Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、円筒部材の外周面の表面を加工するための加工方法及び加工装置及びそれらにより加工された円筒部材に関するものである。
【0002】
特に、本発明は複写機、レーザビームプリンタなどの画像形成装置に用いる現像スリーブ、感光ドラムなどの円筒部材、及びその加工方法及び加工装置に関するものである。
【0003】
【従来の技術】
従来、円筒部材の外周面の切削、研削加工などの場合、円筒部材を、回転軸が設置された回転チャックに保持させ、駆動源からの回転力により回転させて、バイトなどの工具を回転表面に押し当てて加工していた。
【0004】
このような、円筒部材を保持して回転させる方式の場合、1つのワークの加工終了毎に、回転停止操作を行って、ワークの装着交換作業を行う必要があり、さらに次のワークの加工開始のために回転開始操作が必要であった。すなわち回転停止、及び回転開始のための無駄な時間が発生し、生産性が低下するという問題があった。
【0005】
この問題を解決するために、例えば、特許文献1に開示されているような方法が提案されている。
【0006】
【特許文献1】
特開平6−328303号公報
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記従来の加工方式においては、生産性向上のために加工工具の回転数、工具の送り速度を上げると、ビビリ振動の現象が生じて、加工面の精度が低下し、不良品の発生を招くことになるため、例えば特許文献1においては、防振体を水平保持されている円筒部材の内径部に挿入することで、ビビリ振動を抑制しているが、防振体の自重により水平に支持されたワークはたわみ変形を生じ、外周面加工終了後に円筒部材から防振体を抜き取った後、弾性回復により、このたわみ変形分だけワークがもとの形に戻るので、最終的な円筒部材の外周面の真直度が劣化してしまう問題点があった。
【0008】
また、円筒部材一本一本に防振体を挿入しなければならず、その脱着に時間がかかってしまうという問題点もあった。
【0009】
従って、本発明は、上述した課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、円筒部材に防振体を挿入することなくビビリ振動を抑制し、高精度な円筒部材を生産性よく製造することができる加工方法及び加工装置及びそれらにより加工された円筒部材を提供することである。
【0010】
また、本発明の他の目的は、円筒部材を垂直に支持する方法においてもビビリ振動を効果的に抑制し、円筒部材の撓み変形による真直度の劣化を防止し、高精度な円筒部材を製造することができる加工方法及び加工装置及びそれらにより加工された円筒部材を提供することである。
【0011】
また、本発明のさらに他の目的は、本発明により得られた高精度な円筒部材を画像形成装置用現像スリーブ及び感光ドラムに用いることにより、高画質な画像形成を実現することである。
【0012】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上述した課題を解決し、目的を達成するために、本発明の円筒部材の加工方法は、円筒部材の外周面を加工工具により加工するための円筒部材の加工方法であって、円筒部材の両端部を非回転状態に支持し、加工工具の近傍部かつ該加工工具と共に移動可能に、また前記円筒部材の外周面に接するようにダンパーを配置し、前記円筒部材と前記加工工具を前記円筒部材の軸線方向に沿って相対的に移動させると共に前記円筒部材の外周の回りに加工工具を回転させて円筒部材の外周面の加工を行うことを特徴とする。

【発明の実施の形態】
以下に添付の図面を参照して好適な実施形態について説明する。
【0026】
まず、本発明の加工方法によって製造する円筒部材について説明する。
【0027】
図5は、公知の押し出し、引き抜きによって製造された管材を所定の長さに切断し、切断された筒状体である円筒部材(以下、「ワーク」という。)を端面加工し、軸部を装着する工程を説明する図である。図5(a)は管材から切断後のワーク1の断面形状を示し、図5(b)はワーク1の一端1aに軸部材102を装着すると共に他端1bに内径拡大部1cを加工した状態を示す。
【0028】
内径拡大部1cは、ワーク内面の一部分を高精度で所定の内径に切削し、極めて高い真円度と真直度を有する環状部を形成したものである。ワーク1の外周面を図1に示す加工装置によって切削するに際して、ワーク内径拡大部1cの真円度、真直度を高精度に仕上げておくことにより、ワーク1の内径拡大部1cを後述する保持具により保持することで加工装置に対するワーク1のセンタリングを高精度に行うことが出来る。
【0029】
軸部材102を挿入した他端1a側も、1cと同様に軸部材102の外径、または面取り部102aを高精度に切削しておく必要がある。軸部材側も後述する保持具により保持することで加工装置に対するワーク1のセンタリングを高精度に行うことが出来る。
【0030】
図1は、本発明の加工装置の第1の実施形態の基本構成を示す図であり、図1(a)は加工装置の正面図、図1(b)は加工装置の側面図である。
【0031】
本実施形態では、テーパー形状の保持具によりワークを保持する場合について説明する。
【0032】
図1において、符号2は加工装置の基台であるベース、17は回転工具ユニットであり、この回転工具ユニット17には後述する加工工具が回転支持される。
【0033】
7´は接地面Eに対して鉛直方向に取り付けられた平行ガイド4、5をもつコラムである。回転工具ユニット17は平行ガイド4,5に沿って接地面Eに対して鉛直方向に移動できる。回転工具ユニット17はNC駆動モータ等の駆動装置10及び送りネジ10aにより鉛直方向に駆動される。ここでは回転工具ユニット17を鉛直方向に移動させる実施形態を示したが、ワーク1を鉛直方向に移動させて切削を行ってもよい。
【0034】
コラム7´上には図示上側にスライダ支持体8が取り付けられている。
【0035】
12は、スライダ支持体8上に取り付けられたスライダであり、スライダ12には上ポスト14が固定されている。スライダ12はスライダ支持体8に取り付けられたNC駆動モータ等の駆動装置11及び送りネジ11aによりスライダ支持体8に対して鉛直方向に駆動される。スライダ12には、このスライダ12を駆動装置11で移動させる際の動力を軽減するために、スライダ12の自重をキャンセルするためのバランサー15が連結されている。
【0036】
18はコラム7´上に取り付けられた下ポストである。20は上ポスト14に取り付けられた上ワーク保持具であり、22は下ポスト18に取り付けられた下ワーク保持具である。1は上ワーク保持具20と下ワーク保持具22によりその両端を支持される円筒部材(ワーク)である。
【0037】
ワーク1は、その上下端部にそれぞれ上ワーク保持具20のテーパー部20a、下ワーク保持具22のテーパー部22aが挿入されることにより芯出しされる。
【0038】
図3及び図4は、本発明の加工装置に用いる下ワーク保持具22及び上ワーク保持具20を示す図であり、図3は、ワーク1の内径を保持する下ワーク保持具22を示し、図4は、軸部材側を保持する上ワーク保持具20を示す。
【0039】
図3において、図3(a)は、ワーク1の内径を保持する保持具の概略図を示し、保持具22は、超合金あるいは鉄からなり、取付け部221及びテーパー部を有する取付け補助部221´より先の部分の外径が2段階になっており、外径が細い第一の外径部222aと第一の外径部より外径が太い第二の外径部222bを有し、第一の外径部の先端と第一の外径部と第二の外径部との間に、それぞれ円錐台形の大小2段階の第一のテーパー状把持部223aと第二のテーパー状把持部223bを形成している。
【0040】
図3(b)は、第一のテーパー状把持部223aに第一の内径および外径を持つワーク1を把持している状態を示した図であり、ワーク1の内径あるいは内径拡大部1cに第一のテーパー状把持部223aを挿入した時に、把持部223aのクランプ面であるテーパー面が、ワーク1の端面1dと内径拡大部1cの間の、これらが交差する周方向の稜線部である円形稜線部に当接されるように構成されている。図3(b´)には、保持具とワーク1の実際の寸法の一例を記載するとともに、ワーク1の外周を切削する際の、後述する加工工具206a、206bとその下部に設けられたダンパー29の加工送り終了位置と保持具の関係を示した。第一の外径部222aはワーク1の外径より細く設定し、後述する加工工具206a、206bの終点位置において加工工具の下部に設けたダンパー29と第二のテーパー状把持部との間隔が充分にあるように第一の外径部222aの長さを設定する。
