Refinement method for top positioning accuracy when machining precision spindles (2)

• Special spherical tip for external finishing

The spherical body is circular in shape and the spherical body is in contact with the tapered hole. The outer spherical final tip is used to position the workpiece in the top clamp position (as shown in Figure 3). The spherical tip can geometrically ensure that the tip and the tip hole always maintain a circumferential line contact state in the positioning section, and even if the two tip holes have a significant taper error and coaxiality error, the circumferential line contact state is not changed. When the spherical tip is used for positioning, the contact stress distribution of the circular section is uniform, the contact stiffness is significantly improved, and the axial displacement of the ground spindle component due to the contact deformation of the positioning surface is substantially eliminated, thereby significantly improving the positional stability of the spindle rotation axis. The roundness of the outer circumference of the main shaft is greatly improved.

• Multiple research on the top hole

The main outer surface of the precision spindle part (such as the spindle journal surface) is generally processed by multiple steps such as rough grinding, semi-finishing, fine grinding, final grinding (super-fine grinding), and should be processed before each grinding process. The top hole is carefully studied to gradually reduce the surface roughness value of the top hole, improve the shape accuracy and coaxiality of the two tip holes, and achieve the purpose of improving the contact precision between the tip and the tip hole.

The precision of the tip hole repair before each grinding process should meet the following requirements: 1 rough grinding outer circle front dressing accuracy: surface roughness Ra 0.63μm or less, with standard tip color inspection, contact area is not less than 60%; 2 half Precision grinding front grinding precision: surface roughness Ra0.32μm, with standard tip color inspection, contact area is not less than 65%; 3 precision grinding outer circle front grinding accuracy: surface roughness Ra0.32μm, working with grinding machine top Coloring inspection, contact area of ​​not less than 75%, and contact at the near end. 4 final grinding outer circle front grinding precision: surface roughness Ra0.32μm, using a special final grinding spherical working tip with abrasive grinding and coloring inspection on the final grinding machine, the contact area is not less than 95%; at the same time should ensure the constant temperature processing conditions (20 ± 1 °C).

3 Conclusion

The process test shows that by performing multiple repairs on the top hole and using spherical top grinding before the outer round final grinding, the quality of the top hole can be significantly improved, and the precision of the top positioning can be refined. The spherical tip is easy to manufacture, use and maintain, and the grinding quality is high, so that the contact area can be stabilized to more than 95%, and it is easy to ensure contact at the near end. By adopting the refinement measures of the top positioning accuracy, the precision of the outer circle of the precision spindle parts is obviously improved, and the dispersion range of the roundness error is reduced (can be stabilized within 0.005 mm), which ensures the processing qualification rate of the precision spindle parts.
