Complete manufacturing of complex components: NILES-SIMMONS machine concept \u201eCLOSED-DOOR-MACHINING\u201c<\/h1>\n

NILES-SIMMONS deve\u00adlo\u00adped the machi\u00adning con\u00adcept \u201cCLOSED-DOOR-MACHINING to meet the ever-incre\u00adasing requi\u00adre\u00adments con\u00adcer\u00adning the manu\u00adfac\u00adtu\u00adring of com\u00adplex, high-pre\u00adcis\u00adion parts and com\u00adpon\u00adents initi\u00adally for the avia\u00adtion industry.<\/p>\n

This con\u00adcept allows the com\u00adplete machi\u00adning of parts in one con\u00adti\u00adnuous pro\u00adcess within one machine and wit\u00adhout any ope\u00adra\u00adtor inter\u00adven\u00adti\u00adons. It is appli\u00adca\u00adble for various part types which, his\u00adto\u00adri\u00adcally, had to be manu\u00adfac\u00adtu\u00adred in seve\u00adral pro\u00adcess steps on various dif\u00adfe\u00adrent machines.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When using the \u201cCLOSED-DOOR-MACHINIG\u201d-concept, a raw part is clam\u00adped into the machine and after seve\u00adral fully-auto\u00adma\u00adtic re-clam\u00adping and re-chuck\u00ading pro\u00adce\u00addu\u00adres, it can be remo\u00adved as a com\u00adple\u00adtely finis\u00adhed part. The machi\u00adning runs enti\u00adrely unin\u00adter\u00adrupted and depen\u00adding on the part com\u00adple\u00adxity shifts can be over\u00adlap\u00adped a num\u00adber of times throug\u00adhout the cycle.<\/p>\n

Since the pro\u00adcess runs fully auto\u00adma\u00adted, the time asso\u00adcia\u00adted with labor-inten\u00adsive part-hand\u00adling pro\u00adce\u00addu\u00adres moving parts bet\u00adween seve\u00adral machi\u00adnes is remo\u00adved and lay down spaces can be redu\u00adced. Simi\u00adlarly, the tasks for ope\u00adra\u00adtors are also redu\u00adced since less machi\u00adnes are requi\u00adred and less ope\u00adra\u00adtor inter\u00adven\u00adti\u00adons are necessary.<\/p>\n

By inte\u00adgra\u00adting all neces\u00adsary tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgies into one machine, such as tur\u00adning, mil\u00adling, dril\u00adling, deep-hole dril\u00adling, bot\u00adtle bor\u00ading thread cut\u00adting, gear hob\u00adbing, power ski\u00adving and grin\u00adding<\/a>, there is no need to use spe\u00adci\u00adfic sin\u00adgle machi\u00adnes, which con\u00adsider\u00ada\u00adbly leads to a much more cost-effi\u00adci\u00adent pro\u00adduc\u00adtion over the long term.<\/p>\n

For the imple\u00admen\u00adta\u00adtion of the con\u00adcept we intro\u00addu\u00adced seve\u00adral new machi\u00adning and mea\u00adsu\u00adring tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgies. In doing so it is now pos\u00adsi\u00adble to achieve extra\u00ador\u00addi\u00adna\u00adrily high accu\u00adra\u00adcies of <5\u00b5m in a pro\u00adcess-relia\u00adble way by the use of scan\u00adned part mea\u00adsu\u00adring through RENISHAW Sprint mea\u00adsu\u00adring sen\u00adsor and auto\u00adma\u00adtic tool com\u00adpen\u00adsa\u00adtion after the mea\u00adsu\u00adre\u00adment cut. As well as Sprint there are also other various touch mea\u00adsu\u00adring sen\u00adsors such as RMP60 or RMP600 fit\u00adted to carry out other mea\u00adsu\u00adre\u00adment tasks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the same time, the mea\u00adsu\u00adre\u00adment of all neces\u00adsary tools also takes place, again fully auto\u00adma\u00adted within the machine using a touch mea\u00adsu\u00adring sys\u00adtem for fixed tools and an optic mea\u00adsu\u00adring sys\u00adtem (laser) for rota\u00adtio\u00adnally sym\u00adme\u00adtric tools.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In order to accom\u00admo\u00addate the large num\u00adber of tools requi\u00adred to-be-used, it is pos\u00adsi\u00adble to con\u00adfi\u00adgure two tool maga\u00adzi\u00adnes head\u00adstock and tail\u00adstock side with a capa\u00adcity of up to 144 tools each to ser\u00advice the multi-axes tur\u00adning-mil\u00adling unit. The tools can be exch\u00adan\u00adged auto\u00adma\u00adti\u00adcally into the working area from eit\u00adher side.<\/p>\n