【0041】
図3(c)は、第二のテーパー状把持部223bに第二の内径および外径を持つワーク1を把持している状態を示した図であり、ワーク1の内径あるいは内径拡大部1cに第一のテーパー状把持部223bを挿入した時に、把持部223bのクランプ面であるテーパー面が、ワーク1の端面1dと内径拡大部1cの間の、これらが交差する周方向の稜線部である円形稜線部に当接されるように構成されている。図3(c´)には、保持具とワーク1の実際の寸法の一例を記載するとともに、ワーク1の外周を切削する際の、後述する加工工具206a、206bとその下部に設けられたダンパー29の加工送り終了位置と保持具の関係を示した。第一の外径部222bはワーク1の外径より細く設定し、後述する加工工具206a、206bの終点位置において加工工具の下部に設けたダンパー29と取付け補助部221´との間隔が充分にあるように第二の外径部222bの長さを設定する。
【0042】
図4は、ワーク1の軸部材側を保持する保持具20を示し、図4(a)は、軸部材を保持する保持具の概略図を示し、保持具20は、保持具22と同様、超合金あるいは鉄からなり、長孔部201を有し、その端面部に長孔部201の内径より大きな内径拡大部201aを設け、長孔部201と内径拡大部201aの間と、内径拡大部201aと保持具の端面との間に、それぞれ円錐台形の大小2段階の第一のテーパー状把持部202aと第二のテーパー状把持部202bが構成されている。
【0043】
図4(b)〜(d)は、それぞれ異なった径を持つ軸部材を保持している状態を示した図であり、軸部材の面取り部102aに形成された円形稜線部に第一のテーパー状把持部202aあるいは第二のテーパー状把持部202bを当接し保持するように構成されている。
【0044】
ワーク1は上ワーク保持具20と下ワーク保持具22の間で軸方向の押圧力Pによって保持される。この押圧力Pは、ワーク1の回りを加工工具が旋回するときにこれらとともにワーク1が回転してしまういわゆるつれ回り現象が起こらないようにまた逆にワーク1が塑性変形してしまわないように押圧力Pの値を予め設定しておく。また、ワーク1の円筒面の切削量が大きい場合、あるいは円筒面を高速度で切削する場合には、切削力が増大するため押圧力Pを大きくする必要があるが、押圧力Pが大きくなるとワーク1の円形稜線部に塑性変形を起こして、製品としての円筒部材を他の部品に組み付ける時に著しい組付け誤差を発生する恐れがあるのでそのような場合にはワーク1の端面1dや、軸部材のクランプ部分に面取りを施しておくとよい。
【0045】
本実施形態においては、上ワーク保持具20を軸部材を保持する保持具とし、下ワーク保持具22を内径を保持する保持具としたが、ワーク1の形状によって上ワーク保持具20及び下ワーク保持具22にどちらにおいても軸部材を保持する保持具及び内径を保持する保持具どちらでも用いることが可能である。
【0046】
加工後のワークの振れや円筒度の精度や、加工後のワークの偏肉をよくするためには、所定の軸に沿って正確にワークを位置決めしなければならないが、以上述べたように、ワーク稜線部が、ワークの中心軸に対して同軸に形成されていれば、保持具のテーパー状把持部を所定の軸に対して同軸状態に配設しておけば、前記所定の軸に沿って正確にワークを位置決めすることができ、さらに保持具に複数のテーパー状把持部を設けることで、複数種類の内径あるいは外径を有するワークを保持することができるようになり、加工するワークの内径あるいは外径が変わる度にその内径あるいは外径用の保持具に交換する必要がなくなり、その際、交換の度ごとにこの保持具と加工工具回転軸との同軸度を高精度に装置に組付ける必要がなくなり、この交換作業のための段取り時間が不要となり加工時間が飛躍的に向上する。
【0047】
