur Andrückrichtung liegen.The cutting coating normally has a rectangular cross section on its base side facing the cutting medium carrier. By definition, the longitudinal direction L of the cutting pad is that direction which, in the finish machining, is substantially parallel to the workpiece rotational axis. Perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L, the transverse direction Q extends in such a way that the longitudinal direction and transverse direction lie in a plane perpendicular to the pressing direction.
Auf der dem Schneidmittelträger abgewandten Seite bildet der Schneidbelag eine abrasive, konkav-zylindrische Schneidfläche 125, mit der der Schneidbelag während der Finish-Bearbeitung mehr oder weniger großflächig an der zu bearbeitenden Umfangsfläche anliegt. Wie in
Anhand der schematischen
Der Linearhub, d.h. die Hublänge der Linearbewegung, ist in
Der achsparallelen Linearbewegung ist eine Schwenkbewegung des Finish-Werkzeugs um eine senkrecht zur Linearrichtung und senkrecht zur Andrückrichtung verlaufende Schwenkachse überlagert. Um die dargestellte konvexe, d.h. tonnenförmige Gestalt des Umfangsabschnitts zu erreichen, wird die Schwenkbewegung so gesteuert, dass in einer Endphase eines Linearhubs, also in der zweiten Hälfte eines Linearhubs nach Überschreiten einer Mittelposition, nach Vorgabe eines Steuerprogramms ein in Bewegungsrichtung der Linearbewegung vorauseilender vorderer Endabschnitt des Finish-Werkzeugs näher an der Werkstückachse 192 liegt bzw. mit höherer lokaler Andrückkraft an die Umfangsfläche angedrückt wird als ein in der Bewegungsrichtung nacheilender hinterer Endabschnitt. Bewegt sich das Finish-Werkzeug beispielsweise in die erste Richtung R1 in
Der maximale Schwenkwinkel der Schwenkbewegung, d.h. der maximale Winkel zwischen momentaner Orientierung der Andrückrichtung und der Nullpunktslage (Andrückrichtung senkrecht zur Werkstückrotationsachse 192) ist normalerweise sehr klein und liegt in der Regel unterhalb von 1°, ggf. auch unterhalb von 0.1°. Der Schwenkwinkel kann z.B. im Bereich 0.01° bis 0.1° liegen.The maximum swing angle of the pivotal movement, i. the maximum angle between the instantaneous orientation of the pressing direction and the zero point position (pressing direction perpendicular to the workpiece rotation axis 192) is normally very small and is generally below 1 °, possibly also below 0.1 °. The swivel angle may be e.g. in the range 0.01 ° to 0.1 °.
Die Oszillationsrichtung OR verläuft mit dieser Kinematik immer parallel zur Werkstückoberfläche in einer die Werkstückachse 192 enthaltenden Axialebene. Die Andrückkraft wirkt bei dieser Kinematik unabhängig von der axialen Position des Finish-Werkzeugs immer im Wesentlichen in Normalenrichtung zum gerade bearbeiteten Teil des Werkstückabschnitts, also senkrecht zur Werkstückoberfläche. Bei gleichmäßiger Rotationsgeschwindigkeit des Werkstücks und gleichmäßiger Oszillationsfrequenz wird der lokale Materialabtrag im Wesentlichen durch die lokal herrschende Andrückkraft bestimmt, so dass mithilfe der Finish-Bearbeitung die ballige Gestalt mit konvexer Mantellinie erzeugt werden kann.The oscillation direction OR always runs with this kinematics parallel to the workpiece surface in an axial plane containing the
Um zu erreichen, dass die gewünschte Andrückkraft unabhängig vom lokalen Durchmesser des gerade bearbeiteten Teils des Werkstückabschnitts allein durch die Ansteuerung der Andrückeinrichtung bestimmt wird, ist der Linearbewegung und der Schwenkbewegung noch eine in Andrückrichtung verlaufende lineare Ausgleichsbewegung überlagert.In order to achieve that the desired pressing force is determined independently of the local diameter of the currently machined part of the workpiece section solely by the actuation of the pressing device, the linear movement and the pivoting movement is superimposed on a linear compensating movement extending in the pressing direction.
