Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a multi-station machine tool, in particular to a tool setting method for the multi-station machine tool. Background Art

[0002] The radome is a shell or cover used to protect and isolate the antenna. It is mainly used to protect the antenna inside the antenna system from the harsh external environment and reduce electromagnetic interference with the surrounding environment. It is currently widely used in various guidance and radar systems. The radome not only plays a role in protecting the antenna, but also has good wave transmission performance. The thickness of the cover wall is an important factor affecting its electrical performance parameters. In addition, the outer contour of the radome has a great influence on the stability and aiming accuracy of some guidance systems. Therefore, in order to make the wall thickness and outer contour shape of the radome meet its use requirements, it is necessary to achieve high-precision processing of the outer contour surface of the radome.

[0003] At present, the processing and measurement of the radome are usually carried out separately in the factory. The surface of the radome is ground on a machine tool. After processing, the radome is disassembled and placed on a dedicated large-scale measuring equipment such as a three-coordinate machine for measurement to detect whether its size meets the requirements. If it does not meet the requirements, the radome needs to be re-clamped on the machine tool for processing, and this process is repeated until the parameters such as the size and electrical performance of the radome meet the requirements. However, this processing method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and will cause large processing and measurement errors due to repeated clamping. At present, with the continuous improvement of the processing accuracy requirements of the radome, it is necessary to use equipment that can integrate measurement and processing, so that the radome can be measured and ground on the machine without repeated clamping. In order to realize the integration of high-precision measurement and processing of equipment, high-precision tool setting is particularly important.

[0004] Due to factors such as the outer profile shape and size of the special-shaped antenna cover, the X-axis of the machine tool has a minimum travel range of 500mm. If a common flat bed structure is adopted, the overall size of the machine tool will become larger, and the production cost of the machine tool itself will also increase. Therefore, in order to reduce costs and make the X-axis travel of the machine tool meet the requirements, the machine tool structure adopts an inclined bed type. However, due to the inclination of the bed, compared with traditional horizontal bed machine tools, when positioning the tool, the operator needs to pay more attention to the relative position relationship between the tool and the workpiece to ensure the processing accuracy. In addition, there is little research on tool setting methods for inclined bed machine tools with measuring modules, and it is necessary to explore tool setting methods for inclined bed multi-station machine tools.

[0005] The existing method needs to determine the accurate coordinate values ​​of the tool setting points of the measurement module and the processing module in the machine tool during tool setting, so that it can achieve high-precision matching between the measurement point and the processing point. Currently, this integrated measurement and processing tool setting method is usually implemented manually. For the tool setting of the measurement module, its accuracy depends largely on the accuracy of the sensor; however, for the tool setting of the processing module, the worker's operation is the main factor affecting its accuracy. Therefore, the worker's own experience and level will have a greater impact on the entire processing, and it is easy to have large human errors, which will make the final processing accuracy unable to be effectively guaranteed.
