Description

DESCRIPTION
"Large machine tool with device for the detection and correction of deformation"
[0001] The present invention relates to a machine tool for processing mechanical parts, in particular a large machine tool, fitted with a device for the detection and correction of deformation.
[0002] It is known how a machine tool encounters multiple deformations compared to the design configuration.
[0003] Some deformation is static, in other words present in the machine even in conditions of rest, that is when the machine is cold and not working. In particular this is deformation due to the weight of the members themselves, which manifests, for example, at the exit of the' head from the carriage of a milling-boring machine.
[0004] Generally speaking, such deformation is detected during the test phase of the machine to define the experimental tables, later used by the machine for a fixed correction during processing.
[0005] Other deformations, called dynamic, are related to the functioning of the machine; these are deformations caused by the action of forces on the machine tool and thermal deformation caused by heating of the tool and of the other members of the machine.
[0006] Generally speaking dynamic deformations is overlooked .
[0007] However, market demands impose very strict limits on processing tolerances, so much as to also have to take into account the dynamic deformation of the machine tool.
[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to make a machine tool, in particular a large machine tool, fitted with a device for the detection and correction of deformation, both static and dynamic.
[0009] Such purpose is achieved by a machine tool made according to claim 1. The dependent claims describe embodiment variations.

[0024] - figure 14 shows an embodiment diagram of a drilling machine fitted with a device for the detection and correction of deformation, according to yet a further embodiment of the present invention;
[0025] According to a first embodiment of the present invention, a horizontal milling-boring machine 1 comprises a base 2, placed on a bench 3, in turn placed on a ground plane T. [0026] A vertical upright 4 extends above the base 2 along a vertical axis Y, substantially orthogonal to the ground plane T.
[0027] The machine 1 comprises a mobile group 6 supported by the upright 4; the mobile group 6 comprises a carriage 8, sliding upon command along the upright 4, thereby positioning itself at a desired position in altitude along the vertical axis Y, and a head 9 supported by the carriage 8, translating along a head axis W orthogonal to the vertical axis Y, that is substantially horizontal.
[0028] The mobile group 6 further comprises at least one mandrel 10, supported by the head 9, rotating around a working axis Z, it too substantially perpendicular to the vertical axis Y and preferably also translating along said working axis Z.
[0029] Perpendicular to the vertical axis Y and the working axis Z, a longitudinal axis X is defined.
[0030] The piece Q to be worked is positioned opposite the mandrel 10, for example positioned on a support Q' placed on the ground plane T.
[0031 ] In addition, the machine 1 comprises a correction group 20 to detect a deviation of the head from a reference condition and to correct said deviation.
[0032] In particular, the correction group 20 comprises a correction device 22 acting mechanically on the mobile group 6, in particular on the carriage 8 of this, so that, at a given position in altitude, it is mechanically influenced to modify the orientation of the working axis Z of the mandrel supported by the head 9.
[0033] For example, the correction device 22 is able to modify the orientation of the working axis Z on the plane YZ (figures 1 and 2) .
[0034] For example, the correction device 22 comprises a tie-rod 24, for example lying on the plane YZ or on a plane parallel to this, connected to a front end of the carriage 8, that is to the extremity which the head comes out of 9.
[0035] In addition, the correction device comprises pulling means 26 of the tie-rod 24, for example comprising an electric motor or hydraulic group, suitable to pull the tie-rod 24 to impose a forced rotation on the carriage 8.
[0036] In addition, the correction group 20 comprises detection devices 30 of the deviation of the head 9 from a reference condition, for example a condition of parallelism to the ground plane T which the machine is placed on, operatively, and preferably permanently, connected to the correction device 22 to activate it when needed .
[0037] According to a preferred variation, the detection means 30 are applied to the head 9 of the mobile group 6, for example to the upper surface, facing the top of the upright 4 (figure 1) .