Es ist ersichtlich, dass nach dem gleichen Prinzip auch andere axiale Geometrien erzeugt werden können. Wird die Schwenkbewegung beispielsweise so gestaltet, dass die Andrückrichtung AR in einem breiteren Bereich um die axiale Mitte des Umfangsabschnitts senkrecht zur Werkstückrotationsachse 192 ausgerichtet bleibt und nur in den Endphasen nahe der Umkehrpunkte das Finish-Werkzeug verschwenkt wird, so kann beispielsweise eine zylindrisch-ballige axiale Geometrie erzeugt werden, bei der sich im Mittelbereich ein zylindrischer Teil des Werkstückabschnitts befindet, der zu den axialen Rändern hin zur Verkleinerung des Durchmessers verrundet wird. Auch eine zylindrisch-logarithmische oder ein konkave Mantellinienform kann auf diese Weise erzeugt werden.It can be seen that other axial geometries can be produced according to the same principle. If, for example, the pivoting movement is designed in such a way that the pressing direction AR remains aligned in a wider area about the axial center of the peripheral section perpendicular to the
Das Ausmaß der Balligkeit, beispielsweise gegeben durch den Radienunterschied ΔR zwischen dem Bereich mit größtem Radius bzw. Durchmesser und dem Bereich mit kleinstem Radius bzw. Durchmesser liegt normalerweise in der Größenordnung einiger Mikrometer, beispielsweise zwischen 1 und 5 µm.The degree of crowning given, for example, by the difference in radius ΔR between the region of greatest radius or diameter and the region of smallest radius or diameter is normally of the order of a few micrometers, for example between 1 and 5 μm.
Anhand von
An einem vertikalen Träger 410 der Vorrichtung ist eine lineare Maschinenachse LA mit horizontaler Achsrichtung vorgesehen. Durch diese wird die beschriebene Linearbewegung erzeugt. Die lineare Maschinenachse umfasst einen Horizontalschlitten 420, der entlang von horizontalen Führungsschienen 425 geführt ist und mithilfe eines Servomotors (nicht gezeigt) über eine Kugelrollspindel bewegt wird. Der Schlitten 420 trägt eine rotatorische Maschinenachse, welche einen Rundtisch 430 umfasst, der relativ zum Schlitten 420 mithilfe eines numerisch gesteuerten Drehantriebs um eine horizontale Rotationsachse verdreht werden kann, die der Schwenkachse SA entspricht. Der um die Schwenkachse verdrehbare Rundtisch 430 trägt an seiner Vorderseite eine sogenannte Steinführung 440, die eine translatorische Maschinenachse beinhaltet, um den Werkzeughalter 180 entlang einer senkrecht zur Schwenkachse SA verlaufenden Vorschubrichtung zu verschieben, welche der Andrückrichtung AR entspricht. Am vorderen Ende des Werkzeughalters ist das Finish-Werkzeug 100 angebracht, welches das Werkstück 190 bearbeitet, das für die Bearbeitung mithilfe einer Dreheinrichtung so angetrieben wird, dass es sich um seine Werkstückrotationsachse 192 mit einer vorgegebenen Drehzahl (beispielsweise zwischen 50 min-1 und 300 min-1 dreht.On a
Die Vorrichtung kann wie folgt arbeiten. Während das Werkstück 190 um die Werkstückachse 192 gedreht wird, führt das Finish-Werkzeug 100 entlang der Bewegungsachse der Oszillationseinrichtung eine schnelle Oszillationsbewegung in Oszillationsrichtung OR aus. Zusätzlich wird zur Erzeugung einer axialen Geometrie des bearbeitenden Werkstückabschnitts dem Finish-Werkzeug eine interpolierende Bewegung durch die Steinführung überlagert. Die Steinführung führt hierzu entlang der horizontalen Bewegungsrichtung der Linearachse LA einen relativ langsamen und großen Hub aus. Gleichzeitig schwenkt der Rotationstisch 430 die Steinführung 440 um die Schwenkachse SA, während die Linearachse, die den Werkzeughalter 180 linear verschieben kann, einen entsprechenden Längenausgleich bewirkt. Auf diese Weise wird dem Finish-Werkzeug eine bogenförmige Werkzeuglaufbahn aufgezwungen. Dadurch kann am bearbeiteten Werkstückabschnitt durch Finishen eine runde oder beliebige andere axiale Werkzeuglaufbahn erzeugt werden, wodurch eine entsprechende Mantellinienform am Werkstück erzeugt werden kann.The device can work as follows. While the
Durch die Veränderung des Schwenkwinkels in Verbindung mit der Bewegung der linearen Maschinenachse LA sind alle denkbaren Konturen in axialer Richtung des bearbeiteten Umfangsabschnitts zu gestalten und zu beeinflussen. Konvexe wie auch konkave Linienformen der Mantellinie können erzielt werden.By changing the pivot angle in conjunction with the movement of the linear machine axis LA all conceivable contours in the axial direction of the machined peripheral portion are to be designed and influenced. Convex as well as concave line shapes of the generatrix can be achieved.
