Definitions
- the invention relates to a device and a method for clamping workpieces, in particular round workpieces, and in particular to an embossing device for preparing workpieces for clamping.
- the workpieces To machine workpieces in machine tools, especially for machining, the workpieces must be firmly clamped and held in suitable clamping positions. Even large forces acting on the workpiece during machining operations must not cause the workpiece to move in the clamping device or to come loose from it. On the other hand, the workpiece should be as easily accessible as possible in order to be able to carry out as many machining operations as possible on the workpiece in a single clamping.
- An essential element of the clamping system according to the EP 1 071 542 B1 is an embossing station used to create a series of recesses on the workpiece. These recesses must fit the clamping teeth of the vices between whose jaws the workpiece is to be clamped. These recesses must be dimensionally accurate.
- EP 2 724 817 A1 A vice with two jaws that can be adjusted towards each other and have triangular pockets for holding carbide clamping inserts.
- Each clamping insert has two rows of teeth that dig into the workpiece for clamping.
- the DE 10 2012 000 905 A1 Clamping jaws with screws inserted into them, the conical head of which has a toothed edge that is able to dig into the workpiece to be clamped.
- clamping jaws with clamping elements inserted into them, which are suitable for clamping round workpieces.
- the clamping elements have a laterally flattened head, which is provided with teeth on its flattened side.
- recesses are made into which the projections of the clamping jaws engage when the workpiece is clamped.
- the recesses are made on the workpiece in particular in a preparatory operation in which the workpiece is plastically deformed, for example by embossing.
- an embossing device is used which has at least one jaw and an abutment, the distance between which can be adjusted.
- the jaw has at least one seat for at least one insert body which has a projection with an edge directed towards the workpiece.
- the distance between the jaws and the abutment is adjusted until the insert body touches the workpiece with at least one point of the projection.
- the insert body penetrates into the workpiece with its projection by a desired amount and thus creates a recess at this point.
- the insert body forms an embossing tooth, whereby the projection provided on the insert body and the surface areas adjoining its edge are used as an embossing tooth. It has been shown that the insert body is subject to only minimal wear and has a long service life with a wide variety of materials.
- a specially shaped insert body with a projection provided on it can be used as the embossing tooth.
- the insert body can be a body provided separately for this purpose or, alternatively, an indexable insert.
- the adjustment of the distance between the jaw and the abutment is preferably force-limited and/or path-controlled. This ensures that a predetermined penetration depth of the insert body into the workpiece is achieved, provided that a maximum force is not exceeded.
- the recesses created on the workpiece have a desired uniform shape regardless of the material properties of the workpiece.
- the workpiece is then clamped in a clamping device, for example in the form of a vice with two or more movable jaws or in the form of a chuck with, for example, three or more jaws that have clamping surfaces with clamping teeth attached to them.
- the clamping teeth fit into the recesses and create a positive connection.
- the clamping surfaces are placed next to the recesses on the workpiece and additionally clamp it with friction. This ensures that the workpiece is securely stored in the clamping device while taking up little space.
- the circumference of the workpiece is largely freely accessible and can therefore be machined, for example.
- the embossing device according to the invention is defined in claim 1.
- This embossing device has at least one projection designed as an embossing tooth.
- the embossing tooth has in particular an edge and adjoining surface areas which together enclose a wedge angle. This is preferably between 45° and 90° and is preferably 60°.
- the insert bodies are preferably detachably attached to the respective seat and can therefore be replaced as required.
- the insert body has a polygonal border and has a two- or multi-fold rotational symmetry.
- the insert bodies can therefore be attached to the jaw in two or more positions. This means that the insert body can be attached to the seat in a different position after it has worn down to continue to serve as a stamping tooth.
- the projection of the insert body can have a strip-like shape and extends along a side surface of the insert body. This projection forms an embossing tooth which is designed to produce a recess of a precisely predetermined shape on the workpiece.
- the strip-like projection is preferably oriented parallel to the workpiece support surface of the jaw. This enables the workpiece to be secured particularly securely in a specially designed chuck.
- the strip-like projection preferably has a triangular cross-section. This facilitates the embossing process.
- the projection is preferably straight and borders on at least one of its two flanks on a surface that is designed as a workpiece contact surface. This determines the depth and shape of the embossed recess on the workpiece.
- the seats provided for receiving the insert bodies are designed as pockets from which the insert bodies protrude when they are arranged therein.
