Definitions
- This invention relates to a double-rotatable spindle head for machine tools.
- Double-rotatable heads for machine tools are known for machining three-dimensional surfaces, in particular for preparing light alloy moulds and models. They generally comprise two parts or half-heads, one of which (the first half-head) is able to rotate with respect to the machine structure about an axis, the other (second half-head) being able to rotate with respect to the first about a second axis at an angle to the preceding. Coordinated rotation of the two half-heads, generally by electric motors via a gear transmission system, enables the tool axis to be orientated in the desired direction in space.
- the first half-head is of fork shape with its axis of rotation (first axis) perpendicular to the transverse arm thereof, and the second half-head, which supports the tool spindle, is hinged to the two parallel arms of the first half-head about an axis (second axis) parallel to the transverse arm thereof.
- This known type of double-rotatable head in which rotating the second half-head with respect to the first half-head about the second axis results in movement of the tool axis in a vertical plane, with a range which can even reach + 110°, i.e. suitable for machining undercuts, presents a serious limitation related to the fork shape of the first half-head.
- the first half-head is of substantially cylindrical shape with its axis coinciding with the first axis, the second half-head being positioned to the side of the first half-head, with the second axis perpendicularly cutting the first axis.
- rotating the second half-head with respect to the first half-head about the second axis causes the tool axis to again move in a vertical plane but practically without any limitation.
- the second half-head is coupled to the first half-head on a flat surface inclined at 45° to the first axis, the second axis being perpendicular to said flat surface.
- the tool axis By rotating the second half-head with respect to the first half-head about the second axis, the tool axis describes a conical surface having an angle of 90° at its vertex, and can pass in particular from the vertical position, parallel to the first axis, to the horizontal position.
- An object of the invention is to eliminate all the drawbacks jointly or separately encountered in known double-rotatable heads for machine tools, and in particular to provide a double-rotatable head which besides being able to work in close proximity to the three-dimensional surface to be machined, can also penetrate into cavities present in the workpiece and can also machine undercuts.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a double-rotatable head practically without slack and friction, which generally exist in traditional heads and are the cause of positioning inaccuracies and the need for frequent adjustments for their reduction.
- Figure 1 is a side view of a double-rotatable head of the invention in a configuration with the tool axis parallel to the first axis;
- Figure 2 is a vertical section therethrough in the same configuration as Figure
- the double-rotatable head of the invention comprises, in traditional manner, a first half-head 2 applied to the machine tool structure (not shown) via a connection element 4, and a second half-head 6 supporting the tool spindle 8.
- the first half-head 2 can rotate with respect to the machine structure, and hence to the connection element 4 about a first axis 10 by virtue of the presence of guide bearings 12 applied to said connection element 4 and engaging a circumferential groove 14 provided in the casing of the first half-head 2.
- the first half-head 2 is rotated with respect to the connection element 4 by a direct motor, the stator 16 of which is rigid will said connection element 4 and the rotor 18 of which is rigid with said first half-head 2.
- the second half-head 6 and the first half-head 2 are coupled together on a flat surface, the representation of which in the plane of the drawing is indicated by the line 20. This surface forms an angle of 35° with the first axis 10.
- the second half-head 6 can rotate with respect to the first half-head 2 about a second axis 22, by virtue of the presence of guide bearings 24 applied to said first half-head 2 and engaging a circumferential groove 26 provided in the casing of the second half-head 6.
- the second half-head 6 is rotated with respect to the first half-head 2 by a direct motor, the stator 28 of which is rigid with said first half-head 2 and the rotor 30 of which is rigid with said second half-head 6.
- Both the direct motors i.e. that interposed between the connection element 4 and the first half-head 2 and that interposed between the first half- head 2 and the second half-head 6, can be either permanent magnet synchronous motors or induction motors.
- the angular position of the first half- head 2 to the connection element 4 and the angular position of the second half-head 6 to the first half-head 2 are controlled by respective position transducers 32, 34.
- this angle can vary from 0° to 110° and assume all intermediate values between these two end values.
- the spindle axis can be made to assume any spatial direction within a cone having a vertex angle of 220°.
- the double-rotatable head of the invention is particularly advantageous compared with traditional double- rotatable heads, and in particular:
