Definitions

  • the invention relates to a honing device and a method for honing a workpiece opening.
  • the surface of a workpiece opening to be machined is modified in terms of its shape and surface.
  • a shape deviating from an ideal circular cylinder is impressed on the macroscopically considered circular-cylindrical shape of the workpiece opening or bore.
  • the shape deviation is in the range of typically 10 ⁇ m to a maximum of a few 100 ⁇ m, in particular less than 100 ⁇ m, based on the diameter.
  • a specific initial bore shape is either assumed or the initial bore shape is determined during a measurement prior to honing, typically at a separate measuring station is carried out. Based on this initial bore shape, a specific honing process is then determined and then carried out. The workpiece opening is converted into a target shape by means of this honing process. After the honing, it may be checked whether the machining result corresponds to the desired target shape. If deviations are found, the machining process is adjusted when machining the next hole.
  • DE 10 2007 063 200 A1 shows a method and a device for fine machining a workpiece with a multi-edged rotary tool and use of a structure-borne noise sensor.
  • EP 1 932 620 A1 shows a method for fine machining of cylindrical inner surfaces of bores and a fine machining system for this.
  • the device has a pneumatically operated air measuring device for monitoring the machining progress.
  • the aim of the present invention is now to provide a honing device and a honing method by means of which, in particular, shaping honing can be carried out as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.
  • the aim is also to increase the precision of the machining and, if possible, to avoid rejects.
  • this object is achieved by a honing device for machining a workpiece opening according to claim 1 and by a method for honing according to claim 6.
  • the honing device includes a honing tool, a link rod or coupling rod, and a spindle.
  • the articulated rod or the coupling rod are therefore provided as alternatives to one another, with one articulated rod usually being provided.
  • the honing tool is designed with a plurality of radially feedable honing elements distributed around the circumference of the honing tool.
  • Honing elements include honing stones and a substructure. Honing stones are through parts of the honing elements causing abrasive contact with the surface to be machined.
  • the honing tool is articulated to the spindle via the articulated rod.
  • the honing tool is rigidly connected to the spindle, so the axis of the spindle coupling rod and honing tool necessarily coincide during machining.
  • the articulated coupling can be formed via a first swivel joint and a second swivel joint.
  • the swivel joints form the connection to the spindle and the honing tool at the ends of the connecting rod.
  • the articulated coupling makes it possible to compensate for an axis offset between the spindle and the workpiece opening.
  • the spindle is designed to be driven with a drive unit.
  • the drive unit is kept stationary and sets the spindle and thus the honing device in motion.
  • This movement is the typical honing movement in which the honing device is set in an oscillatory translational movement with a superimposed rotational movement in relation to the workpiece, which includes the workpiece opening to be machined.
  • the honing device includes a measuring device for measuring the diameter of the workpiece opening with at least one air measuring nozzle arranged on the honing tool.
  • the air measuring nozzle is typically arranged in an air measuring bar, which is arranged between two honing elements, for example. Typically, several air measuring nozzles around the Distributed around the circumference of the honing tool.
  • the air measuring nozzles are supplied with compressed air via compressed air lines.
  • One or more pairs of air measuring nozzles can also be provided, with the air measuring nozzles of a pair in particular being arranged diametrically opposite one another.
  • the honing device also has an electromechanical infeed system.
  • the honing elements can be advanced in the radial direction via the electromechanical infeed system.
  • the infeed system includes a force measuring unit and is designed to infeed the honing elements with a definable force against an opening wall of the workpiece opening to be machined.
  • the infeed system is thus designed in such a way that the honing elements can be brought into contact with the opening wall with a defined force.
  • the contact pressure of the honing stones of the honing elements can thus be set precisely.
  • the local material removal depends on the local contact pressure or the contact force.
  • the feed system feeds the honing elements with a defined force, whereby it is provided that the honing elements distributed around the circumference are all fed with the same force.
  • the honing device also includes a signal converter, which is designed to convert a pneumatic measurement signal detected via the air measurement nozzle into an electrical signal. Air measuring nozzles set up a jet of compressed air the opening wall to be measured. Based on the resulting back pressure or the change in back pressure, a pneumatic measurement signal is generated which characterizes the local diameter.
  • the signal converter is arranged on the honing device, ie on the spindle, link rod or honing tool.
  • the honing device in the sense of the present invention consists of the parts that move relative to the workpiece during machining with the typical honing movement (rotation plus oscillatory translational movement).
  • the signal converter was arranged in the area of the machine construction that was stationary relative to the workpiece, for example in the area of the drive of the honing spindle.
