Description

[0001] The invention generally relates to a clamping system for clamping a workpiece on a machine table or a workpiece carrier pallet of a machine tool, which is particularly suitable for machining the workpiece.

[0002] Zero-point clamping systems are used to clamp workpieces in a machine tool, particularly for machining operations such as lathes, CNC milling machines, and the like, using clamping devices such as chucks, on the machine tables or workpiece carrier pallets of the machine tool as quickly, accurately, and repeatably as possible. With zero-point clamping systems, changeover times in production can be reduced, during which no machining of workpieces is possible, thereby improving the production time of the machine tool. Many different variations of zero-point clamping systems are known from the prior art.

[0003] EP 3 756 820 B1 describes a zero-point clamping system with a clamping plate that is permanently attached to the machine tool. The clamping plate has a plurality of mounting elements distributed across it and projecting from it. The zero-point clamping system described therein also includes a clamping device with several mounting recesses on its underside into which the mounting elements can be inserted. The clamping device also has a fastening mechanism designed to reversibly and releasably fix the mounting elements when they are positioned in the mounting recess.

[0004] Another such zero-point clamping system is disclosed in DE 10 2020 105 722 A1. Here, too, several mounting elements distributed on a clamping plate serve to enable the clamping device to be attached at different locations on the clamping plate.

[0005] DE 10 2016 012 169 also describes fastening devices designed to attach a platform, on the top of which the workpiece to be machined can be clamped, to a clamping plate.

[0006] DE 10 2016 122 090 B4 discloses a clamping system with a reference connection unit and a compensating connection unit, which are arranged between the workpiece and a clamping plate with predetermined zero point fixtures and fix the workpiece to the clamping plate.

[0007] Further clamping systems can be found, for example, in DE 10 2021 103 114 A1, EP 3536456 B1, and CH 713541 A2.

[0008] In the clamping systems described above, the possible positions in which the clamping device can be attached to the machine table of the machine tool are predetermined by the fixed arrangement of the mounting points on the clamping plates, which restricts the positioning of the clamping device on the machine table.

[0009] Based on this, the object of the invention is to provide an improved clamping system with which, in particular, flexible and at the same time precise positioning of the clamping device on the machine table of the machine tool or on the workpiece carrier pallets of the machine tool is possible.

[0010] This task is solved by the clamping system for clamping a workpiece on a machine table or a workpiece carrier pallet of a machine tool according to claim 1:

[0011] The clamping system according to the invention comprises at least one elongated base body and at least one clamping device. The elongated base body can be fixedly attached to the machine table or the workpiece carrier pallet. The base body also defines a longitudinal axis, which in particular runs within a horizontal plane. The elongated base body extends in particular along the longitudinal axis between two end regions.

[0012] A workpiece clamping device can be arranged or is arranged on the upper surface of at least one clamping device, by means of which the workpiece can be clamped. The workpiece clamping device can be a separate unit that can be coupled to the clamping device. Alternatively, the workpiece clamping device can be part of the clamping device. On its underside, the clamping device has a receiving groove with a base clamping device. The receiving groove can, for example, have a trapezoidal cross-section at least in one area.

[0013] The receiving groove is designed to receive the base body at least in sections, wherein the clamping device is guided by the base body and can be moved along the longitudinal axis and can be clamped (reversibly) to the base body and / or the machine table or the workpiece carrier pallet by means of the base body clamping device.

[0014] A special feature of the clamping system according to the invention is that the clamping device can be guided and slid along the longitudinal axis of the base body and can be detachably clamped in a desired position by means of the base body clamping device, thus enabling fine adjustment of the clamping device's position relative to the machine table or workpiece carrier pallet. When adjusting the clamping device's position, one is not bound to predetermined positions for attaching the clamping device, which can result from the relatively coarse grid of the clamping plate in prior art. In particular, when clamping workpieces with different dimensions, the position of the clamping device on the machine table or on the workpiece carrier pallet can be adapted to the workpiece dimensions. This, in particular, prevents the clamping device's position on the machine table or pallet from being incorrectly adjusted.The workpiece clamping device must be fixed in a coarse grid on the workpiece carrier pallet in a position that is unfavorable for clamping the workpiece, where, for example, the workpiece can only be clamped asymmetrically by the workpiece clamping device. By being able to flexibly position the clamping device with the workpiece clamping device on the machine table or the workpiece carrier pallet, an unfavorable distribution of clamping forces can be avoided.