- the jaws preferably have a workpiece support surface which is supported by the insert bodies is projected over.
- the workpiece is placed on the workpiece support surface of each jaw, after which the embossing process is initiated and carried out by reducing the distance between the jaws.
- This configuration clearly defines the axial position of each depression created in relation to the end face of a cylindrical workpiece.
- the embossing device according to the invention is therefore robust, durable and precise.
- FIG. 1 an embossing device 10 is illustrated which serves to prepare a workpiece 11 for clamping in a chuck designed for this purpose.
- the workpiece 11 is symbolized by a ring.
- Workpieces 11 can, however, also have other shapes, in which case they only follow a cylinder at least in sections in a lower zone 12 of their peripheral surface bordering the base surface.
- the workpiece 11 can later be held in a rotating chuck, for example in order to carry out turning operations, turn-milling operations or the like.
- the embossing device 10 includes two jaws 13, 14, the distance between which can be adjusted in a controlled manner by means of an actuating device 15.
- the two cheeks point as can be seen from the Figures 2 and 3 , on their upper side in each case a workpiece support surface 16, 17, which are preferably arranged lying in a common plane.
- the jaw 14 has at least one, preferably several seats 18 to 22, which can be designed, for example, as polygonally bordered pockets.
- the jaw 13 also has several seats 23 to 27, which are preferably designed as polygonally delimited pockets, which preferably match the seats 18 to 22 in shape and size.
- Insert bodies 28, 29, 30, 31 are attached to at least one, preferably several of the seats 18 to 22; 23 to 27 of the two jaws 13, 14 and each is secured with a suitable fastening means, for example a screw.
- the insert bodies 28 to 31 serve as embossing teeth or also as abutments for the embossing tooth opposite.
- the insert bodies 28 to 31, as well as the seats 18 to 27, are designed identically to one another. Figures 4 and 5 The illustrated insert body 28 and its subsequent description are therefore representative of all insert bodies 28 to 31 used on the embossing device 10.
- the insert body 28 has, for example, a hexagonal, unequal-sided but three-fold rotationally symmetrical outline in plan view. Strip-like projections 32 to 34 are formed on the three shorter edges of this hexagonal outline, which project radially outwards and form embossed teeth.
- the insert body 28 has Figure 5 a polygonal, for example hexagonal, shaft 35, which can also have a hexagonal outline and fits into the seats 18 to 27 with little play.
- the hexagonal shaft 35 has a scalene outline with three-fold rotational symmetry.
- the shaft 35 can be inserted into the relevant pocket 19 in three positions, each rotated by 120° relative to one another.
- the strip-like projection 32 corresponds to the strip-like projections 33, 34 and has, as now Figure 5 preferably has a wedge cross-section in which two wedge surfaces 37, 38 adjoin a penetration edge 36.
- the penetration edge 36 is oriented in the circumferential direction with respect to the workpiece 11 as well as with respect to the insert body 28.
- the radius of curvature of the penetration edge 36 is preferably greater than zero, but again preferably less than one tenth of the length of the wedge surface 37, measured from the penetration edge 36 to the adjacent workpiece contact surface 39.
- the wedge angle defined by the wedge surfaces 37, 38 has an angle bisector which lies in a plane 40 which contains all the penetration edges 36 of all the strip-like projections 32 to 34 and is preferably oriented parallel to the workpiece support surface 17.
- the wedge surface 38 merges into a side surface of the insert body 28, which is offset from the workpiece contact surface 39.
- the indenter 28 can be made of powder steel, a hard metal, ceramic or another hard material.
- the embossing device 10 described so far works as follows: In preparation for the subsequent clamping of the workpiece 11, it is inserted into the embossing device 10. For this purpose, the jaws 13, 14 are first moved apart by means of the actuating device 15 so that the workpiece 11, as in Figure 1 and 2 indicated, can be placed on the workpiece support surfaces 16, 17 without touching the insert bodies 28 to 31. In the next step, the actuating device 15 is activated so that it moves the jaws 13, 14 towards one another, for example by moving the movable jaw 14 towards the fixed jaw 13. The workpiece 11 comes into contact with the strip-like projections 32 (i.e.
- the embossing teeth of the individual insert bodies 28 to 31 and centers itself automatically between them so that all four insert bodies 28 to 31 soon rest with their strip-like projections 32 on the lower zone 12 of the outer peripheral surface of the workpiece 11.
- the strip-like projections 32 then penetrate into the workpiece 11 with a constant increase in the penetration force until the penetration force increases abruptly as a result of the contact between the workpiece support surface 39 and the workpiece 11. This procedure enables a uniform embossing depth is achieved.
- the actuating device 15 is designed such that it monitors the actuating force during embossing and, if a limit value of the actuating force or a limit value of the force change is exceeded, it switches off and the jaws 13, 14 move apart again in order to release the workpiece.
- insert bodies 28 to 31 specially prepared for the embossing process were explained above using insert bodies 28 to 31 specially prepared for the embossing process.
- insert bodies 28' instead of the specially shaped insert bodies 28.
- Figure 6 shows an example in which the cutting edge of the indexable insert used as a embossing tooth is used as the penetration edge 36'.
- An embossing device 10 for preparing a mixed form-locking and friction-locking clamping of workpieces 11 in a corresponding chuck.
- the embossing device 10 has jaws 13, 14 with embossing teeth, which are formed on insert bodies 28 to 31.
- the insert bodies 28 each have a penetration edge 36 with which they penetrate into the workpiece surface in order to produce a depression with defined dimensions.
- a Workpiece contact surface 39 is formed, which stops the penetration process of the strip-like projection as soon as the workpiece contact surface 39 comes into contact with the workpiece surface during the embossing process. If the workpiece contact surface 39 hits the workpiece 11, the force required to move the jaw 14 increases steeply, from which a control device generates a switch-off signal for the actuating device 15.
- Such control or monitoring of the embossing process makes it possible to prepare workpieces 11 of different geometries and made of different materials in one embossing process for the subsequent clamping process without the embossing device 10 having to be readjusted to the geometry or the material of the workpiece 11.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zum Spannen von Werkstücken, insbesondere runden Werkstücken, und insbesondere eine Prägevorrichtung zur Vorbereitung von Werkstücken zum Spannen.The invention relates to a device and a method for clamping workpieces, in particular round workpieces, and in particular to an embossing device for preparing workpieces for clamping.
Zur Bearbeitung von Werkstücken in Werkzeugmaschinen, insbesondere zur spanenden Bearbeitung, müssen die Werkstücke auf geeigneten Spannplätzen fest aufgespannt und gehalten werden. Dabei dürfen auch größere bei Bearbeitungsvorgängen an dem Werkstück angreifende Kräfte nicht dazu führen, dass sich das Werkstück in der Spannvorrichtung bewegt oder aus dieser löst. Andererseits soll das Werkstück möglichst gut zugänglich sein, um in einer einzigen Aufspannung nacheinander möglichst viele Bearbeitungsvorgänge an dem Werkstück durchführen zu können.To machine workpieces in machine tools, especially for machining, the workpieces must be firmly clamped and held in suitable clamping positions. Even large forces acting on the workpiece during machining operations must not cause the workpiece to move in the clamping device or to come loose from it. On the other hand, the workpiece should be as easily accessible as possible in order to be able to carry out as many machining operations as possible on the workpiece in a single clamping.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Prägevorrichtung anzugeben, mit der sich bei einem großen Spektrum von aus verschiedenen Werkstoffen bestehenden Werkstücken an diesen maßhaltige Vertiefungen erzeugen lassen.It is an object of the invention to provide an embossing device with which dimensionally accurate depressions can be produced on a wide range of workpieces made of different materials.
An Werkstücken, insbesondere Werkstücken mit gewölbten Spannflächen wie beispielsweise wenigstens abschnittsweise zylindrischen Spannflächen, werden Vertiefungen angebracht, in die Vorsprünge der Spannbacken beim Spannen des Werkstücks eingreifen. Die Vertiefungen werden insbesondere in einem vorbereitenden Arbeitsgang an dem Werkstück angebracht, in welchen das Werkstück beispielsweise durch Prägen plastisch verformt wird. Dazu wird eine Prägevorrichtung genutzt, die wenigstens einen Backen und ein Widerlager aufweist, deren Abstand zueinander verstellbar ist. Der Backen weist wenigstens einen Sitz für wenigstens einen Einsatzkörper auf, der einen auf das Werkstück hin gerichteten Vorsprung mit einer Kante aufweist. Zur Durchführung eines Prägevorgangs wird der Abstand zwischen den Backen und dem Widerlager verstellt bis der Einsatzkörper mit wenigstens einer Stelle des Vorsprungs das Werkstück berührt. Durch weitere Verringerung des Abstands zwischen dem Widerlager und dem Backen dringt der Einsatzkörper mit seinem Vorsprung um ein gewünschtes Maß in das Werkstück ein und erzeugt so an dieser Stelle eine Vertiefung. Der Einsatzkörper bildet einen Prägezahn, wobei der an dem Einsatzkörper vorgesehene Vorsprung und die sich an seine Kante anschließenden Flächenbereiche als Prägezahn genutzt werden. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass der Einsatzkörper dabei lediglich einer geringen Abnutzung unterliegt und bei verschiedensten Materialien eine hohe Standzeit aufweist. Als Prägezahn kann dabei insbesondere ein speziell geformter Einsatzkörper mit daran vorgesehenem Vorsprung genutzt werden. Der Einsatzkörper kann ein gesondert für diesen Zweck bereitgestellter Körper oder ersatzweise eine Wendeschneidplatte sein.On workpieces, especially workpieces with curved clamping surfaces such as at least partially cylindrical clamping surfaces, recesses are made into which the projections of the clamping jaws engage when the workpiece is clamped. The recesses are made on the workpiece in particular in a preparatory operation in which the workpiece is plastically deformed, for example by embossing. For this purpose, an embossing device is used which has at least one jaw and an abutment, the distance between which can be adjusted. The jaw has at least one seat for at least one insert body which has a projection with an edge directed towards the workpiece. To carry out an embossing process, the distance between the jaws and the abutment is adjusted until the insert body touches the workpiece with at least one point of the projection. By further reducing the distance between the abutment and the jaw, the insert body penetrates into the workpiece with its projection by a desired amount and thus creates a recess at this point. The insert body forms an embossing tooth, whereby the projection provided on the insert body and the surface areas adjoining its edge are used as an embossing tooth. It has been shown that the insert body is subject to only minimal wear and has a long service life with a wide variety of materials. A specially shaped insert body with a projection provided on it can be used as the embossing tooth. The insert body can be a body provided separately for this purpose or, alternatively, an indexable insert.
Die Verstellung des Abstands zwischen dem Backen und dem Widerlager erfolgt vorzugsweise kraftbegrenzt und/oder weggesteuert. Damit wird sofern eine maximale Kraft nicht überschritten wird, eine vorgegebene Eindringtiefe des Einsatzkörpers in das Werkstück erreicht. Damit haben die an dem Werkstück erzeugten Vertiefungen unabhängig von Materialeigenschaften des Werkstücks eine gewünschte einheitliche Form.The adjustment of the distance between the jaw and the abutment is preferably force-limited and/or path-controlled. This ensures that a predetermined penetration depth of the insert body into the workpiece is achieved, provided that a maximum force is not exceeded. The recesses created on the workpiece have a desired uniform shape regardless of the material properties of the workpiece.
Das Spannen des Werkstücks erfolgt nachfolgend in einer Spannvorrichtung, beispielsweise in Gestalt eines Spannstocks mit zwei oder mehreren beweglichen Backen oder in Gestalt eines Spannfutters mit beispielsweise drei oder mehreren Backen, die Spannflächen mit daran angebrachten Spannzähnen aufweisen. Die Spannzähne passen in die Vertiefungen und bewirken einen Formschluss. Die Spannflächen legen sich in Nachbarschaft der Vertiefungen an das Werkstück an und spannen dieses ergänzend reibschlüssig. Es wird somit eine sichere Lagerung des Werkstücks in dem Spannmittel bei geringem Platzbedarf erreicht. Der Umfang des Werkstücks ist weitgehend frei zugänglich und kann somit zum Beispiel spanend bearbeitet werden.The workpiece is then clamped in a clamping device, for example in the form of a vice with two or more movable jaws or in the form of a chuck with, for example, three or more jaws that have clamping surfaces with clamping teeth attached to them. The clamping teeth fit into the recesses and create a positive connection. The clamping surfaces are placed next to the recesses on the workpiece and additionally clamp it with friction. This ensures that the workpiece is securely stored in the clamping device while taking up little space. The circumference of the workpiece is largely freely accessible and can therefore be machined, for example.
Die erfindungsgemäße Prägevorrichtung ist in Anspruch 1 definiert.The embossing device according to the invention is defined in claim 1.
