AI Technical Summary
In the grinding production of indexable inserts, when the polygonal indexable insert blank is clamped and loaded, the tool geometric center does not coincide with the phase origin of the machine tool spindle, resulting in phase errors, affecting machining accuracy and efficiency.
By clamping the triangular indexable blade blank on the peripheral edge grinding CNC machine tool workpiece fixture, the angle between the clamping triangle center line with no eccentricity error and phase error in the ideal state and the actual clamping triangle center line is the phase error, which is then measured and eliminated by the machine tool.
The processing accuracy of the blade is improved. The experimental results show that after using this method to eliminate phase error, the deviation is within ±4, and the method has high efficiency, high accuracy and wide applicability.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for measuring the clamping phase error of a triangular indexable insert, belonging to the technical field of machine tool insert processing. Background Art
[0002] In the grinding production of indexable inserts, auxiliary tooling is usually used to control the longitudinal axis phase error when clamping and loading the polygonal indexable insert blank. In actual clamping, the geometric center of the tool and the phase origin of the machine tool spindle do not coincide, forming a phase error, resulting in incomplete machining of the part and incorrect dimensions. However, the eccentricity of the tool cannot be directly measured by tools, and only the position of the auxiliary tooling bracket can be repeatedly tested during machining to reduce the phase error of the insert. This method leads to low processing efficiency and takes a long time to calculate the phase error of the tool by reverse calculation based on the dimensional deviation of the part. Especially in the process of small-batch flexible production, that is, the production of multiple types of small-batch inserts, it is often necessary to frequently replace and adjust the insert bracket to ensure the phase error of the insert. For some special-shaped inserts with holes, it is time-consuming and laborious to use the bracket for phase adjustment. There are problems such as low efficiency and unreliable adjustment. In order to ensure the accuracy of the finished product, it is urgent to measure the phase error of the insert. Summary of the Invention