[0015] It is preferred that the base body has two lateral flanks arranged parallel to each other, wherein at least one of the lateral flanks has a first side contour with which a clamping contour of the base body clamping device can be positively and / or non-positively connected. Because the clamping contour can be positively and / or non-positively connected to the first side contour, a backlash-free connection between the base body and the clamping device can be created. The connection between the clamping device and the base body is particularly reversible. The clamping device can thus be securely and precisely attached to the machine table and / or the workpiece carrier pallet in a desired clamping position relative to the base body.

[0016] In particular, a portion of the receiving groove has a trapezoidal cross-section, preferably dovetail-shaped. A corresponding portion of the base body preferably has a cross-section complementary to that portion of the receiving groove. In the unclamped state, the base body can thus form a linear guide for the clamping device, allowing the clamping device to be movably guided along its longitudinal axis. In the clamped state, however, the clamping device is held immovably in the clamping position on the machine table and / or the workpiece carrier pallet.

[0017] Preferably, the first side contour has at least one groove with an inclined boundary surface arranged at an angle about the longitudinal axis relative to the side flank. The inclined boundary surface is, in particular, inclined at a predetermined first angle relative to the side flank. The first angle can be between 20 and 70 degrees, preferably between 30 and 60 degrees, and most preferably between 40 and 50 degrees. The first angle can be at least substantially 45 degrees. Because the boundary surface of the groove is inclined, when the clamping device is tightened, the underside of the clamping device is pressed / clamped against the top of the machine table and / or the workpiece carrier pallet, so that the clamping device can be securely and precisely attached to the machine table and / or the workpiece carrier pallet.During clamping, the clamping device is clamped downwards against the machine table and / or the workpiece carrier pallet, creating a friction-fit connection between the clamping device and the base body. The longitudinal axis defined by the base body is, in particular, a horizontal line running along the length of the base body.

[0018] The first side contour preferably has a toothed section with multiple teeth, which preferably run along the lateral flank of the base body. The toothing, in particular, forms a (fine) grid with a multitude of defined clamping positions along the longitudinal axis, thereby defining multiple clamping positions for the clamping device. The teeth of the toothing are preferably equidistant from one another. The distance between the clamping positions defined by the teeth can, for example, be in the millimeter range, such as 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, or 6 mm.

[0019] Preferably, the teeth are each defined by at least two tooth surfaces that are inclined about the longitudinal axis and about a transverse axis relative to the lateral flank, thereby centering the clamping device in a clamping position (in the longitudinal axis direction) when clamped to the machine table or the workpiece carrier pallet, which is determined by the toothing. The tooth surfaces are preferably at least substantially planar. In particular, the tooth surfaces are inclined at a predetermined second angle relative to the lateral flank. The second angle can be between 20 and 70 degrees, preferably between 30 and 60 degrees, and particularly preferably between 40 and 50 degrees. The first angle can be at least substantially 45 degrees. Alternatively, the tooth surfaces can be at least substantially convex. When clamped, the clamping device is thus pressed downwards against the machine table or the workpiece carrier pallet.The workpiece carrier pallet is clamped so that a friction-fit connection is created between the clamping device and the base body.

[0020] The base body clamping device comprises, in particular, at least one base body clamping element. The base body clamping element is preferably pin-shaped, with the clamping contour of the base body clamping device being formed in a tip region of the base body clamping element.

[0021] Preferably, the base body clamping element has a clamping tooth with at least one clamping tooth adapted to the shape of the toothing, which engages with the toothing of the fastening contour when the clamping device is clamped.

[0022] The clamping teeth allow the clamping device to be positioned along the base body in discrete clamping positions. The tooth surfaces serve as (lateral) guides and simultaneously as clamping surfaces for the base body clamping element.

[0023] It is preferred that the base body clamping device has a clamping mechanism which is configured to move the base body clamping element transversely to the longitudinal axis (along the transverse axis).

[0024] The lateral flanks of the base body are asymmetrically designed, particularly in cross-section, which allows a precise lateral position of the clamping device 12 to be determined during clamping.

[0025] Preferably, the first side contour is formed only on one of the flanks and a second side contour on the other flank.

[0026] In particular, the receiving groove on the side where the second side contour is located is designed to be complementary to the second side contour of the base body.

[0027] On one upper side of the base body, (visible) markings are provided in particular, which give the user visual or haptic feedback on the current position of the clamping device, thus enabling easy and convenient adjustment of the clamping position of the clamping device.

[0028] In a further embodiment, the clamping system comprises several clamping devices of the type described above, which are guided along the longitudinal axis of the base body and can be clamped to the base body and / or the machine table or the workpiece carrier pallet by means of their base body clamping devices. This makes it possible to precisely position even larger workpieces, particularly those with multiple clamping jaws, on the machine table of the machine tool. The clamping devices can be equipped differently or identically, for example, with a workpiece clamping device on the top or with a coupling device for connecting a workpiece clamping device on the top.

