- the geared drive unit comprises an asynchronous motor connected to a reduction box, on the output shaft of which there is a crank with a link block, engaged with a connecting rod acting on a second crank operatively coupled to the splined bar.
- the ratios of the lengths of the arms of the articulated quadrilateral 144 . are selected in an appropriate manner such that the to-and-fro movement of the splined bar 140 takes place at different, speeds according to the angular arc travelled, in the manner described in greater detail below.
- the extreme angles of the rotary movement of the splined bar 140 correspond to the positions of the carriage 110 when it is positioned in the station 114 for the loading of the part 116 and in the station 118 for the discharge thereof.
- the asynchronous motor is controlled by an actuator, for example, a device commonly known as a inverter, so as to enable the carriage 110 to stop when it is in the machining station for sufficient time for the completion of the machining operations on the end of the part 116.
- the articulated quadrilateral is moved by means of a geared motor unit operatively connected to an actuator driven in controlled manner.
- two apparatuses 92 are provided for gripping the part 116 and are slidable on the same base 12 so as to be movable separately towards and away from the head 30 in order to support the part 116 in the vicinity of its ends.
- two machines 10 for machining the ends of parts 116 are arranged facing one another so as to act simultaneously on the two ends of the part, constituting a machining centre 148 ( Figure 5) .
- the two machines 10 are advantageously arranged for sliding on the same framework or base 12.
- Two apparatuses 92 for gripping the part are interposed between the two machines 10.
- the part 116 to be machined is released from the vertical store 130 and is placed on the support and sliding surface 122 between the jaws 124, 126 of the gripper 112.
- the portal structure 94 supporting the apparatus 92 for gripping the part 116 is arranged along the base 12 beforehand in a manner such as to align the support plate 104 with the end of the part 16 to be machined.
- the gripper 112 is clamped onto the end of the part 116 and the carriage 110 is brought into the machining station beneath the clamping device by a rotary movement of the splined bar 140.
- the retractable catch 127 is moved out of the seat in the support plate 104 by a command imparted to the pneumatic device 129 by the control unit 23.
- the travel of the carriage then continues so as to preload the abutment element of the first, shoulder jaw 124 and to unload the second, clamping jaw 126, so that the gripper 112 can open after the part 116 has been clamped.
- the gripper 112 is opened and the carriage 110 is returned.
- the catch ejector 128 moves under the part 116 clamped in the machining position and the carriage 110 returns to the station 114 for the loading of the parts 116.
- the ejector 128 disposed on the end of the carriage 110 urges the part 116 which has already been machined and released from the action of the press 134 towards the unloading station 118.
- the tenoning machine 10 When the part 116 is clamped in the machining position, the tenoning machine 10 is moved along the axis (X-X) so as to bring the head 30 into the vicinity of the machining area.
- the structure for supporting and moving the head 30 and, in particular, the carriage 18 and the pillar 24, will be set back appreciably relative to the end of the part 116, permitting ample setting movements of the tool 86.
- the unit 72 is rotated about the axis (D) in order to bring the chuck 72a and the preselected tool 86 into the setting position.
- the chuck and the tool 86 are set by adjusting the position of the unit 72 and of the corresponding chuck 72a by rotation (or slewing) of the yoke 46 about the first setting axis (B) and swinging (or pitching) of the cradle-shaped guides 70 about the second setting axis (A) .
- the crossed slides 28, the box-like body 38, and the carriage 18 can be moved, by virtue of the controlled movement along the three perpendicular axes (X-X, Z-Z, Y-Y) , so as to move the tool 86 along the desired path.
- Both ends of the part 16 can be machined simultaneously by virtue of the provision of the two facing machines 10 operating simultaneously in the machining centre 148.
- one of the main advantages of the invention is that, by mounting a chuck unit with at least three chucks on the tenoning machine, it is possible to perform several machining operations such as, for example, milling, drilling, cutting, etc. Moreover, the presence of a chuck unit 72 enables more than one machining operation to be performed with a single positioning of the part, achieving very accurate machining and greater production flexibility and speed since the unit 72 simply has to be rotated to bring the preselected tool into the setting position.
- the tool supported by one of the chucks of the unit is moved directly by virtue of the provision of means for angular setting about two perpendicular axes (B, A) extending through the end of the tool.
- the slewing and pitching movements of the unit enable the axis (C) of the tool which is in the setting position to be oriented extremely accurately relative to the end of the part to be machined.
- the motor 54 for the axis (B) of the shaft 48 supporting the yoke 46 or the bracket 150, the motor 78 for the axis (A) of swinging of the cradle-shaped guides 70, and the motor 160 for the transverse pivoting axis (D) of the unit 72 are controlled continuously by the numerical control device 23 so that these axes can also be used as machining axes to produce ends of parts with spatially complex surfaces .
- a further considerable advantage is that the machining movements are performed along linear axes (X-X, Z-Z, Y-Y) which, even though they have considerable dimensions, are very precise.
- the fact that the electric chuck is disposed on the end of a yoke projecting over the machining area or space enables the structure for supporting and moving the head (the carriage 18 and the pillar 24) , as well as the box-like body 38 of the head itself, to be set back considerably, allowing the tool a large degree of freedom of movement .
