Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for finishing a workpiece surface with a finishing tool.
  • a hybrid technology is known from the project “Ultrasound-assisted Superfinishing of cylindrical precision components (SoFi—Sonic Finish)” wherein a conventional finishing process is combined with an ultrasound machining for precision machining a workpiece.
  • the conventional finishing process includes a rotational movement of the workpiece relative to the finishing tool and a low-frequency, oscillatory relative movement of the workpiece and finishing tool in a direction parallel to a rotation axis of the workpiece.
  • the ultrasound machining includes a radial movement of the finishing tool relative to workpiece, which oscillates at the ultrasound frequency.
  • a method for finish-machining a workpiece surface with a finishing tool includes moving the workpiece surface relative to an active area of the finishing tool in a rotation direction about a workpiece axis, and superimposing on the relative movement of the workpiece surface and the active area an additional oscillatory movement with an oscillation frequency lower than 20 kHz in a direction perpendicular to the workpiece surface.
  • the active area of the finishing tool is moved periodically in and opposite to the direction of the workpiece surface to be machined. This results in “hammering” processing of the workpiece surface and contact between the active area and the workpiece surface with alternatingly a higher pressing force and with a lower pressing force, commensurate with the oscillation frequency (wherein the active area can also “lift” off the workpiece surface.)
  • the movement of the active area of the finishing tool occurs along an additional movement axis, which is oriented perpendicular relative to the workpiece surface to be machined.
  • the oscillation frequency of the additional movement is lower than ultrasound. It is lower than 20 kHz, preferably lower than 16 kHz and in particular lower than 1 kHz.
  • the “hammering” processing of the workpiece surface is advantageous in that the active constituents of the active area, such as the cutting grains, penetrate deeper into the material of the workpiece than would otherwise be the case with conventional finish-machining. This supports the formation of chips and increases the removal rate compared to conventional finish-machining.
  • the “hammering” processing of the workpiece surface has the additional advantage that the active ingredients of the active area, i.e. the cutting grains, are briefly exposed to an increased pressure load. This supports the formation of chips and thus produces a self-sharpening effect, which in turn contributes to an increase in the material removal rate.
  • the additional movement according to the invention is also accompanied by a periodic interruption of the cut or of the chip formation and thus causes an interrupted ground structure.
  • continuous, groove-like depressions are produced, which carry away coolants or lubricants used during machining of the workpiece surface.
  • the periodic pressing contact of the active area with the workpiece surface causes an increase in the residual compressive stresses in the near-surface portions of the workpiece, so that the fatigue strength of the workpiece (for example, of a rolling bearing part or crankshaft) can be increased.
  • the increase in the residual compressive stress in the near-surface portions of the workpiece caused by the additional machining of the workpiece causes a reduction in the notch effect and a reduction in the tensile stress which occur in Hertzian pressing. This also increases the service life of the workpieces machined according to the present invention.
  • the above-mentioned interruption of the ground structure can advantageously reduce a drainage effect in a finished machined workpiece significantly. This is particularly advantageous when the workpiece is a bearing ring. Rolling of a rolling element on the bearing surface of the bearing ring then will no longer cause a lubricant to be displaced. Corresponding benefits are attained for hydrodynamic slide bearings, where a better retention of the lubricant (in particular oil) is ensured.
  • the oscillation frequency of the additional movement may be higher than about 50 Hz, for example higher than about 100 Hz.
  • an oscillation frequency range of between about 100 Hz and about 1 kHz may be employed, for example an oscillation frequency of 200 Hz. This refers particularly to the frequency of the movement of the active area of the finishing tool along the axis of the additional movement.
  • the movements in the aforementioned frequency range can be readily controlled; at the same time, the advantages described above with reference to the “hammering” processing of the workpiece surface can be achieved.
  • An amplitude of the additional movement may, for example, be only 0.1 to 5 micrometers. However, in order to achieve a significant increase of a material removal rate, it is proposed that an amplitude of the additional movement (corresponding to half the stroke of the active area) is at least about 5 micrometers. This allows, for a typical grain size of the finishing material (about 10 micrometers), the entire extent of a grain to penetrate into the material of the workpiece.
  • an amplitude of the additional movement may be, for example, 0.2 mm to several millimeters.
  • an amplitude of the additional movement may advantageously be at most about 200 micrometers (a favorable amplitude value is 50 micrometers). This can also prevent the macro geometry of the workpiece to be machined from deteriorating when using the inherently advantageous effects of the inventive method.
  • An advantageous value for the amplitude of the additional movement is 100 micrometers.