[0029] In particular, the clamping system comprises several base bodies of the type described above, which can be mounted adjacent to one another on the machine table or workpiece carrier pallet such that the longitudinal axes of the base bodies are aligned. This allows the clamping device, or, if the clamping system comprises several clamping devices, the clamping devices to be movable over an extended distance along the common longitudinal axis. This enables the clamping system to be flexibly adapted to the size of the workpieces. Preferably, the cross-sections of the base bodies are at least substantially identical and each preferably has a first side contour on one lateral flank and a second side contour on the other lateral flank, as described above. The base bodies can be arranged and attached to the machine table or workpiece carrier pallet such that the lateral flanks of the base bodies are aligned.In particular, the first and second side contours continue, preferably at least essentially seamlessly and / or without gaps, over the lateral flanks of the base bodies.

These show: Fig. 1 a schematic view of an example of the clamping system according to the invention in perspective view; Fig. 2 a schematic view of the in Fig. 1 basic body shown without clamping device; Fig. 3a an example of the clamping device in perspective view; Fig. 3b a side view of the in Fig. 3a example of the clamping device shown; Fig. 4a another example of the clamping device in perspective view; Fig. 4b a side view of the in Fig. 3b example of the clamping device; Fig. 5 a cross-sectional view of the basic body; Fig. 6 a side detail view of the in Fig. 2 and Fig. 5 basic body shown onto the side flank; Fig. 7 A cross-sectional view of the clamping device, without the base body shown; Fig. 8 a side view of the clamping system; Fig. 9 a cross-sectional view along the section plane CC; Fig. 10 a detailed view of the in Fig. 9 circled area designated with the reference sign Z; Fig. 11 a longitudinal section view along the section plane BB; Fig. 12 a detailed view of the basic clamping element; as well as Fig. 13 a longitudinal section view along the section plane AA.

[0031] Fig. Figure 1 shows a schematic perspective view of an embodiment of the clamping system 10 according to the invention, which comprises an elongated base body 11 and at least one clamping device 12. The clamping system 10 serves to clamp a workpiece to a machine table or a workpiece carrier plate 13 of a machine tool, which is particularly well-suited for machining the workpiece. The machine tool can be, for example, a CNC milling machine or a lathe.

[0032] The elongated base body 11 has a surface 15 on its upper surface 14, which is preferably at least substantially flat. The elongated base body 11 can be fixedly attached to the machine table 13.

[0033] In the Fig. In the example shown, a mounting hole 16 is visible, while the other mounting holes 16 are hidden by the clamping device 12.

[0034] In Fig. 2 is the basic body 11 made of Fig. Figure 1 shows the base body 11 without a clamping device 12, so that the additional mounting holes 16 are visible. The mounting holes 16 make it possible to fix the elongated base body 11 in a fixed position on the machine table 13. Several markings 24 are also placed equidistantly apart on the surface 15 of the top 14 of the base body 11. These markings are located in the following sections: Fig. 1 and Fig. The markings 24 shown are indentations that are visually visible. In addition, the clamping device 12 can have spring-loaded pins in the receiving groove 35, which provide perceptible resistance when the clamping device 12 is moved, as the pins are pushed over the indentations.

[0035] The elongated base body 11 defines a longitudinal axis L. The longitudinal axis L is defined such that it extends along the main direction of the elongated base body 11.

[0036] The at least one clamping device 12 has a top surface 17 to which a workpiece clamping device 45 can be reversibly connected or is formed. The workpiece clamping device 45 is in Fig. 1 not shown.

[0037] In Fig. Figure 3a shows the clamping device 12 with a workpiece clamping device 45 attached to its upper surface 17. The workpiece clamping device 45 has two clamping jaws 46, at least one of which is movable towards and away from the other (along the transverse axis Q). In this example, the clamping jaws 46 are arranged such that they run parallel to the longitudinal axis L. Fig. 4a shows a side view of the in Fig. 3a shown clamping system 10.

[0038] In Fig. Figure 3b shows another example of the clamping device 12. In this example, the clamping device 12 and the workpiece clamping unit 45 form a single unit. The workpiece clamping unit 45 is formed on the upper surface 17 of the clamping device 12. Again, the workpiece clamping unit 45 has two clamping jaws 46, with at least one of the clamping jaws 46 being movable towards and away from the other (along the transverse axis Q). The clamping jaws 46 are also arranged in this example such that they run parallel to the longitudinal axis L. Fig. 4b shows a side view of the in Fig. 3b of the clamping system shown 10.