Diese Prägevorrichtung weist mindestens einen als Prägezahn ausgebildeten Vorsprung auf. Der Prägezahn weist insbesondere eine Kante und sich anschließende Flächenbereiche auf, die miteinander einen Keilwinkel einschließen. Dieser liegt vorzugsweise zwischen 45° und 90° und beträgt vorzugsweise 60°. Die Einsatzkörper sind an dem jeweiligen Sitz vorzugsweise lösbar befestigt und können somit bedarfsweise ausgewechselt werden. Der Einsatzkörper ist polygonal umrandet und weist eine zwei- oder mehrzähligen Drehsymmetrie auf. Die Einsatzkörper können dadurch in zwei oder mehreren Stellungen an dem Backen befestigt werden. Damit kann der Einsatzkörper nach entsprechendem Verschleiß in einer anderen Position am Sitz befestigt werden, um weiter als Prägezahn zu dient.This embossing device has at least one projection designed as an embossing tooth. The embossing tooth has in particular an edge and adjoining surface areas which together enclose a wedge angle. This is preferably between 45° and 90° and is preferably 60°. The insert bodies are preferably detachably attached to the respective seat and can therefore be replaced as required. The insert body has a polygonal border and has a two- or multi-fold rotational symmetry. The insert bodies can therefore be attached to the jaw in two or more positions. This means that the insert body can be attached to the seat in a different position after it has worn down to continue to serve as a stamping tooth.
Der Vorsprung des Einsatzkörpers kann eine leistenartige Form aufweisen und sich entlang einer Seitenfläche des Einsatzkörpers erstreckt. Dieser Vorsprung bildet einen Prägezahn, der dazu eingerichtet ist, an dem Werkstück eine Vertiefung mit genau vorbestimmter Form zu erzeugen.The projection of the insert body can have a strip-like shape and extends along a side surface of the insert body. This projection forms an embossing tooth which is designed to produce a recess of a precisely predetermined shape on the workpiece.
Der leistenartige Vorsprung ist vorzugsweise parallel zu der Werkstückauflagefläche des Backens orientiert. Damit gelingt eine besonders sichere spätere Befestigung des Werkstücks in einem dazu hergerichteten Spannfutter.The strip-like projection is preferably oriented parallel to the workpiece support surface of the jaw. This enables the workpiece to be secured particularly securely in a specially designed chuck.
Der leistenartige Vorsprung weist vorzugsweise einen Dreiecksquerschnitt auf. Dies erleichtert den Prägevorgang. Der Vorsprung ist vorzugsweise gerade ausgebildet und grenzt an zumindest einer seiner beiden Flanken an eine Fläche, die als Werkstückanlagefläche ausgebildet ist. Damit werden Tiefe und Form der geprägten Vertiefung am Werkstück festgelegt.The strip-like projection preferably has a triangular cross-section. This facilitates the embossing process. The projection is preferably straight and borders on at least one of its two flanks on a surface that is designed as a workpiece contact surface. This determines the depth and shape of the embossed recess on the workpiece.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die zur Aufnahme der Einsatzkörper vorgesehenen Sitze als Taschen ausgebildet, aus denen die Einsatzkörper herausragen, wenn sie darin angeordnet sind. Die Backen weisen vorzugsweise eine Werkstückauflagefläche auf, die von den Einsatzkörpern überragt wird. Beim Prägen wird das Werkstück auf die Werkstückauflagefläche jedes Backen aufgesetzt wonach der Prägevorgang durch Verringerung des Abstands zwischen den Backen eingeleitet und durchgeführt wird. Durch diese Konfiguration ist die Axialposition jeder erzeugten Vertiefung bezogen auf die Stirnfläche eines zylindrischen Werkstücks eindeutig festgelegt. Die erfindungsgemäße Prägevorrichtung ist somit robust, dauerhaft und genau.In a preferred embodiment, the seats provided for receiving the insert bodies are designed as pockets from which the insert bodies protrude when they are arranged therein. The jaws preferably have a workpiece support surface which is supported by the insert bodies is projected over. During embossing, the workpiece is placed on the workpiece support surface of each jaw, after which the embossing process is initiated and carried out by reducing the distance between the jaws. This configuration clearly defines the axial position of each depression created in relation to the end face of a cylindrical workpiece. The embossing device according to the invention is therefore robust, durable and precise.
