Tool dynamometer drilling

This lightweight and practical, four component dynamometer measures the cutting forces in any drilling process. The measured values can be read on the internal display or on a large external display using auto-hold. The PC-based data acquisition is performed over the built-in USB interface with the included software for tool dynamometers. Over the same interface the device parameter setup for wear detection is executed. After the setup, the device is able to supervise a drilling process without a connected PC. With this great properties the device suits multiple educational and industrial applications.

Wear detection

Our tool dynamometers for drilling and turning implement a function for supervising and documentation of wear progress in any cutting process. This is achieved by comparing the Fc/Fp relation. Using our cutting software, the maximum value is teached in by PC. When exceeding the maximum, an alarm occurs. The current distance to the maximum is shown on the internal display in 10%-steps. After wear detection setup, the tool dynamometer is able to work independently from a PC.

 

Internal display

The illuminated, built-in internal display resists burrs and lubricant coolant. It shows the cutting forces, the tool tip temperature and the current wear progress on a 2x16 character dotmatrix display.
 

External large display

The large illuminated external display is connected to the serial data interface of the tool dynamometer and shows the same values as the internal display on a 2x20 character dotmatrix display with the dimensions 50mm x 180mm. The external display recognizes the connected tool dynamometer automatically.
 

Auto-Hold

This function provides manual data acquistion by reading data from the internal or external display. It implements an automatic detection of the stagnation of a cutting process, determines the average value and gives the operator a signal to collect a measuring data record. The operator stops the process. Now the value can be comfortably be read on the display. Disturbance created by scraping chisel is automatically filtered.

printable version Hydrodynamic bearing
 
Hydrodynamic bearing
The hydrodynamic bearing is such a fundamental machine element, that every student should have knowledge about it. This bearing competes with the ball bearing, but the advantages are obvious. Though we meet the hydrodynamic bearing foremost in its cylindrical form, a suitable way to learn about it is the plate form.

The model uses a belt drive that submerges downtrum into an oil reservoir . So transports oil on its surface. Upside a plate is placed which can be inclined and the distance to the belt adjusted. Above the plate a number of glas tubes is arranged having connection with the oil film via small bores. The tubes are graduated so is readable the pressuredistribution of the oilfilm.

 
Hydrodynamic bearing

Parameters which define the portability of the bearing are:

  • inclination angle of the plate
  • thickness of the oilfilm
  • Relative speed
  • viscosity of the oil (often a function of temperature)
 
Hydrodynamic bearing

Attributes of the device:

  • lubrication wedge formed under a plane plate
  • pressure measurement as "oilcoloumn"
  • pressure distribution via 13 bores in the plate
  • variable relativ speed
  • adjusting of the distance and inclination
  • very accurate via excenters and dial gauges
  • device protected agains dirt invasion and oil sprue
 
These relations are determined erperimentally with the device.

printable version Ballspindle
 
Ballspindle
Ballspindles are used to improve the properties of a normal spindle drive with respect to reduction of friction and increase of speed. Ballspindles are very important elements in the drives of toolmachines. They compete today with the direct magnetic drive. The accuracy does not only depends on spindle and nut it also
depends on the bearing of the locked spindle end. To reduce play, the baring and nut can be adjusted stiffer. But not to forget is the fact, that a certain play is simply necessary for lockfree running under temperature expansion. So all this is a question of clean adjustment. This model was made to train this aspects.
 

Description:

The model has got a loading device in the form that a slide can be differently pressed against the traversebolts. The spindledrive now has to overcome the more resistance, the stronger upper and lower slide are screwed together. The handwheel has got the scaling 250. This corresponds to the spindle gradient 2.5 mm The dial gauge 5mm/0.001mm is set axially against the spindlenut to measure play.

 
Experiments:
  • Determination of the spindle gradient
  • Determination of the division of the scaledrum in units of slide feed
  • Determination of spindle play dependant on load and degrees of nut- and bearing compression.
  • Dismounting the device to learn the design of the spindle bearing
