KoordinatenmeßgerätCoordinate measuring machine
Ein Koordinatenmeßgerät konventioneller Bauart besteht aus mehreren orthogonal aufeinanderfolgenden gegenseitig verschieblichen Bauteilen dergestalt, daß ein als Taster (12) bezeichnetes Bauelement in drei Raumkoordinaten so geführt werden kann, daß jeder beliebige Raumpunkt innerhalb eines als Meßvolumen bezeichneten Raumes von diesem Taster erreicht werden kann.A coordinate measuring machine of conventional design consists of several orthogonally successive, mutually displaceable components in such a way that a component referred to as a probe (12) can be guided in three spatial coordinates in such a way that any spatial point within a space referred to as the measuring volume can be reached by this probe.
In Fig. 1 ist eine mögliche Ausbildung eines Koordinatenmeßgerätes dargestellt, bei der ein Tisch (1) gegenüber einem Grundbett (2) verschieblich gelagert ist und damit die X — Achse repräsentiert. Die am Grundbett (2) fest angebrachten Stützen (4) sind durch eine Traverse (6) verbunden, die den auf ihr verschieblich gelagerten Schlitten (7) trägt. Dieser repräsentiert die Y - Achse. Im Schlitten (7) selbst ist eine Pinole (8) verschieblich gelagert, die die Z - Achse repräsentiert.Fig. 1 shows a possible design of a coordinate measuring machine in which a table (1) is mounted so that it can move relative to a base bed (2) and thus represents the X axis. The supports (4) firmly attached to the base bed (2) are connected by a cross member (6) which carries the slide (7) which is mounted so that it can move. This represents the Y axis. A sleeve (8) which represents the Z axis is mounted so that it can move in the slide (7).
Außer dieser nur beispielhaft gezeigten Ausbildung sind Konstruktionen bekannt, bei denen die X —Achse statt durch den beweglichen Tisch (1) durch bewegliche Stützen (4) dargestellt werden. Ebenso sind statt der in Fig. 1 gezeigten vertikalen Pinole (8) horizontale Pinolen bekannt, die vertikale Achse wird dann durch den sie tragenden Schlitten dargestellt.Apart from this design, which is shown only as an example, there are known constructions in which the X axis is represented by movable supports (4) instead of the movable table (1). Likewise, instead of the vertical spindle (8) shown in Fig. 1, horizontal spindles are known, the vertical axis is then represented by the carriage that supports it.
Es ist bekannt, einzelne Komponenten ernes solchen Koordinatenmeßgerätes aus unterschiedlichen Materialien herzustellen, um bestimmte Eigenschaften dieser Materialien auszunutzen. So ist beispielsweise in dem in Fig. 1 dargestellten Koordinatenmeßgerät das Grundbett (2) sowie die Traverse (6) aus Granit, während die Stützen (4), der Schlitten (7) und die Pinole (8) aus Stahl gefertigt werden. Der Tisch (1), der innerhalb des Grundbettes (2) mittels einer Schwalbenschwanzfuhrung beweglich gelagert ist, besteht ebenfalls aus Granit. AJs Materialien für einzelne Bauteile ist ebenfalls Aluminium, sowie Polymerbeton, Kohlefaserverbundwerkstoflfe und Aluminiumoxidkeramik bekannt geworden. Die Verwendung von Aluminiumoxidkeramik beschränkte sich in der Vergangenheit allerdings auf die Pinole (8). Der Grund dafür liegt in einer gewissen Sprödigkeit von Aluminiumoxid, sowie des thermischen Ausdehnungskoeffizienten von ca, (5 - 7) * 10"6ZK in Verbindung mit einer für elektrische Isolatoren charakteristischen sehr geringen Wärmeleitfähigkeit. Insbesondere der Schlitten (7), sowie die Traverse (6) und die Stutzen (4) sind bisher nicht als aus Keramik gefertigt bekannt geworden.It is known to manufacture individual components of such a coordinate measuring machine from different materials in order to exploit certain properties of these materials. For example, in the coordinate measuring machine shown in Fig. 1, the base bed (2) and the crossbeam (6) are made of granite, while the supports (4), the slide (7) and the sleeve (8) are made of steel. The table (1), which is movably mounted within the base bed (2) by means of a dovetail guide, is also made of granite. AJ's materials for individual components are also known to be aluminum, as well as polymer concrete, carbon fiber composite materials and aluminum oxide ceramics. In the past, however, the use of aluminum oxide ceramics was limited to the sleeve (8). The reason for this lies in a certain brittleness of aluminum oxide, as well as the thermal expansion coefficient of approx. (5 - 7) * 10" 6 ZK in conjunction with a very low thermal conductivity characteristic of electrical insulators. In particular, the slide (7), as well as the cross member (6) and the nozzles (4) have not previously been known to be made of ceramic.
Mittlerweile ist von der Firma Coorstek eine Aluminiumoxidkeramik; mit sehr geringem thermischen Ausdehnungskoeffizienten von 2 * 10"6ZK lieferbar, ein Material mit einem Ausdehnungskoeffizienten von 0.2 * 10"6ZK ist als Prototyp bereits vorhanden und wird in Kürze lieferbar sein. Die Fertigung der Elemente Stützen (4), Traverse (6), Schlitten (7) und Pinole (8) aus diesem Material bringt den Vorteil, daß die Koordinatenmeßmaschine auf die Veränderung äußerer Temperatureinflüsse nur noch äußerst geringfügig mit Strukturveränderungen reagiert, was den Einsatz dieser Maschine in rauhen Fertigungsumgebungen ohne weitere technische Kunstgriffe zur Kompensation dieser Strukturveränderungen ermöglicht.Coorstek now offers an aluminum oxide ceramic with a very low thermal expansion coefficient of 2 * 10" 6 ZK; a material with an expansion coefficient of 0.2 * 10" 6 ZK is already available as a prototype and will be available shortly. Manufacturing the supports (4), crossbeam (6), slide (7) and quill (8) from this material has the advantage that the coordinate measuring machine only reacts very slightly to changes in external temperature influences with structural changes, which enables the use of this machine in harsh production environments without any further technical tricks to compensate for these structural changes.
