Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of machining technology for axial offset single-sided wheels, and more particularly to a cam circular interpolation single-sided machining method for precision turntables. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing of precision rotary tables, the cam, as a core transmission component, directly affects the rotary table's motion smoothness, positioning accuracy, and reliability due to its machining precision. Traditional cam machining methods suffer from the following technical defects, making it difficult to meet the stringent requirements of high-precision rotary tables: In existing technologies, cam machining typically employs static compensation or empirical correction methods, which cannot dynamically adjust the contact state between the tool and the roller in real time. Traditional machining methods are not only affected by factors such as tool wear and machine tool thermal deformation, but also fail to achieve 100% conformity to the theoretical surface. This leads to excessive vibration and positioning repeatability errors during turntable movement, making it difficult to meet the core requirements of high-precision turntables for smooth movement and accurate positioning.
[0003] Traditional methods often employ a single-parameter, two-stage "roughing → finishing" approach, lacking dynamic optimization of the cutting process. For example, in the roughing stage, high cutting forces are often used to maximize efficiency, leading to excessive surface waviness; in the finishing stage, to ensure quality, feed rates need to be reduced, resulting in a high proportion of idle travel time and long single-piece machining cycles. This contradiction between efficiency and quality severely restricts the large-scale production efficiency of high-precision rotary tables.
[0004] In existing technologies, the contact design between cams and rollers is mostly fixed, supporting only a single specification of machining requirements. When changing cams or rollers of different specifications, it is necessary to manually adjust the machine tool center distance, change the fixture, and even reprogram the process parameters, resulting in increased equipment downtime. Therefore, to address the above problems, a cam circular interpolation single-sided machining method for precision rotary tables is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a single-sided machining method for cam circular interpolation of precision rotary tables, which has the following beneficial effects: This precision rotary table uses a cam circular interpolation single-sided machining method. By introducing a dynamic error compensation formula and combining it with precise control of the circular interpolation motion trajectory, the contact state between the tool and the roller can be adjusted in real time to compensate for errors such as wear and thermal deformation during the machining process. In the finishing stage, by dynamically adjusting the tool diameter and offset, the single-sided contact error between the cam profile and the roller can be effectively reduced, which is a significant improvement over traditional methods and significantly improves the motion stability and positioning accuracy of the rotary table.
[0029] This precision rotary table employs a cam circular interpolation single-sided machining method. By adopting a "step-by-step machining + dynamic offset" strategy and combining phased parameter adjustments for roughing and finishing, it achieves a smooth transition from both ends to the center. This method reduces idle travel time, shortens the machining cycle of a single cam, and avoids surface waviness problems caused by sudden changes in cutting force in traditional methods by controlling the cutting force in stages.
[0030] This precision rotary table employs a cam-based circular interpolation single-sided machining method. Through its single-sided contact design and dynamic center distance adjustment formula, it is compatible with rollers and cams of different specifications, eliminating the need for frequent fixture changes or machine parameter adjustments. Furthermore, the formulaic parameter control reduces reliance on operator skills, significantly improving the stability of mass production, making it particularly suitable for fields with extremely high reliability requirements, such as aerospace and semiconductor equipment.

[0036] In this invention, the actual working surface of the cam, including the right side surface of the left half, is identified using 3D modeling software. and the left curved surface of the right half During processing, only the actual contact surface is machined with high precision. The surface equation is obtained through reverse engineering fitting, for example: (Right half of the curved surface) During processing, only regions satisfying y≥0 are processed.
[0037] In this invention, when machining the right-side curved surface, the offset distance d of the tool in the y-direction is calculated using the following formula:
[0038] Taking a roller diameter of 30mm, a cutter diameter of 16mm, and a cam profile radius of 50mm as an example, we calculate that d=7.4mm so that the cutter is tangent to the right side of the roller.

[0043] In this invention, during step-by-step processing, the dynamic adjustment formula for the bias d(t) is:
[0044] initial bias =10mm, attenuation rate μ=0.2, processing time t increases from 0 to 10 seconds, the offset gradually decreases to zero, realizing the processing transition from both ends to the center.
[0045] In this invention, during the rough machining of the left curved surface, the center distance... =232mm, tool diameter =16mm, the radius difference formula is: Set the roughing radius difference on the left side =-7.4mm, adjustment coefficient α=0.1, current step m=3, total steps M=6, gradually adjust the processing parameters.
[0046] In this invention, during the rough machining of the right-side curved surface, the center distance... =232mm, tool diameter =16mm, the radius difference formula is:
[0047] Set the roughing radius difference on the right side =7.4mm, adjustment coefficient β=0.15, current step m=2, total steps M=5, optimize processing path.
[0048] In this invention, the center distance adjustment formula is as follows during the finishing of the right curved surface:
[0049] set up =2mm, dynamic adjustment coefficient γ=0.3, processing time t=5 seconds, center distance gradually adjusted to =230mm; the offset formula is: Cutting tool diameter =30mm, adjustment coefficient δ=0.05, to achieve precise offset.
[0050] In this invention, during the finishing of the left curved surface, the offset amount =0, the center distance adjustment formula is: Set the final adjustment amount =1mm, optimization coefficient ζ=0.4, processing time t=8 seconds, center distance adjusted to =229mm; the formula for tool diameter is: Set the optimization coefficient η=0.02 and the total processing time T=10 seconds to ensure processing accuracy.
