Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the manufacturing industry, specifically relating to the mechanical structure and digital control of multi-Z-axis linkage equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of CNC technology and mechanical design, the feasibility and urgent need of this invention have become apparent.

[0003] Most of the engraving machines, precision engraving machines, and 3D printers commonly found on the market are based on... Figure 4 These types of equipment typically operate with relatively low machining stress on the workpiece and at slow processing speeds. This mainstream form has remained on the market for many years. However, it hasn't developed more equipment, based on CNC technology and mechanical design, to meet the needs of a wider range of workpieces. There are also... Figure 3 The engraving machine shown has multiple power heads arrayed simultaneously along the Z-axis. However, there is no relative displacement between these power heads. This limits the processing of workpieces with the same shape and size when arranged in an array. The size of the workpieces is severely restricted. Figure 2 The structure shown is of the type of drilling center. There are two or more power heads on the Z-axis that can move up and down separately, but they cannot work simultaneously, nor can they be linked with the X-axis or Y-axis to achieve joint circular interpolation with multiple Z-axis to meet the needs of machining more workpieces. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem solved by this invention is that multi-Z-axis linkage equipment can effectively utilize the layout space of the equipment by arraying several Z-axis transmission systems that can move independently and freely along the Z-axis on a conventional X-axis transmission system. Simultaneously, a CNC system controls each Z-axis to work in conjunction with the X-axis and Y-axis transmission systems. This solves the problems of large-size processing and slow production speed in some engraving machines, precision engraving machines, and 3D printers; it also solves the problem of long product development cycles; it improves production efficiency; it saves space required for processing; it reduces errors caused by tool wear when used in subtractive manufacturing; it saves economic costs; it makes more effective use of CNC technology; it solves the problems of precision engraving and 3D printing of some large workpieces; and it reduces manual labor.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: A multi-Z-axis linkage device has a frame, on which a Y-axis transmission mechanism and a vertical frame are mounted. The Y-axis transmission mechanism has a worktable on it. The vertical frame has an X-axis transmission mechanism, and the X-axis transmission mechanism has several Z-axis transmission mechanisms. Simultaneously, this invention effectively utilizes the advantages of CNC technology, employing an array of several Z-axis transmission mechanisms arranged in a coordinated manner to achieve simultaneous linkage of several Z-axis with the X and Y axes, greatly improving production efficiency and significantly reducing the limitations imposed by machining methods on part dimensions.
