CNC turning of spline shafts

Release time:2024-06-14     Number of views :


In order to ensure that the machining of the spline shaft can be completed on the precision turning machining center, a "one top, one clamp" clamping method is adopted according to its structural characteristics. The fourth axis indexing head of the precision turning machining center is added, and the keyway is milled according to certain process requirements. Due to the complexity of the entire part process, this article only elaborates on the content related to milling rectangular splines. 1,Analysis of Processing Methods

Laboratorium materia 40Cr est, et precision conversion performance bonum est. Before CNC milling, all parts of the workpiece, except for the spline part, have been cut and processed, including 2 reference holes.

When milling rectangular splines, a "one top, one clamp" position installation can be used. The CNC universal indexing head configured on the precision turning machining center can be used. When the workpiece rotates at an angle, after the position of the final mill is completed, it runs parallel to the axial direction of the workpiece once. The work piece rotates sequentially, and the end mill moves axially in sequence. After multiple cycles, a rectangular spline can be milled. In precision turning machining, macro programming and subroutine calling can be used to reduce the shortcomings of excessively long CNC Machining programs.

2,Processing process and related macro programs

To improve cutting efficiency, a large diameter milling cutter is selected as much as possible. Due to the narrow keyway, according to the size requirements of the process drawing, a solid carbide end milling cutter with a diameter of 8mm is selected.

Installatio "una summa, una clip". Install the tailstock and universal indexing head on the milling machine, and install the workpiece between the tailstock and universal indexing head.

Pro factum quod maxima profunditate contour durante militiae claviae est tantum circa 3 mm, milling potest eicere per minimum instrumentum semel ad profunditatem contour groove cum velocitate spindle 1500 r/min et tempus fertilitiae 150mm/min. Pro facto quoniam numerum primae passae per singulos vias claviae maxima est, paululum lentior potest esse; Ut altum efficabilitatem facere potest, fertilis ad alias instrumenta transire potest.

For the convenience of tool alignment and programming, the origin of the workpiece coordinate system is set at the left end axis of the workpiece spline axis shown in Figure 1. For ease of explanation, assuming that milling starts from the left side of the milling keyway and continues until the right side of the milling keyway, the workpiece rotates counterclockwise by indexing. The entire milling process of a keyway is divided into the following stages:

(1) Left side of milling key Kai

Posicio initio quando later sinistra claviae militant, ubi later sinistra claviae in positio verticale est, sicut in Figura 4 monstrata est. Coordinatus positio instrumenti Z=2l * arccosl1=20.616 est; Y=8/2+8/2=8。 Milling the entire spline along the X-axis with a milling cutter

(2) Rotate the bottom left corner of the keyway to the top position

Due to the use of a flat bottomed end mill, when the workpiece is turned counterclockwise from the initial position 11 to the position shown in Figure 5, if milling is required, only the lower left corner of the end mill can be used for milling. The milling amount is too small, so this process is not milling, and the workpiece only rotates in place. At this point, the coordinate value of the cutting point is Z=21; Y=4。

(3) Slot bottom milling process

Due to the use of a flat bottomed end mill, when the workpiece continues to rotate counterclockwise from position 5 to position 6, the milling position of the end mill gradually transitions from the bottom left corner of the tool to the middle position at the bottom of the tool shown in Figure 6 for milling.

To avoid interference between the tool and the workpiece, the tool position must change as the workpiece rotates. Valor Z-coordinatus puncti secessionis 21mm est; Valor Y variat cum rotacio partis laboris. Mugite a Y=4 a Y=-4.

When the workpiece continues to rotate against the clock a position 6 to the bottom right corner of the keyway in Figure 7, which is directly above it, the milling position of the end mill gradually transitions from the middle position at the bottom to the bottom right corner position shown in Figure 7 for milling. At this point, the coordinate value of the cutting point Z=2I; Y= 4。

The entire process involves turning the workpiece through 23. In each small angle, the milling cutter mills the entire bottom of the spline groove along the X-axis.

(4) Turn the empty side of the keyway to the vertical position

During the process of turning the workpiece counterclockwise from position 7 to the position shown in Figure 8, if milling is required, only the side edge at the bottom right corner of the mill end needs to be slightly milled. The milling amount is too small, so this process is not milled, and the workpiece only rotates in place.

(5) Solving the right side of the keyway, and finally milling the right side of the keyway. In this time, the right side of the keyway is in a vertical position, and the coordinate of the tool position is Z=21arccos11=20.616; Y=-8.

The milling cutter cuts the entire right side of the spline groove along the X-axis direction.

During the entire machining process from Figure 4 to Figure 8, except for the groove bottom milling process, all other stages can be completed with a simple GO1 command. So the following will only provide some explanations for the macro program of slot bottom milling.

In processo subter pulchritudinis pulchritudinis, assumptione quod tantum pulchritudinis in circuitu rotatur, rotatio tota universae pulchritudinis pulchritudinis basis solum 2 est, et universa pulchritudinis in directo Y 8 est. Pro hoc, relatio proxima inter angulum rotation is θ et displacio Y accipit
