Abstract

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of CNC machine tool applications, in particular to a fully closed-loop controlled testing machine for CNC machine tools which is easy to install. Background Art
[0002] The core of CNC machine tools is control accuracy. Currently, most machine tools on the market still use semi-closed loop control. Conventional digital machine tools are all semi-closed loop controlled, and the axis displacement accuracy is controlled by the encoder provided by the servo motor. This control method feeds back theoretical values, not actual running distance.
[0003] Moreover, conventional CNC machine tools use servo motor encoders to control the machine tool accuracy. The accuracy of the CNC machine tool axis movement is the moving distance calculated by the encoder and the lead screw pitch. The lead screw will heat up during long-term movement of the machine, and the lead screw will have thermal extension after heating, which will make the machine tool accuracy inaccurate.
[0004] As end users have increasingly higher requirements for the quality of machine tools, machine tool manufacturers are also paying attention to this issue. Utility Model Content

[0033] See also Figure 1 , the utility model provides a technical solution:
[0034] A fully closed-loop controlled testing machine for a CNC machine tool that is easy to install, comprising:
[0035] A base 15, with a servo motor 1 mounted on one side of the base 15;
[0036] A screw rod 4, the screw rod 4 being rotatably mounted on the base 15;
[0037] Linear rail 3, the linear rail 3 is mounted on the base 15;
[0038] A slider 8, wherein the slider 8 is mounted on the screw rod 4;
[0039] The servo motor 1 drives the screw rod 4 to rotate, so that the screw rod 4 drives the slider 8 to slide on the linear rail 3, thereby realizing movement on the screw rod 4;
[0040] The base 15 is provided with a structure for eliminating mechanical errors caused by thermal expansion of the screw rod 4 when the slider 8 moves on the screw rod 4 .
[0041] In a specific embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the base 15 includes a base 12 and a left side plate 11 and a right side plate 5 respectively mounted on both ends of the base 12. The servo motor 1 is mounted on the right side plate 5 / left side plate 11 and connected to one end of the screw rod 4 through a coupling 2.
[0042] In a specific embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, a bracket 6 is mounted on the base 12, the other end of the screw rod 4 passes through the bracket 6 and is rotatably connected to the left side plate 11 / right side plate 5, and the coupling 2 is mounted on the bracket 6. The screw rod 4 and the left side plate 11 / right side plate 5, as well as the screw rod 4 and the bracket 6, are engaged through bearings to achieve the rotation of the screw rod 4.
[0043] In a specific embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the structure includes a synchronous ruler 9, which is located on a base 12. The slider 8 is mounted with a slider mounting bracket 7, which slides on the synchronous ruler 9. A synchronous ruler mounting bracket 10 is mounted on the base 12 to secure the synchronous ruler 9. The slider mounting bracket 7 has a concave bottom that fits snugly on the synchronous ruler 9 and slides in conjunction with it.
[0044] In a specific embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the expansion coefficient of the material of the synchronous ruler 9 is the same as the expansion coefficient of the machine tool casting of the CNC machine tool.
[0045] In a specific embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the spacing tolerance between the synchronization ruler 9 and the slider 8 is 0.25 mm ± 0.13 mm.
[0046] In a specific embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, a guide rod 13 for sliding the slider 8 is installed between the left side plate 11 and the right side plate 5. This makes the slider 8 more stable when it is driven by the screw rod 4 and moves left and right along the screw rod 4.
[0047] In a specific embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, handles 14 are installed at both ends of the base 15 to facilitate moving the entire testing machine to a suitable location.
[0048] In the field of CNC machine tools, conventional CNC machine tools use servo motor encoders to control the accuracy of the machine tools. The accuracy of the CNC machine tool axis movement is the movement distance calculated by the encoder and the lead screw pitch:
[0049] If the lead screw is single-start, meaning it has only one thread, then the distance the lead screw moves is directly equal to the thread pitch multiplied by the number of pulses output by the encoder. For example, if the thread pitch is P mm and the encoder outputs N pulses, then the distance the lead screw moves is P × N mm.