[0039] In Fig. The clamping device 12 has a receiving groove 35 formed on the underside 18, in which a section of the base body 11 is accommodated. The receiving groove 35 forms a recess for the base body 11 and is, for example, arranged centrally on the underside 18 of the clamping device 12. A base body clamping device 20 is accommodated in the receiving groove 35, which will be described later, particularly with regard to Fig. 7 to 11 are described in more detail.

[0040] The clamping device 12 is to be placed on the base body 11 in such a way that the base body 11 is received at least section by the receiving groove 35 and the clamping device 12 is guided by the base body 11 and is movable along the longitudinal axis L.

[0041] The basic body 11 has two laterally parallel flanks 21, 22, wherein in Fig. 1. Due to the perspective, only flank 21 is visible in the image.

[0042] In the Fig. In the example shown, both lateral flanks 21, 22 of the base body 11 have an asymmetrical cross-section. A first side contour 23 is formed on one lateral flank 21, which can be positively connected to a corresponding clamping contour 32 of the base body clamping device 20. On the other lateral flank 22, a second side contour 25 is formed, which serves as a buttress for the base body clamping device 20 when clamping.

[0043] The lateral flanks 21, 22 of the base body 11, together with the flanks of the receiving groove 35, form a linear guide for the clamping device 12 in the direction of the longitudinal axis L. The base body 11 can be clamped by means of the base body clamping device 20 when, for example, it has been brought into the desired clamping position along the longitudinal axis L.

[0044] In Fig. Figure 5 shows an example cross-sectional view of the base body 11. The top surface 14 of the base body 11 has a flat surface 15.

[0045] At the in Fig. The example shown in Figure 5 is an asymmetrically designed embodiment of the base body 11. The first side contour 23 is formed on one flank 21, and the second side contour 25 on the other flank 22. The first side contour 23 has a groove 26 with an adjoining inclined surface 27. The inclined surface 27 is arranged inclined about the longitudinal axis L relative to the surface 15. The inclined surface 27 is also provided with a toothing 28 having a plurality of teeth 29.

[0046] The second side contour 25 has a similarly inclined mating surface 27', which is inclined about the longitudinal axis L relative to the surface 15. The second side contour 25 does not have a groove 26 compared to the fastening contour 23. The angles at which the inclined surfaces 27 and 27' are inclined can differ from each other.

[0047] In Fig. 6 is a side view detail of the [unclear text] in the Fig. Figures 2 to 5 show the basic body 11 viewed from the side flank 21. The first side contour 23 has a toothing 28 with a plurality of teeth 29, which form a grid R with a plurality of predefined clamping positions P along the longitudinal axis L. The teeth 29 of the toothing 28 are arranged equidistant from each other. Each of the teeth 29 has two (lateral) tooth surfaces 30. The tooth surfaces 30 are inclined about the longitudinal axis L relative to the surface 15 and are also arranged inclined towards each other.

[0048] Fig. Figure 7 shows a cross-sectional view of the clamping device 12 without the base body 11. The clamping device 12 has a receiving groove 35 on its underside 18, which is configured to receive at least a section of the base body 11. The clamping device 12 has a base body clamping device 20 with a base body clamping element 31, wherein the base body clamping element 31 is at least partially movable into the interior of the receiving groove 35. The base body clamping device 20 also has a clamping mechanism 36, which is located in the Fig. As shown in the example 7, this is implemented by a screw 36 that can be screwed in and out of a bore. The base clamping element 31 is pin-shaped. In a tip area 37 of the base clamping element 31, a clamping contour 32 with a, preferably inclined, clamping tooth 33 is formed. The clamping tooth 33 is adapted to the toothing 28 of the base body 11. The base clamping element 31 also has a guide groove 39. A guide pin is arranged in the guide groove 39, which forms a linear guide for the base clamping element 31 and prevents rotation of the base clamping element 31. This ensures that the clamping contour 32 always remains aligned with the first side contour 23, so that the clamping tooth 33 can engage with the toothing 28.

[0049] On the opposite side of the base body clamping device 20 of the receiving groove 35, a counter surface 38, which is also preferably inclined, is formed against which the other flank 22 is pressed when the clamping device 12 is tightened on the base body 11.

[0050] In Fig. Figure 7 also shows a section through a coupling device 40, with which a workpiece clamping device 45 (not shown) can be connected to the clamping device 12. The coupling device 40 is shown below in relation to Fig. 13 described in more detail.

