As shown in
On the other hand, the processing module T (for example, a turning processing tool) capable of controlling a processing depth is mounted at one side of the work piece S.
However, in the conventional turning machining apparatus, a relative displacement may be generated during the processing due to an offset error (Ex, Ey) between the slide surface B-S and a rotation center C of the work piece. This is because the work piece is slightly moved during the processing in an arrow (V) direction shown on the work piece S of
In other words, in a machining apparatus requiring high accuracy processing, the offset error generated in the processing acts as a main cause of deteriorating the processing accuracy such that it is necessary to be improved.
The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the invention and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known in this country to a person of ordinary skill in the art.
The present invention provides a convergence machining apparatus based on turning that prevents an offset error in a process due to a relative displacement between a work piece and a tool installed to a reciprocal carriage by positioning a rotation center of the work piece installed to a headstock and a footstock and a slide surface of first and second beds mounted with a reciprocal carriage, the headstock, and the footstock on the same virtual line when viewed from a direction parallel with a rotation axis of the work piece. The reciprocal carriage may be supported by the first and second beds to be positioned outside a width region of the headstock and the footstock and may include first and second main reciprocal carriages.

The assistance reciprocal carriage may include a plurality of processing modules having a front end installed to be toward the rotation center of the work piece and performing different processes from each other.
A plurality of processing modules may include at least two of a milling processing module installed to be transferred toward the rotation center of the work piece and performing milling processing, a laser processing module performing laser processing, and a grinding processing module performing grinding processing.
The headstock may include a headstock holder enclosing a headstock periphery, and the footstock may include a footstock holder enclosing a footstock periphery.
The first and second beds may include a fluid circulation part in which a fluid exhausted from a hydrostatic bearing is circulated.

Hereinafter, a convergence machining apparatus based on turning according to a preferable exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to accompanying drawings.
Referring to
The rotation center C of the work piece S may be a point at which a cross-section that is cut in a plane perpendicular to a rotation axis of the work piece S and the rotation axis meet each other. The virtual plane surface may be a plane surface formed by the rotation axis and the virtual straight line L1. Also, the slide surface B-S of the bed B is a surface on which the reciprocal carriage R is mounted while the processing module T is supported and transferred, and may be a surface supporting the headstock and footstock thereby supporting the work piece S. Accordingly, based on Abbe's principle, dynamic, static, and thermal stability may be obtained, thereby reducing a processing error. Accordingly, generation of an offset error may be prevented in processing according to a position deviation therebetween
In the conventional art, as shown in
Accordingly, in the present exemplary embodiment, as shown in

As described above, the convergence machining apparatus based on turning 100 of the present invention based on the offset error preventing structure, as shown in
As shown in
Here, the first and second beds 211 and 212 may be formed with the same size and weight, and the first and second beds 211 and 212 may each include a reinforcement member having the same shape, size, and weight for increasing strength thereof. Accordingly, the beds 211 and 212 have identical structural vibration characteristics.
Also, the first and second beds 211 and 212 may each have width direction cross-sections forming an isosceles triangle shape for structural stability. The isosceles triangle shape may maintain the stability against a load respectively acting on the beds 211 and 212 such that straightness may be maintained.
The bed 200 may include a rail base 220 disposed thereon. The rail base 220 consists of a first rail base 221 and a second rail base 222 respectively disposed on the first bed 211 and the second bed 212.
Mounting parts 221a and 222a are mounted in the width direction ends of the headstock 300 and footstock 400 at one side (a portion close to the work piece) of each upper surface of the first and second rail bases 221 and 222.
For the first and second rail bases 221 and 222, receiving parts 221b and 222b receiving a hydrostatic bearing b that will be described later are formed along a length direction of each rail base.
Inside the bottom of the receiving parts 221b and 222b, fluid circulation parts 221d and 222d introduced with a fluid exhausted from the hydrostatic bearing while being communicated through communication parts 221c and 222c of the length direction both ends of the receiving part are formed along the length direction of the rail base.