  • this requires a rotary feedthrough for the compressed air lines and, on the other hand, the pneumatic measurement signal has to cover the axial length of the spindle, the connecting rod and the honing tool.
  • the longer the distance to be covered by the pneumatic measurement signal the more sluggish is the detection of the local diameter and the more the signal is delayed or even deflected.
  • a mean value of the opening diameter was therefore measured dynamically, with averaging over the circumference and the axial extent of the opening.
  • the amplitude of the measuring signal which can be assigned to a real local bore diameter, was falsified when the measuring nozzle moved dynamically.
  • a determination of the local diameter with Resolution in the axial direction was not possible with conventional systems during honing, or at best with reduced axial speeds that were not suitable for series production.
  • due to the compressible nature of the gas used in pneumatic measurements it was not possible to determine an association between the time at which the measurement signals were input and a position in the workpiece opening in the conventional devices.
  • the signal converter is arranged on the connecting rod, this has the advantage that it is arranged outside of the workpiece bore/opening to be machined but close to the workpiece opening, so that the line length and therefore the inertia of the pneumatic measurement signal is small. It can be advantageous to arrange the signal converter as far as possible in the region of the joint (ie close to the joint) of the articulated rod with which it is connected to the honing tool.
  • the signal converter can be arranged on the honing tool itself in order to achieve the shortest possible path for the pneumatic signal from the measuring nozzle to the signal converter.
  • An arrangement on the honing tool itself requires additional shielding measures for the signal converter, since this is located in an area during honing in which it is exposed to cooling lubricants.
  • the signal converter can be in the area of the spindle around the joint with which the spindle is coupled to the joint rod is to be arranged. As a result, the signal converter is not influenced by changes in the position of the connecting rod.
  • the signal converter can communicate the measurement signals to a control unit in a wired or wireless manner.
  • the control unit in turn, can use the measurement signals to correspondingly control the electromechanical delivery system and/or the lifting movement.
  • the honing tool can include at least 2 air measuring nozzles. If 2 air measuring nozzles are provided, they can be arranged diametrically opposite one another. At least 3 air measuring nozzles can also be provided. Several air measuring nozzles can be distributed evenly around the circumference of the honing tool. The measurement accuracy can be increased as a result. Individual local roundness errors are leveled out as a result.
  • the air measuring nozzles can be arranged in one plane, ie at the same axial height. Air measuring nozzles can be provided at different axial positions. All arranged measuring nozzles can be fed to a joint evaluation, which results in a measured value. The pneumatic signal can therefore be averaged before it is converted into an electrical signal.
  • the wiring and/or the signal converter can be designed accordingly for this purpose.
  • the measurements of individual measuring nozzles can also be evaluated separately from each other. If the measurements of individual measuring nozzles or measuring nozzle pairs are carried out separately evaluated from each other, diameter dimensions are available at different locations of the bore at the same time.
  • Honing stones of the honing elements can have an extension in the axial direction that is less than a machining radius of the honing tool.
  • the axial extent can be less than 70%, in particular 50%, in particular 33% of the machining radius of the honing tool.
  • the machining radius of the honing tool means the radius of the honing stones in the maximum state in which they are fed radially outwards.
  • the honing stones can have a minimum length of 10mm, in particular 12mm, in particular 15mm.
  • a minimum length leads to a minimum service life, with the specified length specification enabling large-scale use of the device or application of the method.
  • a strain length can be defined as the length along the axial extent beginning at the start of diameter expansion and ending at the end of diameter reduction.
  • the honing stones used or the area fitted with cutting lining
  • the honing stones used preferably have a length (axial extension) of at most 70% of the deformation length, in particular 60%, in particular 50%, in particular 40% of the deformation length.
  • a widening length can be defined as the length along the axial extent that begins at the beginning of the diameter expansion and at the end of the diameter expansion or the end of the bore ends.
  • the honing stones used, or the area of the honing elements equipped with a cutting layer preferably has a length (axial extent) of at most 70% of the expansion length, in particular 60%, in particular 50%, in particular 40% of the expansion length. It can also be provided that honing is carried out with an overflow, that is, that the honing stones move out of the opening at the end of the diameter enlargement.
  • the overflow can be between 10% and 90% of the length of the honing stones.
  • a bottle belly length as the sum of the length of the second larger constant diameter section and the length of the transition section.
