Complete machining of sealing surfaces, bearing surfaces and bearing seats on the lathe
(PresseBox) - Radial seals, bearing surfaces and bearing seats on shafts and axles must be machined absolutely cylindrically and scroll-free. In order to meet these close tolerance specifications, most hardened parts are transferred from the lathe to the grinding machine for final machining. With the rotational turning technology that offers special kinematics between the rotating workpiece and a rotating tool, grinding can be eliminated and the parts can be completely machined on the lathe. The benefits of this new technology for the customer are clear: Reclamping and idle times are limited; the grinding machine can be saved. And as a consequence, there are no costs for the disposal of the grinding slags.
The manufacturing method patented by the Weisser & Söhne Werkzeugmaschinenfabrik in combination with the MAPAL tool technology with HSK-T interface offers the user the greatest possible benefits. High-precision inserts with a large working length, stable mounting of the inserts in a compact body and the optimum PcBN cutting material are the characteristic elements of the MAPAL turning tools.
The key factor here is the large length of the insert. Combined with the contact angle, it gives the MAPAL tools a possible effective machining length of up to 45 mm, with which surface roughnesses of < Rz 2 and radial run-out accuracies of 3 µm are achieved. The product range offers VDI and HSK-T connections in versions as single-carrier with one insert or as double-carrier with two inserts. Depending on the machining allowance, tools with one insert rough and finish-machine the workpiece in one machining step or in two machining steps with different stock removal rates. With double-carrier tools, one insert is used for the pre-machining and an identical insert for the finishing operation. That boosts the process reliability and increases the tool life. The MAPAL tools can be installed vertically or horizontally, depending on the workpiece.
For example, a gear wheel hardened to 58-60 HRc with a root length to be machined of 25 mm is machined using the MAPAL tool technology. A horizontally mounted single carrier with HSK-T connection is used. The total machining allowance of 0.18 mm is removed in two working steps. The roughing (ap = 0.15 mm) is performed with a feed rate fz of up to 0.7 mm and a cutting speed of 200 m/min. The same insert then performs the finishing with fz 0.4 mm and vc 240 m/min. With the conventional turning process, feed rates of only 0.1 ? 0.2 mm could be achieved. The blade today reliably achieves a tool life of 2,000 parts. Of particular note, however, is the machining time per part: It totals just 6 seconds.
Compared with conventional machining, rotational turning allows a reduction in the machining times of more than 70% ? with higher process reliability and longer tool life.
MAPAL Dr. Kress KG ? a medium-size family business ? has been one of world's the leading providers of precision tools for decades. With a strong focus on the fine machining of bores in cubic parts, MAPAL is the major specialist worldwide for innovative machining solutions of the highest quality, precision and cost-effectiveness. Since the founding of the business in 1950, MAPAL has grown quickly. The original specialisation on the guided single-bladed reamer became a specialisation in complete machining processes due to the expansion of the product range and the enlargement of the MAPAL Group.
The headquarters in Aalen continue to form the "home base" for the business, the core competences of the corporate group are concentrated here. In addition, all the competence centres responsible for the various product areas have their base in Germany. Today MAPAL is represented internationally by wholly-owned subsidiaries in 21 countries worldwide. These companies predominantly produce for the local market and provide customer service on site, in this way they ensure short reaction times. Today the corporate group employs more than 4,100 employees, of these there are more than 2,700 employees in Germany. MAPAL is present in 25 countries via representatives.
