Definitions

  • a cutting device for an ultrasonic vibration system comprises an elongated tool having a cutting .edge formed on the front end thereof, and a torsional transducer attached to the tool body at a nodal point of vibration thereof, as well as, if necessary, an amplifier horn is positioned between the tool body and transducer, so that the torsional transducer serves to apply an elastic vibration to the tool body.
  • the present invention relates to a cutting device for an ultrasonic vibration system mainly used in a lathe and having a cutting tool elastically vibrated in a cutting direction.
  • FIG. 1 indicates an ultrasonic vibrator for a prior-art cutting device operative with bending vibration as one of several systems using longitudinal vibration, torsional vibration or bending vibration.
  • a longitudinal vibration generated by means of a transducer 12 is amplified by a horn 13 and applied to a point located at the center of a vibration wave defined for a cutting tool body 11 as shown in FIG. 1, and at which the horn 13 is coupled to the tool body 11.
  • the tool body 11 is supported by setting pins attached thereto at two nodal points of vibration and undergoes transverse vibration on a neutral plane 17 on which are positioned the nodal points of vibration, so as to vibrate a chip in a cutting direction as the cutting edge of said chip 15, which is attached to the front end of the tool body 11, engages the surface of a workpiece l6 rotated.
  • An object of this invention is to provide a cutting device using an ultrasonic vibration system for an automatic lathe as mentioned above, even if the cutting device only has a slight space between tool bodies.
  • the cutting device of this invention is provided with a torsional transducer attached to the side of a tool body, preferably via an amplifier horn, so that the torsonal transducer serves to apply a transverse vibration to the tool body.
  • the torsional transducer relative to this invention can be adapted to the automatic lathe as indicated by reference numbers 26 to 30 in FIG. 2 wherein the transducers 26 to 30 are attached to the tool bodies 21 to 25 in a manner so as extended in a direction perpendicular to a plane of the paper.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of a cutting device according to the prior technique
  • FIG. 2 is a front view of an automatic lathe using an ultrasonic vibration system according to this invention
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a cutting device of an ultrasonic vibration system embodying this invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a side view of the cutting device of FIG. 3;
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 are exaggerated side views of the prior cutting device wherein the action of the tool and workpiece is more clearly illustrated.
  • the cutting device illustrated in FIGS. 2 to 4 comprises a tool 31 having a bar-shaped body 31a and a chip 35 mounted on the front end of the tool body 31a, and a torsional transducer 32 of convenient type which comprises a cylindrical ferrite core, a coil 40 attached to the core, and a ferrite pole 41 inserted through the assembly of the core and coil.
  • the cutting device preferably involves an amplifier horn 33 connected with the ferrite core and attached to the side of the tool body 31a by soldering or means of threaded screws. The attaching position of the horn 33 to the tool body should be a nodal point of vibration of the tool body.
  • the transducer 32 is here connected through the horn with the tool body, it may be connected directly with the tool body at a nodal point of vibration.
  • the cutting tool 31 has two set pins 34 in order to set the tool body 31a to a tool holder (not shown).
  • the set pins 34 are attached to the tool body 31a at the nodal points of vibration of the tool body.
  • the pins may be fixed to the side of the tool body, although we prefer to pivot the tool body with the pin end rotatably inserted into a journal bore formed in the tool body side and if necessary, to lubricate it by a graphite or molybdenum disulfide.
  • the turning center of a workpiece 36 preferably agrees with and is aligned with or lies in a neutral plane 37 of the nodal points of vibration and the cutting edge of the chip 35.
  • the chip 15 of the prior cutting tool as shown in FIG. 1 is attached to the front end of the tool body with its cutting edge parallel to a central plane 17 apparently defined to the middle portion of the tool width and deviating slightly from a true neutral plane 17'. Accordingly, the cutting edge of the prior cutting tool is vibrated with an error angle to a tangential direction of the rounded surface of the workpiece 16, because a quantity of the tool body is distributed asymmetrically to the central plane by the cutting chip being one-sided, whereby the cutting edge is really vibrated in a direction indicated in FIG. 5 by an arrow line 18.
  • the workpiece in order to compensate for the vibrating direction of the cutting edge, the workpiece must be adjusted to a position as indicated in FIG. 5 by a dotted line 16', or the tool body must be inclined as illustrated in FIG. 6 so as to align the vibrating direction of the tool with the tangential direction of the workpiece. Nevertheless, such compensation is unsighted and very difficult to perform.
  • the cutting tool of this invention has a cutting edge effectively vibrated for an elongated amplitude as illustrated in FIG. 4 by a reference number 39, because the front end portion 38 of the tool body is made in a thickness thiner than that of the other portion of the tool body.
  • the top end portion 38 may be made with a width narrower than that of the other portion of the tool body.
  • the vibration of the cutting edge is generally damped due to the cavitation generated as cutting oil supplied to the cutting edge avoidably flows to the supported portion of the tool body (cavitation in this case means that the vibration of the solid member is clamped by liquid vaporized in expansion as the liquid material is brought into contact with the solid member under ultrasonic vibration so as to produce the vacuum space between both materials).
  • the cutting tool of this invention as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 conveniently includes a stepped form which prevents the flowing of the cutting oil toward the based portion of the tool body, so that the effective vibration of the cutting edge is maintained.
  • This invention also contemplates the use of a plurality of torsional transducers which, though not shown in the drawing, are attached to the tool body at nodal points of vibration, if necessary, via a plurality of horns.
  • a cutting device in an ultrasonic vibration system comprising:
  • an elongated tool body having a symmetry plane through the center of said body; means forming a cutting edge at a front end of said body substantially at said plane; means for mounting said body so that the natural transverse bending vibration mode of said body has nodal points lying in said plane whereby said plane coincides with the neutral plane of vibration of said body;
  • a torsional transducer operatively coupled to said body with its axis of torsional vibration lying in said plane and transverse to the longitudinal extension of said body at one of said nodal points;
  • an amplifier horn interposed between said body and said transducer to transmit bending vibration from said transducer to said body.