Alter\u00adna\u00adtively, for spe\u00adci\u00adfic machi\u00adning tasks an addi\u00adtio\u00adnal maga\u00adzine can be applied for the coun\u00adter spindle or tail\u00adstock sided bor\u00ading bar slide. This long tool Maga\u00adzine has a maxi\u00admum of 16 posi\u00adti\u00adons for long tool car\u00adtridges. These long tools are also exch\u00adan\u00adged auto\u00adma\u00adti\u00adcally into the second slide.<\/p>\n

The long tools with up to two meters in length can be ope\u00adra\u00adted with high coo\u00adlant-pres\u00adsure of up to 300 bar and respec\u00adtively with a high flow rate of up to 150 l\/ min. Con\u00adse\u00adquently, any deep-hole dril\u00adling requi\u00adre\u00adment can be achie\u00adved as part of an extre\u00admely sta\u00adble and relia\u00adble pro\u00adcess. The tem\u00adpe\u00adra\u00adture-con\u00adtrol\u00adled coo\u00adlant can be pro\u00adgrammed with both pres\u00adsure- or volume-con\u00adtrol\u00adled and moni\u00adto\u00adred via sensors.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For sur\u00adface opti\u00admiza\u00adtion of the parts, it is also pos\u00adsi\u00adble to inte\u00adgrate grin\u00adding ope\u00adra\u00adti\u00adons in the machine. The grin\u00adding wheel can be exch\u00adan\u00adged, mea\u00adsu\u00adred and dres\u00adsed fully auto\u00adma\u00adted. For spar\u00adking, there are also sen\u00adsors available. The coo\u00adlant, which needs to be posi\u00adtio\u00adned close to the pro\u00adcess, is con\u00adtrol\u00adled and posi\u00adtio\u00adned by a sepa\u00adrate, pro\u00adgramma\u00adble NC-axis.<\/p>\n

A hig\u00adhest equip\u00adped machine with tur\u00adning-mil\u00adling unit, bor\u00ading bar slide, tur\u00adret (bot\u00adtom), main- and coun\u00adter spindle as well as ste\u00adady rests and tool change units can be con\u00adfi\u00adgu\u00adred with up to 32 NC-axes. Due to this com\u00adple\u00adxity, a CAD\/ CAM sys\u00adtem with inte\u00adgra\u00adted post pro\u00adces\u00adsor is essential.<\/p>\n

Fur\u00adther\u00admore, a liquid-coo\u00adled spe\u00adcial con\u00adcrete machine bed is used to achieve hig\u00adher tem\u00adpe\u00adra\u00adture sta\u00adbi\u00adlity and to ensure the reques\u00adted accu\u00adra\u00adcies despite varia\u00adtion of tem\u00adpe\u00adra\u00adture. The machi\u00adning cen\u00adters are also equip\u00adped with dam\u00adping and vibra\u00adtion redu\u00adcing com\u00adpon\u00adents such as FEM opti\u00admi\u00adzed slide-geo\u00adme\u00adtry, hydrau\u00adlic clam\u00adped com\u00adpon\u00adents of the part-axes, dam\u00adping sur\u00adfaces in machi\u00adning direc\u00adtion and rol\u00adler gui\u00addes of the machi\u00adning axes in size 45\/55.<\/p>\n

To ensure a clear and easy ope\u00adra\u00adtion it is used a Sie\u00admens OP 19 panel with addi\u00adtio\u00adnal touch\u00adscreen for pro\u00adcess monitoring.<\/p>\n

The pro\u00adcess secu\u00adrity within the \u201cCLOSED-DOOR-MACHINING \u201c-con\u00adcept is signi\u00adfi\u00adcantly enhan\u00adced through NILES-SIMMONS com\u00adpre\u00adhen\u00adsive soft\u00adware modu\u00adles dri\u00adven by indus\u00adtry 4.0, such as Volu\u00admetric Com\u00adpen\u00adsa\u00adtion Soft\u00adware, spindle modu\u00adla\u00adtion, axis com\u00adpen\u00adsa\u00adtion, tool breakage- and drive monitoring.<\/p>\n