  • the workpiece surface and the active area not move relative to each other in a direction parallel to the axis of the workpiece.
  • a relative movement in a direction parallel to the workpiece axis used in a conventional finishing process is thus expressly eliminated.
  • the relative movement between the workpiece surface and the active area is then based exclusively on the rotation of the workpiece surface about the workpiece axis and on the movement of the active area of the finishing tool in a direction perpendicular to the workpiece surface.
  • a comparatively complex drive for the oscillatory movement of the finishing tool and/or of the workpiece in a direction parallel to the workpiece axis may then be omitted, while still attaining a sufficiently high material removal rate for a variety of applications.
  • the workpiece surface and the active area may move back and forth relative to each other in a direction parallel to the workpiece axis.
  • a conventional oscillatory drive is provided in this case. Such oscillatory drive is advantageous for realizing particularly high material removal rates.
  • a workpiece surface may advantageously also be initially machined using the inventive method (that is, with a rotary movement of the workpiece and with an additional movement perpendicular to the workpiece surface and possibly additionally with an oscillatory movement parallel to the workpiece axis). Subsequent to this processing operation, the workpiece can then be further processed with a conventional finishing process (i.e., with rotary movement of the workpiece and without an additional movement perpendicular to the workpiece surface and with an oscillatory movement parallel to the workpiece axis) so as to produce a particularly fine workpiece surface.
  • a conventional finishing process i.e., with rotary movement of the workpiece and without an additional movement perpendicular to the workpiece surface and with an oscillatory movement parallel to the workpiece axis
  • the oscillation frequency of the back-and-forth movement in the direction parallel to the workpiece axis direction may advantageously be at least about 1 Hz.
  • the oscillation frequency of the back-and-forth movement in the direction parallel to the workpiece axis direction may advantageously be at least about 50 Hz.
  • advantageous oscillation frequencies for a finishing tool in the form of a finishing belt may be between 1 and 21.67 Hz, for example 5 Hz.
  • Advantageous oscillation frequencies for a finishing tool in the form of a finishing stone may be between 5 and 50 Hz, preferably 33.33 Hz.
  • the oscillation frequency of the additional movement may be greater by a factor between 1 and 1000, in particular by a factor between 6 and 40, than the oscillation frequency of the back-and-forth movement in direction parallel to the workpiece axis.
  • These frequency ratios produce an optimal combination of a high material removal rate, an increase in the residual compressive stress in near-surface layers of the workpiece and a reduced drainage effect compared to a conventional cross-hatch structure.
  • an amplitude of a back-and-forth movement in the direction parallel to the workpiece axis may be between about 0.1 mm and about 3 mm.
  • Such amplitude range contributes to an increased material removal rate while maintaining a high dimensional stability of the workpiece to be machined.
  • a preferred amplitude for a finishing tool in the form of a finishing belt is 0.5 mm; for a finishing tool in the form of finishing stone at least 0.5 mm, preferably 1 mm.
  • the amplitude of the additional movement may be smaller by a factor of 5 to 600, in particular by a factor of 10 to 20, than the amplitude of the back-and-forth movement in the direction parallel to the workpiece axis.
  • the amplitude of the additional movement may be smaller by a factor of 1 to 5 than the amplitude of the back-and-forth movement in the direction parallel to the workpiece axis.
  • factors are, for example, particularly well suited when a laterally delimited workpiece surface that is only slightly wider than the finishing tool (for example the large end bearing of a crankshaft) needs to be machined.
  • even factors from 0.5 to 1 ratio of the amplitude of the additional movement to the amplitude of the back-and-forth movement in the direction parallel to the workpiece axis
  • even smaller factors may be suitable.
  • a device for finish-machining a workpiece surface includes a finishing tool having an active area, a rotary drive for generating a rotary movement of the workpiece surface relative to the active area of the finishing tool in a rotation direction about a workpiece axis, and an additional drive constructed to generate an additional oscillatory movement with an oscillation frequency lower than 20 kHz in a direction perpendicular to the workpiece surface, wherein the additional oscillatory movement is superimposed on the relative movement of the workpiece surface and the active area.
  • the device according to the invention shares the advantages described above in conjunction with the inventive method.
  • the additional drive includes a piezoelectric actuator.
  • Such an actuator is particularly suitable for generating an oscillatory movement of a working surface of a finishing tool.
  • piezoelectric actuator for example, hydraulic, pneumatic or electric drives as well as drives based on magnetostriction.
  • the piezoelectric actuator may advantageously be aligned along an additional movement axis for a simple construction, and more particularly piezoelectric elements stacked along the additional movement axis may be employed.