次に、また図1に戻って説明を続ける。回転工具ユニット17には、工具回転軸6が取付けられ、さらにその回転工具ユニット17に取り付けられた集塵カバー36を介して適当な距離を保った位置にビビリ振動を抑制するためのダンパー29が設けられている。この回転工具ユニット17とダンパー29の一実施形態を図2に示す。図2(a)は回転工具ユニット17とダンパー29の概略図、図2(b)は、A−A´断面概略図を示す。
【0048】
図2において、まず回転工具ユニット17には、工具回転軸6が取り付けられ、工具回転軸6は、外郭部としてのハウジング210と、ハウジング210内に、静圧軸受により回転自在に支持されたロータ208と、ハウジング210に一体に取り付けられたステータとしてのコイル260とマグネット262を覆うカバー264と、ロータ208も右端部に固定されたバイトホルダ266とバイトホルダ266に固定された加工工具206とから構成されている。ロータ208が回転されることにより加工工具206が回転してワーク1の外周面の切削加工を行い、回転工具ユニット17をNC駆動モータ等の駆動装置10及び送りネジ10aにより鉛直方向に駆動することによりワーク1と加工工具206が相対移動して、ワーク1の外周面を長手方向全体にわたって切削加工される。
【0049】
バイトホルダ266には、粗削りバイト206aと仕上げバイト206bとが備えられており、各バイトは取付けネジにより取り付けられている。
【0050】
回転工具ユニット17にはバイトホルダ266と加工工具206a、206bを覆うように集塵カバー36が取り付けられ、この集塵カバー36に接続された集塵機により切り屑は回収される。またその集塵カバー36の下部にビビリ振動を抑制するためのダンパー29が配置されている。
【0051】
図2には、このダンパー29の一実施形態も示され、質量体30に設けられた穴30´の中にリング状の弾性体31を収納し、ふた33をネジ33aによりねじ止めすることで弾性体31が質量体30から飛び出さずワーク1の外周全周に常に接するように質量体30に固定する。
【0052】
質量体30は質量があればどのような材質ものもでもよいが例えばBsBM(快削黄銅)や焼入れした鉄等が考えられる。
【0053】
弾性体31は、例えば図6に示すような形状を有しており、ここでは市販のパッキンやクッションシールを用いた。
【0054】
質量を有するリング状の質量体30と円筒部材の間に弾性体を配置、円筒部材から弾性体に伝わる振動を弾性体と質量体によって吸収することにより、円筒部材に発生するビビリ振動を抑制し、また硬い質量体が直接円筒部材に振れることによる傷、変形を防ぐことができる。
【0055】
さらに質量体30がワーク1の法線方向へ摩擦抵抗が少ない状態で自由に動くように質量体30の上下面に鋼球32を数個配置する。ここでは8個配置した。また配置する際、常にほぼ同じ位置に鋼球が留まっているように上下にそれぞれ鋼球の動きを制限する部材(リテーナ)34a、34bを介して配置した。これにより質量体が加工精度等の影響で一方向に片寄ってしまう事による偏心を極力防ぐことが可能になる。加工後のワーク1の振れ精度が悪くてもよい場合は、鋼球32は配置しなくともよい。その場合においてはもちろん鋼球の動きを制限する部材(リテーナ)34は不要である。さらにダンパー29を覆うようにカバー35が取り付けられている。
【0056】
以上のように構成することで、回転工具ユニット17をNC駆動モータ等の駆動装置10及び送りネジ10aにより鉛直方向に駆動することによりワーク1と加工工具206が相対移動して、ワーク1の外周面を長手方向全体にわたって切削加工される際、加工工具と常に適当な距離を保った円筒部材の外周部に、弾性体を介して質量体を配置でき、円筒部材内に防振材を挿入しなくともビビリ振動を抑制することができる。また、加工工具という外力の発生源の近傍に常にダンパーを配置することができ、さらに加工終了直前まで円筒部材に質量を作用させることができるため、円筒部材の外周加工開始時点から終了時点までビビリ振動を抑制することができる。さらにこのような構成にすることで、円筒部材内に防振材を出し入れする作業をなくすことができ、防振材脱着用の装置の必要がなく、またその作業が必要ないため省力化、および生産効率を向上させることができ、加工の自動化及び無人化が容易になる。また、円筒部材を垂直に保持した状態であっても、効果的にビビリ振動を抑制することができるようになったため、円筒部材を垂直に保持した状態であってもビビリ振動を起こすことなく円筒部材の外周を加工することが可能となり、円筒部材の撓み変形がなくなり、加工後の円筒部材の振れ精度が向上する。