Accordingly, as the fluid of which the temperature is increased by movement heat of the hydrostatic bearing b is circulated into the fluid circulation parts 221d and 222d through the receiving parts 221b and 222b and the communication parts 221c and 222c, thermal equilibrium of which a temperature difference is small is formed in an inner and outer structure of each rail base 221 and 222 such that thermal deformation of the rail base is prevented according to a reduction of a temperature deviation of each part of the rail base.
Here, the first bed 211 and the first rail base 221, and the second bed 212 and the second rail base 222, may be formed of an integral metal casting body to uniformly maintain specific gravity.
The bed 200 may include a guide rail 230 installed at the upper surface on which the mounting parts 221a and 222a of the first and second rail bases 221 and 222 are not formed.
Bottom surfaces of first and second main reciprocal carriages 510 and 520 that will be described later are mounted to slide at the guide rail 230 of each rail base. Here, the bottom surface of the guide rail 230 is the sliding surface s on which the first and second main reciprocal carriages 510 and 520 are guided, as described above, and the center of the hydrostatic bearing b positioned under the sliding surface and the rotation center C of the work piece 1 are disposed on the same horizontal line when viewed from a direction parallel with the rotation axis of the work piece 1.
The guide rail 230 has a main role of guiding the first and second main reciprocal carriages 510 and 520, however they together have a cap role of preventing the fluid that is ejected upward from the hydrostatic bearing b received by the receiving part 221b and 222b of the rail bases 221 and 222 from being leaked to the outside.
Again referring to
The headstock 300 has a circumferential surface enclosed by a headstock holder 310, and both ends of the width direction of the headstock holder 310 have a hooking jaw 311 that is mounted at one end of the mounting parts 221a and 222a of the first and second rail bases 221 and 222.
Also, the headstock holder 310 has a reinforcing member structure of a heat dissipating fin shape, thereby improving cooling performance.
Referring to
The footstock 400 has a circumferential surface enclosed by the footstock holder 410, and both ends in the width direction of the footstock holder 410 have a hooking jaw 411 that is mounted to the other end of the mounting parts 221a and 222a of the first and second rail bases 221 and 222.
Here, the footstock holder 410 is coupled to a screw shaft 421 rotated by a driving motor 420, thereby being transferred linearly according to rotation of the screw shaft 421 (referring to
Also, the footstock holder 410 has a reinforcing member structure of the heat dissipating fin shape, thereby improving cooling performance, like the headstock holder.
Referring to
The reciprocal carriage 500 includes first and second main reciprocal carriages 510 and 520 and an assistance reciprocal carriage 530.
While the first and second main reciprocal carriages 510 and 520 are disposed outside a width region ba of the headstock 300 and the footstock 400, they are supported by the first and second beds 211 and 212.
At this time, since the first and second main reciprocal carriages 510 and 520 are installed on the guide rail 230 disposed at a position where the mounting parts 221a and 222a of the first and second rail bases 221 and 222 to which the headstock 300 and the footstock 400 are mounted are not formed, they may be freely moved on an entire area of the guide rail 230 without interference with the headstock 300 and the footstock 400.
Accordingly, as shown in
Again referring to
In further details, while the hydrostatic bearing b is fixed to the bottom surface of the first and second main reciprocal carriages 510 and 520, the hydrostatic bearing b is respectively implemented to the receiving part 221b and 222b of the first and second rail bases 221 and 222.
Here, the hydrostatic bearing b ejects a fluid in three directions of an upper direction, a side direction, and a lower direction such that the first and second main reciprocal carriages 510 and 520 are levitated from the bottom surface of the receiving parts 221b and 222b by an ejection force of the fluid.
A hydrostatic bearing b is described above, but other bearings capable of sliding the first and second reciprocal carriages 510 and 520 may be applied.
The linear motor M provides power to move the levitated first and second main reciprocal carriages 510 and 520 along the guide rail 230. Accordingly, the first and second main reciprocal carriages 510 and 520 are linearly moved without friction or noise.