Durch die hiermit geschaffene Möglichkeit, mittels Finishen die Mantellinienform von Lagerstellen in axialer Richtung gezielt beeinflussen zu können, kann in zukünftigen Fertigungsprozessen gegebenenfalls auf das bei herkömmlichen Prozessen vorgelagerte Fertigschleifen verzichtet werden. Dadurch, dass die Finish-Bearbeitung nun als formgebende Bearbeitung ausgelegt sein kann, steht der Finish-Prozess nicht mehr in Abhängigkeit zur Vorbearbeitung bzw. ist weniger von der Vorbearbeitung abhängig. Der Finish-Prozess kann dadurch gegebenenfalls auch leistungsfähiger mit größerem Zerspanungsvolumen ausgelegt werden. Auf die früher üblichen Abrichtzyklen bei Schleifwerkzeugen nach einer gewissen Anzahl bearbeiteter Lagerstellen kann gegebenenfalls unter Nutzung dieser neuartigen Finish-Technologie verzichtet werden. Eine hohe Schwingungsfrequenz der Oszillationsbewegung (typischerweise mindestens 10 Hz) parallel zur axialen Kontur gewährleistet einen Selbstschärfeffekt des Finish-Werkzeugs, so dass ein Abrichten eines Finish-Werkzeugs anders als bei Schleifwerkzeugen nicht erforderlich ist. Somit kann die Prozesskette deutlich reduziert und Investitionen können eingespart werden.As a result of the possibility thus created of being able to influence the generatrix shape of bearing points in the axial direction in a targeted manner by means of finishing, it may be possible in future production processes to dispense with the finish grinding which precedes conventional processes. Due to the fact that the finish machining can now be designed as a shaping treatment, the finishing process no longer depends on the pre-processing or is less dependent on the pre-processing. If necessary, the finishing process can also be designed more efficiently with a larger cutting volume. The previously customary dressing cycles for grinding tools after a certain number of processed bearings may possibly be dispensed with using this novel finish technology. A high oscillation frequency of the oscillation movement (typically at least 10 Hz) parallel to the axial contour ensures a self-sharpening effect of the finish tool, so that a dressing of a finishing tool unlike grinding tools is not required. Thus, the process chain can be significantly reduced and investments can be saved.
Bei dem bisher dargestellten Beispiel ist die rotatorische Schwenkachse eine Maschinenachse, während das Finish-Werkzeug ein konventionelles passives Finish-Werkzeug ist. Bei anderen Ausführungsbeispielen kann auf eine rotatorische Schwenkachse in der Finish-Vorrichtung verzichtet werden. Stattdessen kann die Schwenkbewegung bzw. eine entsprechende Schwenkachse in ein aktiv ansteuerbares Finish-Werkzeug integriert sein.
Bei dieser Variante kann der bewegliche Teil 514 mit dem Schneidbelag 520 als Finish-Werkzeug angesehen werden, während der feste Teil 512 als Teil des Werkzeughalters 180 angesehen werden kann. Die Variante der