【0057】
ここでは回転工具ユニット17を鉛直方向に移動させる実施形態を示したが、ワーク1を鉛直方向に移動させてワーク1と加工工具206を相対移動させた場合においても同様の効果が得られる。
【0058】
次に、ワーク1の外径切削の様子を図1〜図3を参照しながら詳細に説明する。
【0059】
あらかじめ、スライダ12を駆動するNC制御の駆動装置11には、ワーク1に対し上ワーク保持具20と下ワーク保持具22の間で軸方向の押圧力Pが発生するようにスライダ12の下端停止位置をセッティングし、回転工具ユニット17を駆動するNC制御の駆動装置10には、回転工具ユニット17の送り速度、加工送り開始位置座標、加工送り終了位置座標をセッティングしておく。
【0060】
まず、駆動装置11を駆動し送りネジ11aによりスライダ12を上端に移動させる。また、駆動装置10を駆動し送りネジ10aにより回転工具ユニット17も上方に移動させておく。この状態で下ワーク保持具22の先端部にワーク1が鉛直に供給される。ワーク1の供給方法としては作業者の手による場合、ロボットのオートハンドによる場合などがあり、量産ラインの構成によっていずれかを選択する。ワーク1を下ワーク保持具22の先端に供給した状態で、スライダ12を下降させ、上ワーク保持具20にワーク1の上端部を保持させる。この時、回転工具ユニットの工具回転軸の中空部、バイトホルダ、加工工具を挿通しながら上ワーク保持具20は予めセッティングしておいた下端停止位置まで下降し、ワーク1は上ワーク保持具20と下ワーク保持具22の間で軸方向の押圧力Pによって保持される。
【0061】
ワーク1の保持が完了した時点で、供給手段(人手またはロボットハンド)によるワーク把持を解除する。
【0062】
続いて、駆動装置10の動作により回転工具ユニット17が下方に移動を開始すると同時に工具回転軸6内のコイル260が通電されロータ208が回転することにより加工工具206a、206bが回転してワーク1の外周面が切削加工され、切削加工時発生するビビリ振動は、加工工具206の下部に配置されたダンパー29により抑制され、効率よく高精度の加工が実現する。
【0063】
加工工具ユニット17が加工送り終点位置まで到達すると駆動装置10はその駆動を停止し、同時に工具回転軸6内のコイル260の通電もストップし加工工具の回転を停止し、スライダ12がまた上端まで移動し、ワーク1の保持が解除され、加工の完了したワーク1が取り出される。
【0064】
そしてまた駆動装置10を駆動し送りネジ10aにより回転工具ユニット17も上方に移動させ、この状態で下ワーク保持具22の先端部にワーク1が鉛直に供給されまた加工を行う。
【0065】
さらに異径のワークを加工する場合は、加工を始める前にあらかじめ設定しておく条件を変更してから加工を開始する。具体的には、スライダ12を駆動するNC制御の駆動装置11には、ワーク1に対し上ワーク保持具20と下ワーク保持具22の間で軸方向の押圧力Pに発生するようにスライダ12の下端停止位置をセッティングし、回転工具ユニット17を駆動するNC制御の駆動装置10には、回転工具ユニット17の送り速度、加工送り開始位置座標、加工送り終了位置座標をセッティングする。
【0066】
そしてまた同じように駆動装置10を駆動し送りネジ10aにより回転工具ユニット17を上方に移動させ、この状態で下ワーク保持具22の先端部にワーク1が鉛直に供給され、また加工を開始する。
【0067】
次に、上記加工装置およびダンパーを用いて画像形成装置用の現像装置に用いる現像スリーブを加工した実施例について説明する。
【0068】

[0042]
FIG. 4 shows a holder 20 for holding the shaft member side of the work 1, and FIG. 4A shows a schematic diagram of a holder for holding the shaft member.