Among the first and second lower reciprocal carriages 510 and 520, one reciprocal carriage may be mounted with a fast tool servo (FTS) processing module 511 performing FTS processing, and the other reciprocal carriage may be mounted with a turning processing module 521 performing turning processing (work of processing the work piece with a cylindrical shape or a circular conical shape).
On the other hand, when the first and second main reciprocal carriages 510 and 520 are not connected by the assistance reciprocal carriage 530, a plurality of processing modules may be installed to each main reciprocal carriage.
In addition, as shown in
Here, if the tool posts 510a and 520a are perpendicular to the work piece 1, cylinder processing of an exterior diameter is uniform, while if the tool posts 510a and 520a are oblique to the work piece 1, the exterior diameter of the work piece 1 may be tapered-processed.
Referring to
The assistance reciprocal carriage 530 has a pair of first binding parts 531 coupled to both sides of the upper surface of the first main reciprocal carriage 510 and a pair of second binding parts 532 coupled to both sides of the upper surface of the second main reciprocal carriage 520.
In addition, between the first binding parts 531 and between the second binding parts 532, a tunnel part 533 is formed to pass through and install the processing module of each lower reciprocal carriage toward the work piece.
A milling processing module 534 performing milling processing, a laser processing module 535 performing laser processing, and a grinding processing module 536 performing grinding processing may be mounted to the assistance reciprocal carriage 530.
Here, the end of the tool mounted to each processing module is installed with a radial structure toward the rotation center C of the work piece 1 for stable convergence processing, and the tool coupled to the processing module is transferred in the direction of the rotation center C of the work piece.
On the other hand, the convergence machining apparatus based on turning 100 of the present invention, as shown in
The base 600 may be formed of a granite material for thermal distortion suppression and a damping effect.
In this case, the base 600 and a bed 210 mounted to the base are fastened by a bolt, however the base 600 and the bed 210 are formed of different materials such that thermal distortion due to a thermal expansion coefficient difference may be generated.
Accordingly, by strongly fixing the base and the bed by shrinkage fitting and installing a key at an interface part of the base 600 and the bed 210, the thermal distortion may be suppressed.
Differently from this, as shown in
For example, when viewing the base 600 in the width direction, the truss structure is formed of the honeycomb structure in which both sides are symmetrical with reference of a vertical center line h, thereby both sides of the vertical center line h may have a stable structure by balancing.
The honeycomb structure, for example, the truss structure of the honeycomb shape, is realized by radially and hexagonally arranging equilateral triangle members at a periphery with reference to a circular hole of a center thereof such that deformation is not easily generated against the dynamic and static load applied on the bed and the stable state may be maintained.
In a case of an exemplary embodiment shown in
Here, the inclination angle θ is preferably in a range of 0<θ<90.

In a case of
This is a relative merit of easily viewing the work space compared with the previous exemplary embodiment.
Meanwhile, the reference numerals of the drawings according to the second exemplary embodiment are the same as those according to the first exemplary embodiment such that the additional description is omitted.
Resultantly, the present invention positions the rotation center C of the work piece 1 fixed to the headstock 300 and the footstock 400 and the slide surface of the first and second beds 211 and 212 mounted with the reciprocal carriage 500, the headstock 300, and the footstock 400 on the same virtual line when viewed from a direction parallel with a rotation axis of the work piece, thereby preventing the offset error.
In addition, through the structure improvement of the reciprocal carriage 500, the movement may be realized on the entire area of the length direction of the guide rail without the collision with the headstock 300 and the footstock 400 such that the loading and the unloading of the work piece 1 may be easily performed as another characteristic.
It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but the scope of the present invention will be represented by the appended claims rather than the above-described detailed description. In addition, it is to be interpreted that all of the changes and modifications drawn from the meaning and range of the claims and equivalent arrangements are included within the spirit and scope of the present invention.