[0038] For example, the detection means 30 comprise a sensor suitable to detect the inclination of the head, for example of its upper surface.
[0039] According to a further variation, the detection means 30 are applied to the head 9 and to the piece being worked Q, for example to its upper surface (figure 2) .
[0040] For example, the detection means 30 comprise a first sensor 30' suitable to detect the inclination of the head, for example of its upper surface, and a second sensor 30" suitable to detect the inclination of the piece Q, for example of its upper surface.
[0041 ] The two sensors 30' , 30" co-operate so that the correction device 20 operates on the basis of a comparison of the measurement taken by the first sensor 30' and that of the second sensor 30".
[0042] According to yet a further variation, the sensors 30, 30' , 30" are suitable to detect the inclination of the head on the plane YZ .
[0043] According to a further example, the correction device 22 is able to modify the orientation of the working axis Z on the plane XY, by acting on the head 9 on the plane XY (figures 3 and 4), and further sensors 32, 32', 32" are provided suitable to detect the inclination of the head on the plane XY.
[0044] Preferably, in such variations, the correction device 22 comprises means of pushing or pulling the rod 40, for example housed in the upright 4, for example operated hydraulically, engaged with at least one of its walls, suitable to influence the upright to make it perform a fixed deformation in the plane XY.
[0045] According to a further example, the correction device 22 is able to modify the orientation of the working axis Z on the plane XZ (figure 5) .
[0046] For example, the mobile group 6 comprises the carriage 8, the head 9 and the mandrel 10 and detection devices suitable for detecting the deviation of the head 9 from a reference condition in the plane XZ are provided.
[0047] For example, said detection devices comprise at least one bar 42 in material non deformable by heat, for example in INVAR®, housed in the head 9, along the working axis Z.
[0048] Preferably, the correction device 22 comprises pushing or pulling means, such as hydraulic pulling bars 50, housed in the head 9, along the working axis Z.
[0049] According to a further variation (figures 6a and 6b) , the non-deformable bars 42 and the pulling bars 50 are also used to detect and correct the deviations in the plane YZ .
[0050] According to a further embodiment of the present invention, the machine 1 is a vertical portal milling machine (figures 7 and 8) .
[0051] The machine 1 comprises two uprights 70' , 70", extending along a respective vertical axis Rl, R2, placed on respective bases 72 positioned on a bench 74 placed on the ground plane T.
[0052] The two uprights 70', 70" are distanced along a transversal axis Y and joined to each other by the mobile group 6, comprising a beam 76 which extends along said transversal axis Y.
[0053] The beam 76 is engaged with the uprights 70', 70" at the ends and is translatable along the vertical axes Rl, R2, independently at the first and at the second end.
[0054] The mobile group 6 further comprises a carriage 78 sliding along the beam 76, a head 79 supported by the carriage 78 and translatable along a head axis W and a mandrel 80, supported by the head 79, rotating around a working axis Z, substantially parallel to the vertical axes Rl, R2, and preferably translatable along said working axis Z.
[0055] The piece Q to be worked is positioned under the mandrel 80, for example on a support Q' placed on the ground plane T. [0056] In addition, the machine 1 comprises a correction group to detect a deviation of the head 79 from a reference condition and correct said deviation.

[0089] Innovatively, the machine tool according to the present invention, fitted with a correction group, makes it possible to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art, in that the detection and correction of the deviations from a reference condition, are carried out during machining, that is with the mandrel in rotation, or during brief pauses betwen one job and the next, for example while the machine is still hot.
[0090] Advantageously, the clinometer makes it possible to avail of an absolute reference given by the horizontal.
[0091] Advantageously, moreover, the clinometer is not affected by high temperatures, by the presence of dirt, shavings etc or by the presence of vibrations and occupies limited space.
[0092] It is clear that a person skilled in the art may make modifications to the machine tool and correction group described above so as to satisfy contingent requirements while remaining within the sphere of protection defined by the following claims.