It is configured to abut and hold the toroidal grip 202a or the second tapered grip 202b.
[0044]
The work 1 is held between the upper work holder 20 and the lower work holder 22 by a pressing force P in the axial direction. This pressing force P is set so that the so-called twisting phenomenon in which the work 1 rotates together with the working tool when the work tool rotates around the work 1 does not occur, and conversely, the work 1 is not plastically deformed. The value of the pressing force P is set in advance. When the amount of cutting of the cylindrical surface of the work 1 is large, or when the cylindrical surface is cut at a high speed, the cutting force increases, so that the pressing force P needs to be increased. The circular ridge of the work 1 may be plastically deformed, causing a remarkable assembling error when assembling the cylindrical member as a product to another part. In such a case, the end face 1d of the work 1 or the shaft It is advisable to chamfer the clamp portion of the member.
[0045]
In the present embodiment, the upper work holder 20 is a holder for holding the shaft member, and the lower work holder 22 is a holder for holding the inner diameter. However, depending on the shape of the work 1, the upper work holder 20 and the lower work In both cases, it is possible to use both the holder for holding the shaft member and the holder for holding the inner diameter.
[0046]
In order to improve the runout and cylindricity of the work after processing and the unevenness of the work after processing, it is necessary to accurately position the work along a predetermined axis, but as described above, If the work ridge is formed coaxially with respect to the center axis of the work, if the tapered gripping portion of the holder is arranged coaxially with respect to a predetermined axis, the ridge along the predetermined axis The workpiece can be positioned accurately by using a plurality of tapered grips on the holder. It is not necessary to replace the holder for the inner or outer diameter every time the inner or outer diameter changes.In this case, the coaxiality between the holder and the rotating shaft of the machining tool is accurately determined every time the holder is replaced. No need to assemble This exchange set-up time is unnecessary processing time for work is dramatically improved.
[0047]
Next, returning to FIG. 1, the description will be continued. The rotary tool unit 17 has the tool rotary shaft 6 attached thereto, and a damper 29 for suppressing chatter vibration at a position at an appropriate distance via a dust collecting cover 36 attached to the rotary tool unit 17. Is provided. One embodiment of the rotary tool unit 17 and the damper 29 is shown in FIG. 2A is a schematic view of the rotary tool unit 17 and the damper 29, and FIG. 2B is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along the line AA '.
[0048]
In FIG. 2, first, a tool rotating shaft 6 is attached to a rotating tool unit 17, and the tool rotating shaft 6 is rotatably supported by a housing 210 as an outer shell and a hydrostatic bearing in the housing 210. 208, a cover 264 for covering the coil 260 as a stator and the magnet 262 integrally attached to the housing 210, and a tool holder 266 fixed to the right end of the rotor 208 and a processing tool 206 fixed to the tool holder 266. It is configured. When the rotor 208 is rotated, the processing tool 206 is rotated to cut the outer peripheral surface of the work 1, and the rotary tool unit 17 is driven in the vertical direction by the drive device 10 such as an NC drive motor and the feed screw 10 a. As a result, the workpiece 1 and the processing tool 206 relatively move, and the outer peripheral surface of the workpiece 1 is cut in the entire longitudinal direction.
[0049]
The tool holder 266 is provided with a rough cutting tool 206a and a finishing tool 206b, and each tool is mounted with a mounting screw.
[0050]
A dust collecting cover 36 is attached to the rotary tool unit 17 so as to cover the tool holder 266 and the processing tools 206a and 206b, and chips are collected by a dust collector connected to the dust collecting cover 36. Further, a damper 29 for suppressing chatter vibration is disposed below the dust collecting cover 36.
