Description

[0001] The invention relates to a tool for machining a workpiece and to a machine tool with such a tool. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for machining a workpiece.

[0002] From DE 10 2010 002 019 A1, a machine tool is known with a machine frame and a tool rotatably connected to it, wherein the tool comprises a set of first tool elements and a set of second tool elements for two-stage machining, in particular of cylindrical bores, of a workpiece. The first tool elements and the second tool elements are arranged spaced apart from each other along a rotational axis of the tool and can be displaced radially to the rotational axis by means of a sliding unit. The installation space occupied by the sliding units is particularly large, especially in the radial direction to the rotational axis, which means that only workpieces whose bores have a certain minimum diameter can be machined.

[0003] The invention is based on the objective of creating an improved tool for multi-stage machining of workpieces, which enables the machining of workpieces, in particular small diameter bores, in an economical manner.

[0004] This problem is solved by a tool with the features of claim 1. According to the invention, it was found that the first drive surface of the first slide unit and the second drive surface of the second slide unit must overlap each other in orthogonal projection onto a transverse plane to the axis of rotation in order to create a tool that enables the economical machining of small-diameter bores. Because the first drive surface and the second drive surface overlap in orthogonal projection onto a transverse plane to the axis of rotation, the respective first output body connected to the at least one pre-cutting element and the respective output body connected to the at least one post-cutting element can be arranged particularly close to the axis of rotation of the tool. The transverse plane is a plane extending perpendicular to the axis of rotation.The tool, in particular the first slide unit and / or the second slide unit, can therefore have a particularly small radial dimension. The installation space required for mounting the at least one first drive body and the at least one second drive body, especially in the radial direction, can thus be reduced. The mounting of the drive bodies on the tool shank is therefore particularly stable and has minimal play, even with a small radial extent of the tool.

[0005] The maximum first stroke of the at least one pre-cutting element and / or the maximum second stroke of the at least one re-cutting element can therefore be particularly large, especially due to the small radial dimensions of the slide units. This increased stroke enhances the tool's flexibility and can also extend its service life. Because of the reduced dimensions of the slide units, the at least one pre-cutting element and / or the at least one re-cutting element can have a particularly large, especially radial, extension. This allows the wear limit of the at least one pre-cutting element and / or the at least one re-cutting element to be raised, resulting in longer tool life. Consequently, machining the workpiece can be performed with exceptional efficiency.For example, the radial extent of a bearing assembly for supporting the output elements on the tool shank can be made particularly large. This results in a mechanically robust and low-backlash bearing arrangement for the output elements.

[0006] The term "pre-cutting element" refers to the cutting element that engages with the workpiece in a first machining step. The term "re-cutting element" refers to the cutting element that engages with the workpiece in a second machining step. The tool according to the invention thus enables two machining steps to be performed without a tool change. According to one aspect of the invention, the at least one pre-cutting element is designed for rough machining of the workpiece, and the at least one re-cutting element is designed for fine machining of the workpiece. Machining of the workpiece can also be performed alternately with the at least one re-cutting element and with the at least one pre-cutting element.

[0007] The cutting elements can have a geometrically defined and / or a geometrically undefined cutting edge. For example, the pre-cutting element can have a geometrically undefined cutting edge and the post-cutting element a geometrically defined cutting edge, or vice versa. The at least one pre-cutting element and / or the at least one post-cutting element can therefore be designed, for example, as a friction element or as a grinding element.

[0008] Preferably, the cutting device comprises several pre-cutting elements and several post-cutting elements. For example, the cutting device can comprise at least two, in particular at least three, and in particular at least six pre-cutting elements and / or post-cutting elements. Preferably, the number of pre-cutting elements corresponds to the number of the first output bodies. The number of post-cutting elements can correspond to the number of the second output bodies. According to a preferred embodiment, the number of pre-cutting elements can correspond to the number of post-cutting elements. Alternatively, the number of pre-cutting elements can be different from the number of post-cutting elements. The ratio between the number of pre-cutting elements and the number of post-cutting elements can thus be designed according to the loads acting on them and according to the wear of the tool, in particular the cutting elements.

[0009] The at least one pre-cutting element is preferably detachably connected to the at least one first drive body. The at least one post-cutting element can be detachably connected to the at least one second drive body, in particular by frictional and / or positive locking. This advantageously ensures that the cutting elements designed as pre-cutting and post-cutting elements are easily replaceable. Alternatively, the at least one pre-cutting element and / or the at least one post-cutting element can be materially bonded to the respective drive body. The at least one pre-cutting element and / or the at least one post-cutting element can each be connected to the respective drive body via a cutting element receptacle. The at least one pre-cutting element and / or the at least one post-cutting element each form a cutting edge together with one of the drive bodies.