[0050] For multi-start lead screws (such as double-start and triple-start), the lead screw has multiple threads. In this case, the distance the lead screw moves is the sum of the distances moved by each individual thread. For example, if a four-start lead screw has a pitch of 2 mm and the encoder outputs 4 pulses, this means that the servo motor rotates once, but because the lead screw has four starts, the actual distance moved is 4 × P mm, where P is the pitch of each individual thread. If the encoder outputs N pulses, the actual distance moved is N × P mm.
[0051] When the machine moves for a long time, the screw will heat up, and when the screw heats up, there will be thermal extension, which will make the machine tool accuracy inaccurate.
[0052] In order to solve the above-mentioned problem of inaccurate machine tool precision, the Nidec brand synchronous ruler currently sold by the company is used for full closed-loop control of CNC machine tools. The machine tool uses the Nidec brand synchronous ruler 9, which can improve the precision of CNC machine tools to 1m±2.5μm.
[0053] After the CNC machine tool is installed with the Nidec brand synchronous ruler, the control mode is fully closed-loop. The displacement accuracy of the machine tool is controlled by the synchronous ruler. The expansion coefficient of the synchronous ruler 9 material is the same as that of the machine tool casting. The use of the Nidec brand synchronous ruler can improve the machine tool accuracy and eliminate the mechanical error caused by the thermal expansion of the screw 4.
[0054] The utility model is applied to the Nidec synchronous ruler test machine platform for communication test between the synchronous ruler 9 and the numerical control system. The commonly used numerical control systems on the market include Mitsubishi, Fanuc, Siemens, Shindai, and Huazhong, which can all be used for communication test. The synchronous ruler 9 is installed on the test machine for display, allowing customers to intuitively understand the full closed-loop function of the Nidec synchronous ruler. The display machine is used for synchronous ruler communication test and display training of various systems.
[0055] This utility model uses a synchronized ruler 9 as a product for full closed-loop control of CNC machine tools. Full closed-loop control involves sending movement commands through the CNC machine tool's servo motor, and using the motor's built-in encoder to provide position feedback, which is semi-closed-loop control. Using a synchronized ruler implements full closed-loop control of the movement position. The synchronized ruler can be used as a ruler. Semi-closed-loop movement is a theoretical value, while full closed-loop control uses the synchronized ruler to provide feedback on the actual value, which is then fed back through the synchronized ruler 9. The entire process is closed-loop control, which provides high precision. By installing a synchronized ruler 9 on a machine tool, the overall accuracy of the machine tool can be greatly improved, meeting the customer's machining accuracy requirements.
[0056] The value fed back by the encoder is a theoretical value, which is moved by the motor pulse command. For example, the command moves X100, and the motor moves the theoretical value 100 through calculation. Whether the actual movement is 100 is not fed back in the semi-closed loop control, while the synchronous ruler 9 is the actual movement value fed back to achieve full closed loop control.
[0057] In the utility model, the entire material of the testing machine is made of stainless iron.
[0058] The structure includes: a servo motor 1, a base 15, a coupling 2, a screw rod 4, a linear rail 3, a slider 8, a synchronous scale mounting bracket 10, a slider mounting bracket 7, etc.
[0059] A test machine for a CNC machine tool using full closed-loop control and a Nidec synchronous ruler 9 communicating with the CNC system includes a servo motor 1 installed on the right side plate 5 (of course, it can also be installed on the left side plate 11), the servo motor 1 is connected to the coupling 2, the coupling 6 is connected to the bracket 6, the bracket 6 plays a fixed support role, and the bracket 6 is installed on the base 12. The screw 4 passes through the bracket 6 and is mounted on the bracket 6 through a bearing sleeve. The function of the screw 4 is to rotate the servo motor 1 and drive the slider 8 to run together, changing the rotational operation to linear operation. The slider mounting bracket 7 is used to install the synchronous motion slider 8. The slider 8 moves along the linear rail 3. The synchronous ruler 9 is installed on the synchronous ruler mounting bracket 10. The spacing tolerance between the synchronous ruler 9 and the slider 8 is 0.25mm±0.13mm. The left side plate 11, the right side plate 5 and the bottom plate 12 are the main supporting components of the test machine.
[0060] The installation tolerance of the synchronization ruler 9 and the slider 8 is: the spacing tolerance between the synchronization ruler and the slider. The slider is the reading head. The slider 8 and the synchronization ruler 9 are non-contact installed, and the installation tolerance is 0.25mm±0.13mm.
[0061] The present utility model, the undescribed parts are prior art.