[0051]
FIG. 2 also shows an embodiment of the damper 29, in which a ring-shaped elastic body 31 is housed in a hole 30 'provided in the mass body 30, and the lid 33 is screwed with a screw 33a. The elastic body 31 is fixed to the mass body 30 so that the elastic body 31 does not protrude from the mass body 30 and always touches the entire outer periphery of the work 1.
[0052]
The mass body 30 may be made of any material as long as it has mass, but for example, BsBM (free-cutting brass), quenched iron, or the like may be used.
[0053]
The elastic body 31 has, for example, a shape as shown in FIG. 6, and here, a commercially available packing or cushion seal is used.
[0054]
An elastic body is arranged between the ring-shaped mass body 30 having mass and the cylindrical member, and vibration transmitted from the cylindrical member to the elastic body is absorbed by the elastic body and the mass body, thereby suppressing chatter vibration generated in the cylindrical member. In addition, it is possible to prevent scratches and deformation due to the hard mass directly swinging on the cylindrical member.
[0055]
Further, several steel balls 32 are arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the mass body 30 so that the mass body 30 moves freely in the normal direction of the work 1 with little frictional resistance. Here, eight are arranged. Further, at the time of disposition, they were disposed via members (retainers) 34a and 34b for restricting the movement of the steel ball up and down so that the steel ball always stayed at substantially the same position. This makes it possible to minimize eccentricity due to the mass body being offset in one direction due to the influence of processing accuracy or the like. If the run-out accuracy of the work 1 after processing may be poor, the steel balls 32 need not be arranged. In that case, of course, the member (retainer) 34 for restricting the movement of the steel ball is unnecessary. Further, a cover 35 is attached so as to cover the damper 29.
[0056]
With the above configuration, the rotary tool unit 17 is driven vertically by the driving device 10 such as an NC drive motor and the feed screw 10a, so that the workpiece 1 and the processing tool 206 relatively move, and the outer periphery of the workpiece 1 When the surface is cut in the entire longitudinal direction, a mass body can be placed via an elastic body on the outer periphery of the cylindrical member that always keeps an appropriate distance from the processing tool, and a vibration isolator is inserted into the cylindrical member. It is possible to suppress chatter vibration even without it. In addition, the damper can always be arranged near the source of external force called the machining tool, and the mass can be applied to the cylindrical member until immediately before the end of machining. Vibration can be suppressed. Further, by adopting such a configuration, it is possible to eliminate the work of taking the vibration isolator in and out of the cylindrical member, and there is no need for a device for attaching and detaching the vibration isolator. Production efficiency can be improved, and automation and unmanned processing can be easily performed. In addition, even when the cylindrical member is held vertically, chatter vibration can be effectively suppressed. Therefore, even when the cylindrical member is held vertically, chatter vibration does not occur. The outer periphery of the member can be machined, the bending deformation of the cylindrical member is eliminated, and the deflection accuracy of the machined cylindrical member is improved.
[0057]
Here, the embodiment in which the rotary tool unit 17 is moved in the vertical direction is described, but the same effect can be obtained when the work 1 is moved in the vertical direction and the work 1 and the processing tool 206 are relatively moved.
[0058]
Next, the outer diameter cutting of the work 1 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
[0059]
The NC-controlled drive unit 11 for driving the slider 12 is previously stopped at the lower end of the slider 12 so that an axial pressing force P is generated between the upper work holder 20 and the lower work holder 22 on the work 1. The NC control drive device 10 that sets the position and drives the rotary tool unit 17 is set with the feed speed, the processing feed start position coordinates, and the processing feed end position coordinates of the rotary tool unit 17.