[0051] Fig. Figure 8 shows an example of the clamping system 10 in a side view, in which the base body 11 is already fixed in position to the machine table or to the workpiece carrier pallet 13 of the machine tool. The clamping device 12 is placed on the base body 11 and can be moved along the arrows shown, i.e., along the longitudinal axis L.

[0052] Fig. Figure 9 shows a cross-sectional view along the section plane CC. Fig. Figure 11 shows a longitudinal section view along the section plane BB and Fig. Figure 13 shows a longitudinal section view along the section plane AA.

[0053] Fig. Figure 9 shows a cross-sectional view of the clamping device 12 with the base body 11, excluding the receiving groove 35, in a clamped state. The base body clamping element 31 of the base body clamping device 20 is clamped against the first side contour 23 of the base body 11 such that the clamping teeth 33 are pressed against the inclined surface 27 of the base body 11. The clamping teeth 33 bear against the inclined surface 27. Due to the inclination of the clamping teeth 33 and the inclined surface 27, the base body clamping element 31 is pressed against the base body 11 like a wedge, thereby pressing the counter surface 38 on the opposite side of the receiving groove 35 against the inclined surface 27' of the base body 11 and the clamping device 12 downwards against the machine table or the workpiece carrier pallet 13.

[0054] Fig. Figure 10 shows a detailed view of the in Fig. 7 circled area designated with the reference symbol Z.

[0055] Fig. Figure 11 shows a longitudinal view along the section plane BB in the clamped state. The clamping teeth 33 of the base body clamping element 31 are adapted to the teeth 28 of the base body 11. Fig. 11 The base body clamping element 31 has several teeth in the tip area 37 which engage in a form-fitting manner in the teeth 28 of the base body 11.

[0056] Fig. Figure 12 shows a detailed view of the base clamping element 31 with the clamping contour 32. In the tip area 37 of the base clamping element 31, the clamping contour 32 with the clamping teeth 33 is formed by an inclined toothing. When the clamping device 12 is clamped to the base body 11, the toothing can be brought into engagement with the teeth 28 of the base body 11.

[0057] Fig. Figure 13 shows a longitudinal section view along the section plane AA. Fig.Figure 13 illustrates the coupling device 40, which allows the workpiece clamping device 45 to be detachably attached to the upper surface 17 of the clamping device 12. The coupling device 40 has several coupling bores 41 through which coupling bolts 46, attached to the underside of the workpiece clamping device 45, can be inserted from above. The coupling device 40 allows the coupling bolts 46 inserted into the coupling bores to be detachably clamped. For this purpose, the coupling device 40 has several coupling pins 42, which are movably mounted (along the transverse axis Q). The coupling pins 42 are mounted such that they can each be inserted laterally into the interior spaces of the coupling bores 41 by actuating the coupling device 40.

[0058] The coupling device 40 has at least one transmission pin 43, which can be moved deep into or out of the bore by means of a screw 44. The movement of the transmission pin 43 is transferred to the coupling pins 42, so that these can be moved into or out of the respective coupling bores 41 by screwing the screw 44 in and out. Two coupling pins 42 are always spring-mounted against each other by a spring element 47.

[0059] The clamping system 10 described above according to the invention operates as follows: To attach the clamping device 12 to the machine table 13, a base body 11 is first fixed to the machine table 13. The base body 11 defines a longitudinal axis L along which the clamping device 12 is slidable. The clamping device 12 is placed onto the base body 11 such that at least a section of the base body 11 is accommodated in the receiving groove 35 of the clamping device 12. The clamping device 12 can now be moved into a desired clamping position P. When the clamping device 12 is in the desired clamping position P, it can be clamped using the base body clamping element 20. The base body clamping element 31 has a clamping contour 33 with a toothed section that is adapted to the inclined surface 27 with the toothed section 28 of the base body 11, so that these engage with each other during clamping.The inclined surface 27 is angled in such a way that when the base clamping element 31 is tightened, a wedge effect is created, whereby the underside 18 of the clamping device 12 is clamped downwards against the top side of the machine table or the workpiece carrier pallet 13, and thus the clamping device 12 is detachably fixed to it.

[0060] The clamping system according to the invention for clamping a workpiece to a machine table or a workpiece carrier pallet 13 of a machine tool comprises at least one elongated base body 11 and at least one clamping device 12, wherein the clamping device 12 can be placed on the base body 11 so that the base body 11 can be received at least partially by the receiving groove 35 of the clamping device 12. The clamping device 12 is movably mounted along the longitudinal axis L defined by the base body 11 by means of the base body 11. Furthermore, the clamping device 12 can be clamped to the base body 11 and / or the machine table or the workpiece carrier pallet 13 by means of the base body clamping device 20.