- the tenoning machine of the invention is consequently much more compact than known machines for a given machining space or, conversely, there is a much larger machining space with the tenoning machine of the invention than with known machines, for given dimensions or overall size.
- the end of the tool is not moved during the movement of the setting axes (A) and (B) so that the setting-up of the tenoning machine is simpler, quicker, and more precise, thus permitting good productivity for both large and small production batches.
- the kinematic drive chains of the axes (X-X, Z-Z and Y-Y) are of simple and precise construction (motors operated in controlled manner and connected directly to screws with recirculating-ball threads without the interposition of any reduction gearing) , permitting improved machining tolerances and extremely high accelerations and speeds of the moving parts.
- the structure for supporting and moving the head 30, comprising the carriage 18, the pillar 24 and the crossed slides 28, is very stiff and strong and, as a result, as well as because all of the axes (X-X, Z-Z, Y-Y) are controlled, its movements are very precise and quick.
- the tenoning machine of the invention is extremely flexible, enabling all of the machining operations to be performed on the ends of furniture parts with a considerable variety in the shapes which can be produced, for example, milling operations and, in particular, tenoning and mortising of any form or shape, and channelling, as well as drilling and polishing. Machining accuracy and flexibility are further increased by virtue of the provision of part-gripping apparatus which is independent of the structure for supporting and moving the head. In particular, the stresses induced by the repeated accelerations along the linear axes (X-X, Z-Z, Y-Y) are not transmitted directly to the part-gripping apparatus.
- the part-gripping apparatus can be arranged in the most suitable position along the base in order to grip parts of complex spatial shapes.
- a device for moving the gripper comprising a rotary drive device rather than a reciprocating one as is suggested by the prior art, enables the part to be loaded and discharged with considerable speed.
- the grippers for positioning the part to be machined can be accelerated and slowed down from the loading station to the machining position and from the machining position to the discharge station, without interrupting the rotation of the motor.
- a portal structure enables the means for clamping the part to be arranged so as not to obstruct the machining head, increasing the machining space .
- Figures 7 and 8 Some possible variants of the head 30 and, in particular, of the chuck unit 72 are shown in Figures 7 and 8.
- Figures 7 and 8 In addition to the head of Figure 2, in which the respective axes of rotation of the three chucks 72a-72c intersect at a point defining the centre of the unit 72 and are arranged at 120° to one another, further embodiments in which the arrangement and/or the number of chucks varies are possible.
- Figure 7 shows a unit 72 with four chucks 72a-72d the respective axes of rotation of which are arranged at 90° to one another.
- the unit 72 may comprise three chucks 72a-72c in which the axes of rotation of two chucks 72a, 72c intersect at a point defining the centre of the unit, whereas the axis of rotation of the remaining chuck 72b is tangential to a circle having its centre at the centre of the unit.
- This latter embodiment in particular achieves considerable advantages, such as easier approach to the part to be machined and quicker positioning, particularly during machining operations perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the part.
- this solution solves the problem of forming cavities in the end of the part, in particular in the case of legs to be coupled with tubular support structures of chairs, etc . , in which the cavities must extend through the entire width of the part and must have longitudinal axes perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the part.
- This situation is in fact impracticable with machining heads as shown in Figures 2 and 7 since the head would be disposed over the part-gripping apparatus during the machining.
- a worm screw connected to a motor fixed rotatably to a shoulder 66 of the yoke 46 and connected by tangential gearing to a rack with helical teeth formed on a side of a cradle-shaped guide 70. This prevents jamming of the drive means caused by the deposition of dirt or chippings on the rack.
- the retractable catch constituting the stop abutment of the machining station is housed in a seat provided in a bracket extending from the upper cross-member 132 of the portal structure 94 towards the support plate 104.
- the tool can be set angularly about a further, third axis (D) .
- the shaft housed in the box-like body 38 of the head 30 supports the bracket 150 in a manner such that it can be set angularly about the axis (B) .
- the bracket 150 has, at its free end, a channel housing a cradle-shaped guide 70 subservient to drive means 76, in the manner described above.
- the chuck unit 72 is connected to the cradle-shaped guide 70 by means of a planetary reduction gear 152 ( Figure 9) .
- the planetary reduction gear 152 enables the electric chuck 72 to rotate about the axis (D) of the reduction gear 152.
- the planetary reduction gear 152 is driven, by means of a pulley 154 fixed to its curved surface, by a belt 156 wound around a pinion 158 fixed to the shaft of a self- braking motor 160 supported on the side of the chuck 72.
- the motor 160 is, for example, of the type known as a brushless motor and is operatively connected to the actuating device 22 with feedback to the numerical control device 23 by means of a position transducer. Rotation of the unit 72 about the axis (D) of the planetary reduction gear 152 brings the respective chucks to the setting position of use (at the centre 74 of the setting axes) .
- the motor 54 for the axis (B) of the support shaft 48 of the yoke 46, or of the bracket 150, the motor 78 for the axis (A) of swinging of the cradle-shaped guides 70, and the motor 160 for the transverse pivoting axis (D) of the unit 72 are controlled continuously by the numerical control device 23 so that they can be used as machining axes to produce ends of parts with spatially complex surfaces.
- the axis (D) for example, the situation is that illustrated in Figure 6 in which the axis (C) of rotation of the chuck 7a during machining does not extend through the centre 74 of setting of the head 30.