  • the piezoelectric actuator and finishing tool may be directly coupled with one another for movement, so that the movement of the piezoelectric actuator along the additional movement axis is identical to a movement of the active area along the additional movement axis.
  • gear devices such as levers, may be provided, which convert a movement of the piezoelectric actuator into a (preferably greater) movement of the active area of the finishing tool.
  • a drive surface of the piezoelectric actuator and the finishing tool are rigidly connected with each other.
  • the piezo actuator may have a force transmitting surface for transmitting a pressing force generated by the piezoelectric actuator to a force-receiving surface of the finishing tool.
  • This enables a “tappet-like” transmission of forces direction towards the workpiece.
  • a movement of the finishing tool in the opposite direction can, for example, be generated by an elastic return deformation of a holder of the finishing tool or by additional springs.
  • the finishing tool may be constructed as a finishing stone.
  • the finishing tool may be constructed as a finishing belt.
  • a pressing shell is preferable used to press the finishing belt against the workpiece surface, wherein the pressing shell has a pressing surface acting transversely to the running direction of the finishing belt, wherein at least a portion of the pressing surface is formed by a pressing section, which is movable relatively to a stationary shell section along an additional movement axis.
  • Such pressing shell enables defined guidance and positioning of finishing belt, and simultaneously allows a workpiece surface to be machined by “hammering” in the region of the pressing section.
  • the pressing section and the stationary shell section may be integrally formed as one piece and interconnected via a connecting section, wherein the connecting section is formed so that driving forces of the additional drive cause the pressing section to move along the additional movement axis.
  • the connecting section is formed so that driving forces of the additional drive cause the pressing section to move along the additional movement axis.
  • the surfaces of the pressing section and of the stationary shell section facing the workpiece may be produced in one operation and thus precisely geometrically matched.
  • the pressing section and the stationary shell section can be positioned relative to each other with high accuracy, since a relative movement between these sections occurs only through an (elastic) deformation of the connecting section, starting from an undeformed initial position.
  • an oscillatory drive may be provided for generating a relative back-and-forth movement of the workpiece surface and the active area in a direction parallel to the workpiece axis.
  • an oscillatory drive for generating a relative back-and-forth movement of the workpiece surface and the active area in a direction parallel to the workpiece axis is explicitly not provided.

  • the pressing elements 160 may act substantially in a direction transverse to the direction of forces 120 (see FIG. 10 ), as shown in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 16 .
  • FIGS. 17 to 19 illustrate embodiments of devices 10 for finish-machining a workpiece surface 24 , wherein an additional movement axis 32 is not perpendicular to a workpiece surface 24 , but instead parallel thereto (see FIG. 17 ), or tangentially thereto (see FIG. 18 ).
  • an additional movement of the active area 34 of the finishing tool 26 in a direction parallel to the workpiece axis 20 is superimposed on a rotational movement of a workpiece 18 about the workpiece axis 20 , as indicated in FIG. 17 by a small double-headed arrow 162 .
  • the additional movement 162 is generated, for example, by a piezoelectric actuator 38 , which imparts an additional oscillatory movement 162 on a finishing stone holder 30 and hence on a finishing stone 28 .
  • a conventional oscillatory movement generated by a conventional oscillatory drive (in indicated FIG. 17 by a larger double-headed arrow 64 ) can also be superimposed on the additional movement 162 .
  • an additional movement 162 of the active area 34 which is tangential to the workpiece surface 24 , is superimposed on the rotary movement of the workpiece surface 24 relative to the active area 34 of the finishing tool 26 .
  • an additional drive 36 in the form of a piezoelectric actuator may be provided, which drives a finishing stone holder 30 with a movement aligned with the additional movement axis 32 .
  • a conventional oscillatory movement parallel to the workpiece axis 20 may here also be optionally provided (see double-headed arrow 64 in FIG. 19 ).
  • an active component of the active area 34 of a finishing tool 26 produces a sinusoidal active line 164 extending around the workpiece axis 20 on the workpiece surface 24 , as shown in FIG. 20 .
  • the device 10 shown in FIGS. 18 and 19 is capable of producing a generally sinusoidal active line 166 , which is different from the active line 164 in that it is wavelike on a smaller scale.
  • the active line 166 is essentially composed wave segments oriented along the course of active line 164 .
  • an active line 168 different from the active line 164 can be produced, which has a coarse path similar to that of the active line 164 , but has wave segments oriented substantially perpendicular to the course of active line 164 .