[0060]
First, the driving device 11 is driven to move the slider 12 to the upper end by the feed screw 11a. In addition, the driving device 10 is driven, and the rotary tool unit 17 is also moved upward by the feed screw 10a. In this state, the work 1 is supplied vertically to the tip of the lower work holder 22. The method of supplying the work 1 includes a method by a worker's hand and a method by an automatic hand of a robot. With the work 1 being supplied to the tip of the lower work holder 22, the slider 12 is lowered, and the upper work holder 20 holds the upper end of the work 1. At this time, the upper work holder 20 is lowered to the preset lower end stop position while the hollow portion of the tool rotation shaft of the rotary tool unit, the tool holder, and the processing tool are inserted, and the work 1 is moved to the upper work holder 20. And the lower work holder 22 is held by the pressing force P in the axial direction.
[0061]
When the holding of the work 1 is completed, the gripping of the work by the supply means (manual or robot hand) is released.
[0062]
Subsequently, the operation of the drive device 10 causes the rotary tool unit 17 to start moving downward, and at the same time, the coil 260 in the tool rotary shaft 6 is energized to rotate the rotor 208, thereby rotating the processing tools 206a and 206b to rotate the workpiece 1 The outer peripheral surface of the cutting tool is cut, and chatter vibration generated at the time of cutting is suppressed by the damper 29 arranged below the processing tool 206, so that high-precision processing can be efficiently performed.
[0063]
When the machining tool unit 17 reaches the machining feed end point, the driving device 10 stops its driving, and at the same time, stops the energization of the coil 260 in the tool rotating shaft 6 to stop the machining tool from rotating. The work 1 is moved, the holding of the work 1 is released, and the processed work 1 is taken out.
[0064]
Then, the driving device 10 is driven to move the rotary tool unit 17 upward by the feed screw 10a. In this state, the work 1 is supplied vertically to the tip of the lower work holding tool 22 and is processed.
[0065]
Further, when processing a workpiece having a different diameter, the processing is started after changing the conditions set in advance before starting the processing. Specifically, the NC control driving device 11 that drives the slider 12 is provided with the slider 12 so that an axial pressing force P is generated between the upper work holder 20 and the lower work holder 22 with respect to the work 1. In the NC control driving device 10 for setting the lower end stop position of the rotary tool unit 17 and driving the rotary tool unit 17, the feed speed of the rotary tool unit 17, the coordinate of the processing feed start position, and the coordinate of the processing feed end position are set.
[0066]
In the same manner, the drive device 10 is driven to move the rotary tool unit 17 upward by the feed screw 10a. In this state, the work 1 is supplied vertically to the distal end of the lower work holder 22, and processing is started. .
[0067]
Next, an embodiment in which a developing sleeve used in a developing device for an image forming apparatus is processed by using the processing device and the damper will be described.
[0068]

In this case, the weight of the moving body can be reduced, and rapid acceleration and deceleration can be performed at the start of processing and at the end of processing.
[0073]
As described above, as a result of actually applying and processing the damper 29 to the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical member 1 having a material of Al, an outer diameter of 20.1 mm, an inner diameter of 18.4 mm, and a length of 364 mm, A good processed surface (a state of a stable cutting waveform) was obtained without occurrence of chattering vibration, and the surface was able to be processed to a surface roughness Ra of about 0.3 μm.
[0074]
As described above, according to the above embodiment, when the cylindrical member and the processing tool are relatively moved and the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical member is cut over the entire longitudinal direction, an appropriate distance is always maintained with the processing tool. By arranging a damper on the outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical member via an elastic body, chatter vibration can be suppressed without inserting a vibration isolating material into the cylindrical member. This eliminates the need for a device for attaching and detaching a vibration isolator, and also eliminates the need for such an operation, thereby saving labor and improving production efficiency. In addition, since chatter vibration can be suppressed even in a state where the cylindrical member is held vertically, bending deformation of the cylindrical member is eliminated, and run-out accuracy of the processed cylindrical member can be improved.
[0075]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, chatter vibration can be prevented without inserting a vibration isolator into the cylindrical member, and a highly accurate cylindrical member can be manufactured with high productivity.
[0076]
Also, in the method of vertically supporting the cylindrical member, chatter vibration can be effectively suppressed, straightness deterioration due to bending deformation of the cylindrical member can be prevented, and a highly accurate cylindrical member can be manufactured.