[0010] Preferably, the first slide unit and the second slide unit, in particular the first drive body and the second drive body and / or the first drive surface and the second drive surface and / or the at least one first output body and the at least one second output body, are arranged overlapping each other along the axis of rotation on the tool shank. This advantageously results in a particularly small axially compact installation space occupied by the tool. Preferably, the at least one pre-cutting element and the at least one post-cutting element extend over an identical length along the axis of rotation. The workpiece can thus be machined with an unchanged penetration depth by either the at least one pre-cutting element or the at least one post-cutting element.

[0011] Preferably, the tool comprises at least one spring element that interacts with the cutting device. For example, a compression spring and / or a tension spring can be operatively connected to the cutting device via the first slide unit and / or via the second slide unit. According to a preferred embodiment, a compression spring is arranged between the first drive body and the tool shank, and another between the second drive body and the tool shank. The compression springs can be arranged on the tool shank such that they are tensioned in the direction of the workpiece when the first drive body or the second drive body is moved along the axis of rotation. The at least one pre-cutting element and / or the at least one post-cutting element can be operatively connected to at least one ring spring.Preferably, the at least one ring spring is arranged on the cutting elements in such a way that it is tensioned outwards when the cutting elements are moved in a radial direction.

[0012] To reposition the at least one pre-cutting element and / or the at least one post-cutting element relative to the tool shank, in particular in the direction of the axis of rotation, in particular into a return position, the tool may have magnets.

[0013] The tool shank can be made of multiple parts. Preferably, the tool shank is composed of several parts along the axis of rotation, which are particularly detachably connected to one another. This makes the assembly of the tool, especially the slide units and the spring elements that interact with them, particularly easy.

[0014] The first slide unit and / or the second slide unit may have a pair of sliding bearings on the first drive surface and / or in the area of ​​the second drive surface. The drive bodies and / or the driven bodies may have a hardened material in the area of ​​the drive surfaces.

[0015] The first drive surface and / or the second drive surface can be flat. According to a preferred embodiment, the drive surfaces are curved, in particular conical, and in particular sector-shaped with a frustoconical face. The drive elements and the output elements of the first and second slide units can thus interact with each other with particularly low friction.

[0016] Preferably, the first slide unit and / or the second slide unit and / or the tool shank comprises a damping material.

[0017] The tool can incorporate active damping elements. This reliably prevents chatter marks from forming during machining of the workpiece.

[0018] According to another aspect of the invention, the tool can have wear sensors. The tool can have electrical and / or optical wear sensors. Alternatively, the tool can have fluid channels for wear determination that open as wear increases.

[0019] A tool according to claim 2 can be manufactured particularly economically and, especially in the radial direction, can be designed to be particularly compact. By mounting the first drive body on, and especially within, the second drive body, an additional, space-consuming bearing arrangement can be dispensed with. Preferably, the first drive body is connected to the second drive body in a rotationally fixed manner, particularly by a positive locking connection. The second drive body can be connected to the tool shank in a rotationally fixed manner, particularly by a positive locking connection. The drive bodies thus interact with the respective output bodies in a particularly reliable and low-friction manner.

[0020] A tool according to claim 3, particularly in the radial direction, can be designed to be especially space-saving. Preferably, the second drive body has at least one, in particular slot-shaped, recess that penetrates the second drive body in the radial direction. The first drive body can penetrate the at least one recess. Alternatively, the at least one recess can be penetrated by the at least one first output body.

[0021] A tool according to claim 4 ensures particularly flexible and economical machining of the workpiece. The circumferential overlap refers to an arrangement, at least partially, in the same area along the axis of rotation. Due to the circumferential overlap of the at least one pre-cutting element and the at least one post-cutting element around the axis of rotation, these elements are arranged particularly compactly on the tool shank along the axis of rotation. The space required by the tool in the axial direction is therefore particularly small. Preferably, all pre-cutting elements and all post-cutting elements extend over the same section along the axis of rotation.

[0022] A tool according to claim 5 has a particularly small installation space requirement in the axial direction. Preferably, the first drive surface and the second drive surface are also arranged overlapping each other along the axis of rotation on the tool shank.

[0023] A tool according to claim 6 ensures particularly precise machining of the workpiece. Because the first drive body interacts with the at least one first output body and / or the second drive body interacts with the at least one second output body via several axially spaced first drive surfaces and / or second drive surfaces, the bearing of the output bodies on the tool shank is particularly stable. Preferably, each output body is connected via at least two drive surfaces of the respective drive body. This allows, in particular, a very precise adjustment of the angle between the axis of rotation and the respective drive body. Preferably, a portion of the respective cutting element interacting with the workpiece is oriented parallel to the axis of rotation.

[0024] A tool according to claim 7 has a particularly long service life and can be operated particularly economically. The pre-cutting edge height is defined by the radial extent of the at least one pre-cutting element together with the first output body associated therewith. The post-cutting edge height is defined by the radial extent of the at least one post-cutting element together with the second output body associated therewith.

[0025] Preferably, the radial extensions of the cutting edge bearings, in which the cutting elements are guided, differ according to the design of the pre-cutting edge height and the post-cutting edge height. This allows the cutting edge bearings to be dimensioned according to the forces acting during machining of the workpiece.

