Definitions

  • the subject matter of the invention is a device for generating grinding, which comprises two workpiece spindles.
  • Machines which are based on a tool exchange, to be able to provide the suitable tool in each case for machining a workpiece depending on the machining phase.
  • Such machines can have a tool revolver, for example, which is rotatable.
  • Other machines operate with workpiece axes which are arranged so they are pivotable.
  • a machine according to EP 2305409 B1 comprises two workpiece spindles, which are pivoted about a respective pivot axis for the purpose of movement from a grinding position to a loading position and vice versa.
  • Another type of machine has one grinding tool and at least two workpiece spindles, which are mounted so they are rotatable on a carrier. Depending on the rotational position of the carrier, either a first or a second workpiece can be machined using the grinding tool.
  • Such a machine is known, for example, from EP 1146983 B1.
  • Another machine has at least one tool spindle having grinding tool and two workpiece spindles, which can be moved individually toward the tool spindle for the interaction of the respective workpiece with the grinding tool.
  • each of the tool spindles is movable in a translational manner along a separate linear guide from a grinding position to a loading position and vice versa.
  • An object of the present invention is to develop a machine configuration for a grinding machine for machining gearwheels, which, with a simple technical/mechanical structure, has a reproducible high precision of the grinding machining and nonetheless a high throughput.
  • it relates to providing a grinding machine for the generating grinding of spur gears, which enables a uniform high precision of the alternating grinding machining of multiple workpieces.
  • FIG. 1 shows the elements of an exemplary grinding machine 10 , wherein in this illustration only the essential elements are identified, specifically these are the tool spindle 1 together with a grinding tool 2 , a workpiece spindle 3 having a workpiece W 1 , and a workpiece spindle 4 having a workpiece W 2 .
  • the six axes which are required for the generating grinding of the workpiece W 1 or the workpiece W 2 are shown in this illustration. Three linear axes X, Y, and Z are used here.
  • the tool spindle 1 together with the grinding tool 2 can be pivoted about a pivot axis A.
  • an axis of rotation C 1 to be able to rotationally drive the workpiece W 1
  • an axis of rotation C 2 to be able to rotationally drive the workpiece W 2 . It can be recognized on the basis of FIG. 1 that an entire array of coordinated linear, rotational, and pivot movements are required to be able to perform generating grinding of a workpiece W 1 or a workpiece W 2 using a grinding tool 2 .
  • a strong spindle drive is required for rotationally driving the grinding tool 2 about the tool axis of rotation B.
  • the motor which is used as the spindle drive is seated coaxially to the tool axis of rotation B, directly in the region of the grinding tool 2 , as shown in FIG. 1 . If one wished to arrange this motor differently, for example, an angular gear would have to be provided between the motor and the spindle axis B.
  • the occurring rolling deviations typically result in vibrations, which finally results in inaccuracies on the workpiece.
  • the structural size of the motor for rotationally driving the grinding tool 2 is accompanied by spatial restrictions, since a collision of the motor with the workpiece has to be avoided in every case. For example, if one wished to arrange the workpiece W 2 on the right adjacent to the first workpiece W 1 in the machine 10 according to FIG. 1 , as shown here solely as an example, the grinding tool 2 together with spindle 1 could hardly still be moved toward the first workpiece W 1 , without the spindle 1 colliding with the second workpiece W 2 .
  • a grinding machine which is equipped with a tool spindle for receiving and rotationally driving a grinding tool about a tool axis of rotation and with a first workpiece spindle for receiving a first workpiece and with a second workpiece spindle for receiving a second workpiece.
  • the first workpiece spindle and the second workpiece spindle are arranged on one longitudinal side of the grinding tool received on the tool spindle.
  • Both workpiece spindles are arranged parallel to one another (and vertically in relation to a machine bed).
  • the tool spindle is mounted so it is displaceable along a first linear guide, wherein this guide extends in parallel to a horizontal inclined axis.
  • the first workpiece spindle and the second workpiece spindle are spaced apart with the same perpendicular horizontal distance from this horizontal inclined axis.
  • the tool axis of rotation forms, according to certain embodiments, together with the horizontal inclined axis in a horizontal projection, an acute angle which is greater than 0°.
  • the acute angle is in the angle range between 10 and 60° in various embodiments.
  • the grinding machine In contrast to known machines, which are designed for machining two workpieces using one tool, the grinding machine according to certain embodiments has a first horizontally extending linear axis (also called the horizontal inclined axis) which is set inclined in relation to the other (horizontal) axes of the machine.
  • the two workpiece spindles are also accordingly arranged inclined.
  • the first horizontally extending linear axis and the shared perpendicular of the two workpiece spindles are parallel to one another. It is an advantage of this unusual arrangement and axis configuration that in both machining positions, the cantilever arm length, which results by way of the infeed of the tool in parallel to the infeed axis in the direction of the workpiece, is equal. It is thus ensured that the manufacturing accuracy during the machining of the two workpieces is equal.
  • this configuration may offer more space for the drive of the tool spindle.
  • a first workpiece is machined on a first workpiece spindle and subsequently another workpiece is machined on a second workpiece spindle using a single (grinding) tool.
  • a movable part of the machine together with the (grinding) tool mounted thereon executes a linear displacement, to move the (grinding) tool from a first machining position on the first workpiece into a second machining position on the second workpiece.
  • the machine may be designed in certain embodiments so that the machine can be automatically or semiautomatically charged with the workpieces.
  • the tool carries out the machining of the second workpiece.
  • the first workpiece can be removed and replaced by another workpiece (which is still to be machined).
  • the second workpiece can be removed and chucked again, while the first workpiece is machined.
  • the machine is equipped with a handling device for introducing and/or removing workpieces
  • the (grinding) tool does not have to be re-chucked.
  • the first workpiece spindle and the second workpiece spindle are designed to be stationary in relation to the grinding machine.
  • the machine may include handling means for each of the workpiece spindles, to be able to execute the corresponding handling movements in conjunction with the introduction (charging) and/or removal of the workpieces.
  • the term stationary permits only movements in or on the workpiece spindles, which are required in conjunction with the handling of the workpieces.
  • Each workpiece spindle in the scope of the handling, can chuck a workpiece (i.e., the workpiece spindle can open and close) and it can rotate the tool about the workpiece axis, for example.
  • the workpiece spindles are fixed in relation to the machine bed in various embodiments, so that no displacement or shifting of the workpiece spindles in a horizontal plane is possible.
  • infeed movements are required, and to move the grinding tool into an interaction with the respective workpiece and to create the desired (tooth) geometry, engagement and machining movements are necessary.
  • These infeed, engagement, and machining movements are primarily executed by the tool and the axes which are associated with the tool, wherein the workpiece is rotationally driven about the workpiece axis of rotation.
  • the machine configuration may be suitable for the alternating continuous generating grinding of two workpieces.
  • Continuous generating grinding is a generating method, in which a worm grinding wheel is used.
  • the machine configuration may offer the possibility of achieving good accuracy in the grinding machining, since the grinding machining is performed on both workpieces using the same grinding conditions.
  • the workpieces can be ground in synchronization or counter-rotation.
  • the grinding machines can be equipped in various embodiments with digital drive technology, both for the spindles and also the linear axes. Extremely high repetitive accuracies thus result.
  • a chronologically alternating workpiece change may be performed in various embodiments.
  • the corresponding handling time is to be shorter in this case than the total time which is required for the movement of the tool from the first workpiece to the second workpiece and for machining the second workpiece.
