Centreless machine MTC 500 R for tapered rollers
The machine is designed to grind tapered rollers and consists of the following groups:
- Machine structure
- Grinding wheel slide
- Roller support blade
- Regulating wheel slide
- Grinding wheel dressing system
- Feeding system
- Machine control system
- Guarding
- Cooling system
- Electrical cabinet
Machine structure is made with an electro-welded cast iron structure, stabilized, that carries all mechanical groups, utilities, pneumatic, electric and hydraulic systems. It sits on rubber adjustable shoes to allow the machine positioning and alignment.
The machine cabinet is designed to avoid undesired spills but in any case a steel tray is always part of the supply.
The machine structure carrys the slides for the grinding and regulating wheels as well as the support blade.
The pneumatic system and the lubrication system are located on the main machine structure to allow quick and safe adjustments and controls by the production operators and setters.
The grinding wheel is a Carborundum Universal resinoid type with the following specifications:
- Outer diameter: 610 mm
- width: 600 mm
- inner diameter: 304 mm
- maximum cutting speed: 45 m/s
It is located on a hydrostatic slide moved by a system composed by a brushless motor and a ball screw of Umbra.
The slide is designed to ensure trouble free operation and easy scheduled maintenance. The grinding wheel is mounted on a hydrodynamic spindle , equipped with a self balancing unit.
The slide is equipped with automatic lubrication system controlled by the electronics to ensure proper operation condition and production accuracy.
The rollers are supported, during machining, by a steel support blade located in fixed position on the machine structure. Such blade is designed with hard wear resistant carbide inserts that ensure long life operation and high quality on machined parts.
The rollers are supported, during machining, by a steel support blade located in fixed position on the machine structure. Such blade is designed with hard wear resistant carbide inserts that ensure long life operation and high quality on machined parts.
The blade is mounted with suitable spacers to adjust the roller position inside the grinder and to achieve the best working geometry.
Those spacers are interchangeable to allow different blade installation and to compensate normal blade consumption during operation and periodical refurbishment. A multiple bolt locking system ensures the maximum stiffness and vibration free operation.
The second main machine hydrostatic slide takes care to support the regulating wheels and related systems. It is moved by a brushless motor and a ball screw system, sized to ensure a long life and low maintenance operation.
The regulating wheel support system ensures a quick change over and allows also vertical and angular adjustments for an optimal setup and fine adjustment even in case of minor geometrical variations in the tooling set, usual during normal production, frequent tooling repair and machine setup.
Those adjustment systems is equipped with measuring gauges to ensure a reliable and repetitive positioning during change overs and normal operations. The Carborundum Universal regulating wheel is acted by brushless motor and an angular gearbox and is able to run from 0 to 1000 RPM.
The grinding wheel dressing device is located on the grinding wheel slide. It is composed by two cross-mounted high precision hydrostatic slides. Both slides are controlled by brushless motors and roller screws and take care of the longitudinal movement of the dressing device on the grinding wheel and the dressing compensation.
To guarantee a perfect wheel profile the dressing device position is controlled by a template that avoid undesired vibrations, therefore low dressing quality. The system is designed to mount both single point, blade or cluster type diamonds and is equipped with an automatic device rotation system.
The raw rollers are loaded into the machine using a roller pump. Their ingress into the regulating wheel, therefore in the grinding process, is acted by a rubber block and hydraulic actuator.
This system guarantees trouble free operation and just requires size specific components to ensure a quick change over.
The electronic control system is designed to fully control all machine functions and setup. The CNC takes care of the following operations:
- grinding wheel positioning and fine size adjustment;
- regulating wheel horizontal positioning;
- grinding wheel dressing cycle;
- grinding wheel cutting speed;
- regulating wheel feeding speed;
- size compensation using external measuring devices.
The pneumatic unit and related components are positioned on the machine base, together with the lubrication system. The CNC and the control keyboard and buttons are located in a hanging air cooled cabinet directly connected to the machine frame.
A box with emergency stop button and manual size adjustments is located on the machine side, to allow quick manual adjustment, if required.
The system is designed to store all produced p/n data with a maximum of 50 p/ns. In any case the Customer has opportunity to choose the produced p/n from a list and all machining parameters are automatically recalled to set the machine.
The machine guarding is equipped with an exhaust tube to allow oil mist evacuation with local or central systems. The machine enclosure is designed to guarantee total safety protection during operation, according to latest international standards. The enclosure is designed to prevent cooling fluid spills as well.
The machine is equipped with opening doors and inspection safety windows. During normal grinding operation the machine doors are automatically interlocked to prevent any undesired risk for operators and setters. The door interlocks aren’t released until the spindle has completely stopped and the cooling flow has been switched off.
The piece cooling and chip removal during machining is guaranteed by the coolant supply system. The machine is equipped with a main valve and a distribution manifold. The coolant flow is provided by the Customer system at the desired pressure.
Two main circuits supply the coolant to the machining zone using metal nozzle blade and/or shoe tipe.mTwo secondary circuits provide periodical machine cleaning to remove metal chips and swarf.
The machine structure acts as a tray and the used coolant is recovered from the machine bottom by gravity. No auxiliary tank or pump is part of this supply.
The machine is fed by a 5 bar compressed dry air system. A safety control system prevents operations in case the air pressure drops below a minimum value.
A cooled electrical cabinet contains all equipments and is positioned close to the machine main body. At least 25% free space is available inside the cabinet.
The grinding machine change-over time will take no longer than 60 minutes
Following the rough grinder a belt conveyor ensures the transportation of the machined rollers to the pre-finish centerless machine. It is a special rubber type straight conveyor and is equipped with the following features:
- sensors to detect presence/absence of rollers;
- system to detect inverted rollers;
- contrast wheel system to ensure roller feeding to the pre-finish machine, avoiding any additional belt;
- automatic roller gauge system.
The roller conveyor is connected to the rough and pre-finish grinder in a way to ensure a quick change over time. The roller conveyor electrical and control systems is located in the rough centerless grinder electrical cabinet.
The conveyor change-over time takes no longer than 10 minutes.
This roller gauge system, positioned on the roller conveyor, is responsible to keep the roller race size inside the required tolerances, communicating with the rough centerless grinder machine CNC to adjust the machining size according live roller measurement.
The system is designed with an universal gauging system based on Marposs LVDT probe and electronic unit and uses p/n specific measurement shoes.
During normal operation, with a specified frequency according roller size and cycle time, a machined component is automatically picked up from the conveyor and positioned on the measurement shoe. The Marposs gauge automatically detects the roller body size and the difference between the actual measurement and the nominal value.
The system is able to automatically compensate for size differences if the rollers are found inside the required tolerances and, in case the rollers are outside those specifications, to manage at the same time the machine control and the scrap of out of conformance rollers.
The measurement frequency is set to ensure reliable process without requiring a time consuming 100% control.
The roller gauge control systems is located in the hanging cabinet directly connected to the machine frame and that contains the CNC main panel.
The gauge system change-over time takes no longer than 10 minutes.
