Definitions

  • EP 3 278 923 A1 belongs to the state of the art and DE 10 2016 213841A1 describes a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the suction device ensures that it sucks in the top layer. This ensures that any vibrations of the top layer caused by the processing unit are dampened or avoided by their suction. In this way, the processing of the workpiece can be controlled much more precisely, since vibrations in the top layer can no longer cause the processing unit to possibly damage parts of the top layer.
  • the suction device is preferably also only arranged in the region of the machining tool. This means that the suction device does not assume a suction clamping function or the like, but is only used more or less locally at the point on the upper side of the workpiece where the corresponding processing unit is located on the underside.
  • the device according to the invention is designed in such a way that the suction device can be displaced as a function of the displacement of the processing tool. This displacement preferably runs in a direction parallel to the top layer of the workpiece. More preferably, a control device is provided for this purpose, which can be part of the device according to the invention and causes the displacement of the suction device depending on the movement of the processing tool or the underfloor processing unit.
  • the main suction direction of the suction device runs parallel to the axis of rotation of the processing tool. Since the tool is moved in the direction of the top layer during the machining process during chip removal, the distance between the top layer held or sucked in by the suction device and the tip of the machining tool can be determined and controlled particularly easily.
  • the suction device comprises a suction section and the device, in particular the suction device, further comprises at least one feeler shoe spaced apart from the suction section for resting on a surface of the workpiece to be machined. The feeler shoe then serves as a reference for controlling the position of the machining tool.
  • the suction section does not have to lie directly on the surface of the workpiece, it can be provided that it has a support element or a plurality of support elements for supporting the suction section on a workpiece surface.
  • the suction section itself can be designed as a support element.
  • At least one, preferably a plurality, of the support elements can/can be designed to be exchangeable. For example, an adaptation to corresponding workpiece surfaces can take place.
  • the suction can take place in such a way that a relative movement between the workpiece and the suction device is still possible. Provision can preferably be made for the cover layer to be pulled by the suction device in an area adjacent to the material to be removed by the machining tool being held. In this way, an oscillation or vibration of the cover layer is prevented precisely in those areas where the tool acts on the workpiece from the side of the cover layer facing away from the suction device.
  • the machine control constantly determines the distance of the tool tip to the top layer, in particular to a feeler shoe lying on the top layer, so that the further feed of the tool in the direction of the top layer is controlled by the machine control depending on a defined minimum distance, which ideally corresponds exactly to the thickness of the top layer and can be stopped if necessary.
  • a depth for the removal of material is specified as a target value, with the actual distance between the suction device acting on the cover layer and/or a feeler shoe resting on the cover layer on the one hand and the processing tool on the other hand being determined and the actual distance being compared with the target value will.
  • Step b is preferred. terminated when the setpoint is reached.
  • step b it can be provided that the processing tool is moved away from the cover layer. The workpiece can then be removed from the fixture.
  • the processing tool is moved in a direction parallel to the top layer.
  • the suction device is carried along with the movement of the processing tool in the same direction parallel to the top layer.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 an exemplary workpiece 1 is shown, which with the device according to the invention or the process according to the invention can be produced.
  • Z designates the vertical direction
  • X and Y are the two spatial directions that run parallel to the workpiece surface or parallel to its cover layer 10 .
  • the workpiece 1 itself is a panel-shaped workpiece, for example made of wood or wood substitutes, but can also be made of plastics or, for example, be a lightweight panel or honeycomb panel.
  • a recess 12 is to be made in the workpiece, in which, in the example shown, a sink, for example, is to be mounted on the workpiece 1 from the underside of the workpiece.
  • 14 designates the actual core layer or carrier layer of the plate
  • 10 is a cover layer applied to the upper side, which can usually be a few tenths of a millimeter to a few millimeters thick.
  • the cover layer 10 has a recess 11 below which a sink, not shown here, is to be attached.
  • the solution according to the invention is figure 4 pictured.
  • the workpiece 1 lies on the supports 4 and the cover layer 10 lies on top in the example shown.
  • the tool 20 is advanced from the underside in the direction Z of the cover layer 10, as a result of which the opening 13 and the recess 12 are formed.
  • a recess 11 is contained in the cover layer 10 in this example. However, this does not have to be included.
  • the detail A is in various embodiments of the invention in the Figures 5 to 9 shown.
  • FIG 5 one recognizes the processing tool 20 and a suction device 21, which acts on the cover layer 10 of the workpiece 1 and on the core layer or carrier layer 14 is attached.
  • the suction device 21 preferably uses the Bernoulli effect by blowing air through a channel 22 in the direction of the arrow P1 into the area between the suction section 23 serving as the outer wall and the suction section 24 serving as the inner wall.
  • the annular gap between the suction sections 23 and 24 tapers towards the underside (towards the object to be sucked--in this case towards the cover layer 10--) and exits again laterally above the cover layer (P2, P3).
  • the cover layer is sucked in in the area 10a that protrudes over the core layer 14 here, so that a force F is exerted on the cover layer 10 or 10a away from the tool 20 by the resulting negative pressure.
  • support elements 23a and 23b designed as spacers are provided on the underside of the suction section 23, which create a minimum gap between the suction section 23 and the cover layer 10, 10a, so that the air P2 blown into the suction device 21 via the channel 22 escapes parallel to the cover layer 10 can.
  • the suction device 21 holds the top layer 10 during the machining process, so that vibration caused by the machining unit 20 is largely suppressed.
  • the variant shown are provided on both sides and at a distance from the suction section 23 feeler shoes 25 .
  • these feeler shoes 25 can also be a single circumferential feeler shoe, which partly or completely surrounds the suction section 23 .
  • Such a feeler shoe 25 rests on the surface of the cover layer 10 and defines a zero line from which the machine control continuously detects and determines the distance between the tip of the tool 20 and this zero line. In this way, it can be ensured that the top layer 10 that is sucked in is not damaged by the tip of the tool 20 when the material is removed.
  • Supporting elements 23a and 23b can also be provided in this variant, but do not have to be.
  • the recess 12 is located between two sections of the carrier layer 14.
  • the device according to the invention can also be used to process areas in which material is to be removed at the edge of a plate-shaped workpiece 1, so that at the end of the process a cover layer 10a protruding at the edge is formed.
  • Such an example is in figure 8 shown.
  • the remaining components shown correspond to those of the previous embodiments.
  • the in figure 8 double feeler shoe or circumferential feeler shoe still shown is not absolutely necessary. Rather, it is sufficient, as in the embodiment of figure 9 is shown, a feeler shoe 25 for resting on the cover layer 10 is only provided on the side on which the carrier layer 14 is also present.
  • the machining tool 20 or the underfloor machining unit having it can be moved parallel to the cover layer 10 by means of a control device in the directions X, Y.
  • the control device of the device according to the invention is designed in such a way that the suction device is also carried along with the movement of the processing tool 20 or the underfloor processing unit that has it, so that the area on which the processing takes place on the underside of the workpiece 1 is always on the corresponding opposite Top of the cover layer 10 is also the suction device. This ensures that vibrations in the immediate vicinity of the machining tool 20 are dampened or avoided by the suction device 21 .
