titanium alloy vertical high-efficiency and high-speed CNC machine tools

large vertical five axis CNC gantry structure surface milling machining center machine tools, when used to process the overall components of large aluminum alloy aircraft, its good openness is favored by aerospace manufacturing users and has been widely used. Similarly, many CNC machine tool manufacturers have inherited the structural design technology of this kind of machine tools and launched a large vertical five axis CNC gantry structure profile milling machining center machine tool for hem-hms processing of titanium alloy integral components

tarkus, a new vertical five axis CNC gantry machining center dedicated to the machining of large titanium alloy hem-hms, which is launched by the Italian jobs company, a large-scale CNC machine tool manufacturer, can be used as a typical example of this kind of machine tool. The machine tool is mainly used for cutting hard alloys such as titanium alloy, stainless steel and aviation high-temperature alloy. The biggest feature is that the gantry of the machine tool adopts a fully enclosed vertical and horizontal double frame structure (dual frame HV structure). Its X-direction gantry frame is fixed, and the x-axis movement is realized through the movement of the workbench. The workpiece is under the gantry frame, and the z-direction gantry frame can move up and down to realize the z-axis movement. The spindle device has no movable parts in the Z direction, and the Z direction movement of the spindle is like the movement of the machine tool itself. In this way, whether the cutting point of the tool is away from or close to the worktable, it is the same for the spindle device, ensuring the high-precision machining quality in the whole z-axis stroke. At the same time, this vertical and horizontal double frame structure design can improve the structural rigidity of the machine tool, with excellent vibration damping performance and stable operation. Tarkus machine tool is equipped with a high rigidity spindle milling head T35 with two rotating shafts mechanically driven and hydraulically clamped. A swing shaft +120 °/-15 °, C rotating shaft 360 ° continuous, spindle power 42kw, torque 1470nm, base speed 270r/min, maximum speed 4000 r/min, tool interface hsk-a100. The machine tool adopts a fully enclosed protective structure design, with an x/y/z working stroke of 3300 (4500)/2100/1000mm and a feed speed of 32m/min; Worktable 3000 × 1500mm, equipped with 70bar high-pressure cooling and lubrication system. The hydraulic clamping force of the milling head is up to 10000nm, which can meet the requirements of 3-coordinate large load processing applications

many manufacturers of large aircraft structural parts, such as Boeing, spirit aviation systems, Ural Boeing manufacturing (UBM), have purchased Ti profiler series machine tools. It is reported that the UBM factory is equipped with up to 6 Ti profiler machine tools, which are mainly used for hem-hsm cutting of high-strength titanium alloy landing gear structural parts of Boeing 777/787 and Airbus A380/a350wxb large aircraft

titanium alloy horizontal high-efficiency high-speed CNC machine tool

in high-efficiency high-speed machining applications, compared with vertical machine tools, horizontal CNC machine tools have obvious advantages:

(1) due to the use of suspended workpiece clamping, it is conducive to chip drop and discharge, which can effectively reduce the secondary cutting of chips and the secondary thermal deformation of workpieces, prolong the service life of tools, and improve the processing quality of parts

(2) it is conducive to the high-pressure and large flow hydraulic cooling system to play a more effective role, speed up chip removal, maintain the running accuracy of the machine tool, extend the service life of the tool, and improve the processing quality of parts

(3) horizontal machine tools are easy to design and realize fully enclosed protection, realize high automatic operation, and have better rigidity at the 2016 German plastic industry exhibition - k2016

therefore, many new titanium alloy high-efficiency and high-speed machine tools adopt horizontal structure. The hypermach h4000 GTI horizontal five axis CNC profile milling center, which is newly launched by MAG Cincinnati company of the United States for the aerospace manufacturing industry and is dedicated to the efficient and high-speed machining of large titanium alloy integral components, can be used as a typical example. Applicable size range of hypermach GTI machine tool 2 × The 4/6/8m wide and long titanium alloy integral structure adopts the structure of fixed column and mobile vertical workbench/tray (x-axis, the other four axes are to control the movement of knives). The fixed column and the foundation bed of x-axis vertical workbench are locked and connected together through four columns, forming a "mouth" shaped closed section structure. This innovative structural layout design is conducive to controlling the thermal deformation of the machine tool, and enables the machine tool to obtain the maximum rigidity during heavy-duty cutting and cutting at the upper space position of the working area, so as to maintain the high rigidity, high quality and high-precision cutting of long and wide workpieces. In order to improve the positioning accuracy and rigidity of the machine tool, the x/y/z linear axis is driven by a water-cooled servo motor to eliminate the influence of heat generated during high-speed movement and high acceleration and deceleration on the positioning accuracy. As the standard configuration of the machine tool, the high-pressure cooling system in the center of the spindle and the external high-pressure large flow cooling and lubrication system ensure the high-performance operation of the spindle, prolong the service life of the tool, improve the processing quality and accuracy of parts, and improve the production efficiency