[0026] A tool according to claim 8 ensures a particularly long service life and is especially economical in operation. The maximum feed stroke of the respective output body can, for example, be adapted to the wear of the associated pre-cutting or post-cutting element. Preferably, the maximum feed stroke of the at least one first output body is not equal to the maximum feed stroke of the at least one second output body.

[0027] A tool according to claim 9 is particularly robust in operation. The cross-sectional area of ​​the cutting edge bearing is understood to be the area that extends tangentially to the axis of rotation and is surrounded by the cutting edge bearing. Preferably, the cutting edge bearings of the first output bodies differ from the cutting edge bearings of the second output bodies. The cutting edge bearings can thus be dimensioned independently of one another for the at least one first output body and the at least one second output body, according to the forces acting on the output bodies. The tool can thus be designed to be particularly robust, material-efficient, and compact.

[0028] A tool according to claim 10 is particularly robust and economical in operation. The bearing surfaces are understood to be those surfaces of the respective cutting edge bearing that are in contact with the cutting edges, in particular the drive bodies and / or the cutting elements. The cutting edge bearings can therefore be designed to be particularly wear-resistant and compact.

[0029] A tool according to claim 11 ensures particularly precise centering relative to the workpiece and thus very precise workpiece machining. Due to the alternating arrangement of the multiple pre-cutting elements and the multiple post-cutting elements around the circumference of the tool, the forces transmitted between the workpiece and the tool are also distributed evenly in the circumferential direction. This reliably ensures the centering of the tool. Chatter marks on the workpiece can be reliably prevented.

[0030] A tool according to claim 12 is particularly simple and robust in its construction. By arranging several pre-cutting elements and / or several post-cutting elements side by side or directly following one another in the circumferential direction, the first slide unit and / or the second slide unit can be designed to be simple and robust. For example, the first drive body can thus interact with several first output bodies via a single recess, in particular a penetration, of the second drive body.

[0031] A tool according to claim 13 has a high wear limit, a high feed rate of the cutting elements, and a particularly small installation space requirement, especially in the radial direction. Using the tool, which is designed as a honing tool, bores, especially cylindrical ones, with a particularly small bore diameter can be machined. Preferably, the at least one pre-cutting element is designed as a roughing element and the at least one finishing element is designed as a surface honing element.

[0032] The invention is further based on the objective of creating a machine tool that is particularly flexible in use, has a long service life and can therefore be operated in a particularly economical manner.

[0033] This problem is solved by a machine tool with the features of claim 14. The advantages of the machine tool according to the invention correspond to the advantages of the tool already described. The machine tool can be designed as a multi-axis machine. Preferably, the tool is rotatably mounted on the machine frame and can be driven by means of the drive unit. The drive unit can comprise a motor, in particular an electric motor and / or a hydraulic motor.

[0034] The selection device preferably comprises a first selection drive for providing a first selection force and a second selection drive for providing a second selection force. To transmit the first selection force to the first slide unit, the tool may have a first push rod with a first selection force surface for interaction with the first selection drive. The second selection drive may transmit the second selection force via a second selection force surface to a second push rod of the tool, which is connected to the second slide unit.

[0035] The invention is further based on the objective of creating a method that enables the machining of a workpiece, especially when the workpiece has small dimensions, in a particularly economical manner.

[0036] This problem is solved by a method with the features of claim 15. The advantages of the method according to the invention correspond to the advantages of the tool according to the invention already described. In particular, the method can also be further developed with the features mentioned in connection with the tool, especially with the features of at least one of claims 1 to 14.

The cutting edge bearings 44 for storing the first drive bodies 25 the first cross-sectional areas A1 up. The cutting edge bearings 44 for storing the second output bodies 29 the second cross-sectional areas A2 on. The second cross-sectional areas A2 are larger than the first cross-sectional areas A1 .

[0065] How the tool works 5 According to the second embodiment, the tool functions as follows: 5according to the first embodiment. The alternating arrangement of the pre-cutting elements. 14 and the recutting elements 15 ensures a particularly even effect of the pre-cutting elements 14 or the recutting elements 15 on the drilling 4a of the workpiece 4 .

[0066] A machine tool 1 with a tool 5 According to one of the embodiments described above, for a given machining diameter D of the tool 5 a particularly long first delivery route s1 the pre-cutting elements 14 and a particularly large second delivery route s2 the re-cutting elements 15 up. The cutting edge bearings 44 the tools 5 They also exhibit a particularly large radial extent, which makes the first driven bodies 25 and the second drive bodies 29especially stable, particularly free of play, on the tool shaft 12 are stored. This reliably prevents the formation of chatter marks. Due to the increased delivery distances. s1 , s2 is the service life of the tools described above 5 also for small machining diameters D of the tool 1 or diameter of the bores 4a of the workpiece 4 especially high.