  • the honing stones used, or the area of the honing elements equipped with a cutting layer preferably has a length (axial Extension) of at most 90% of the length of the bottle belly, in particular 80%, in particular 60%, in particular 50% of the length of the bottle belly. It can also be provided that honing is carried out with an overflow, that is, that the honing stones move out of the opening at the end of the diameter enlargement. The overflow can be between 10% and 90% of the length of the honing stones.
  • the delivery system may include an electromechanical motor.
  • the electromechanical motor can be coupled via a slot in the spindle to an infeed rod of an infeed system of the honing device running in the spindle.
  • the feed system can provide, for example, that the electromechanical motor can rotate a threaded worm, which engages with a corresponding threaded counterpart.
  • the threaded counter-piece can, for example, be coupled to the feed rod so that it can move in the axial direction, but can be rotated relative to it via a corresponding bearing.
  • the delivery system is coupled to the signal converter, for example via a control unit.
  • the delivery system can vary the delivery force of the honing elements depending on the measurement signals with high delivery dynamics.
  • the individual honing elements can be unconnected to one another, ie they can be moved individually. It can be provided that all honing elements of the honing tool can be radially advanced by means of a common infeed cone. One honing stone can be present for each honing element. It can also be provided that a honing element comprises several honing stones.
  • this is converted from an initial shape into a target shape by a shaping honing machining step.
  • the initial shape and the target shape differ in their shape in such a way that at least 2 locations of the workpiece opening have a different diameter difference between the initial shape and the target shape.
  • Shaping honing to change the workpiece opening from the initial shape to the target shape is performed using a honing apparatus as described in this application.
  • the honing elements for generating the different diameter differences are infed with locally different force against the opening wall to be machined. The honing elements are thus pressed against the opening wall with different forces at different axial positions. The infeed force thus varies over the lifting or lowering movement of the honing tool.
  • measuring signals are recorded by the measuring device, which characterize the local diameter of the workpiece opening.
  • the force with which the honing elements are fed against the opening wall to be machined is adjusted during the honing process as a function of the measurement signals recorded during the honing process.
  • the force with which the honing elements are fed against the opening wall to be machined the infeed force, i.e. varies depending on the measurement signals.
  • the infeed force is not only varied in a predetermined manner depending on the axial position of the honing tool in the workpiece opening, but also the measurement signals recorded during the honing process are taken into account when determining the infeed force to be used in each case.
  • the infeed force can be kept constant at a given axial position over the duration of the machining. however, it is also possible for the infeed force to vary over time at a particular axial position. Typically, the infeed force is reduced at a respective axial position in order to achieve less material removal when approaching the target shape and thus approach the target shape more precisely.
  • the local infeed force can therefore be determined and set based on the current position of the honing tool, the target shape and the measurement signals recorded in each case.
  • the measurement signals characterize the current state or diameter of the workpiece opening.
  • Conventional honing methods used either a previously determined shape of the opening or an assumption about the shape and based on this determined a sequence of honing.
  • the infeed force can dynamically increase based on the current actual shape determined in the process (characterized by the measurement signals) and the immediate comparison with the target shape be adjusted to the removal that is still required locally to achieve the target shape.
  • the initial shape of the workpiece opening can be recorded or checked by means of a measuring stroke, in which the honing elements have no material-removing contact with the bore wall, which is carried out with the honing tool of the honing device.
  • a separate measuring stroke can be carried out with increased accuracy. By using the honing tool itself, this can be done in a time-saving and efficient manner.
  • the measuring stroke can be carried out rotating (with a rotating honing tool).
  • a rotating measuring hub can provide more accurate measurements.
  • the measuring stroke can be carried out at rotational speeds of more than 200 rpm. Any circumferential dimensional fluctuation can be mediated or averaged out in this way.
  • the shape of the workpiece opening can be recorded or checked by means of a measuring stroke, in which the honing elements have no material-removing contact with the bore wall, which is carried out with the honing tool of the honing device. A comparison can be made with the desired target shape.
  • the shaping honing can include a honing step with a changing stroke length, wherein a honing step with a contact pressure of the honing elements that varies over the length of the opening on the honing step with a changing stroke length Stroke length follows in time.
  • the infeed force can be kept constant or additionally varied over the length machined per stroke.
  • An initial pre-processing can be done by processing with a changing stroke length and the final shaping by processing with a contact pressure that varies over the opening length. Machining with a changing stroke length can therefore be part of the shaping machining.
  • the target shape can comprise at least one area along a machined length of the workpiece opening, which has a larger or smaller diameter than an area in front of and behind in the axial direction.
  • the target shape can therefore be bulbous, for example.
