The holder 3 may be adjustable with respect to its position to the support means 2 about at least a first axis of rotation C.
As stated, the working head 1 may comprise an electrospindle tool carrier assembly 4 carried by an electrospindle holder 3. The electrospindle tool carrier assembly 4 may in particular comprise a spindle axis for rotating the tool carrier spindle. The spindle axis can be at least by the regulation about the first axis of rotation C and / or about a second axis of rotation A, which is transverse to the first axis of rotation C, pivotable.
The support means 2 may carry first drive means (for example comprising a first electric motor 5) mounted to drive regulation of the electrospindle support 3 about the first axis of rotation C. The electrospindle holder 3 may support second drive means (which may comprise, for example, a second electric motor 6) for driving the rotation of the electrospindle assembly 4 about the second axis of rotation A.
The second drive means (second motor 6 or motor axis A) may in particular comprise a torque motor. As is known, includes
Torque motor (torque motor) usually a special brushless synchronous motor with permanent magnets (with direct drive). The second drive means (second motor 6 or motor axis A) may in particular comprise stator means 7 which are connected (fixedly) to the electrospindle holder 3.

The stator means 7 and the rotor means 8 may be configured as in Figures 3, 4, 5 and 7 so that the magnetic flux flows substantially in a direction (axial flow) parallel to the second axis A from one means to the other.
The stator means 7 may in particular comprise at least one first stator ring 11 which is connected (fixedly) to the holder 3. The electromagnetic winding means 9 may, as in the example in FIGS. 3-5, comprise windings which are mounted on the first stator ring 11.
The rotor means 8 may comprise a disc 12, which in turn comprises at least a first, the first stator ring 11 facing side. The permanent magnet means 10 may in particular comprise at least a first arrangement of magnets on the first side of the disk 12.
In particular, as in the example of FIGS. 3-5, the stator means 7 may comprise at least one second stator ring 13 which is connected (fixedly) to the holder 3. The second stator ring 13 may be spaced from the first stator ring 11 in a direction parallel to the second axis A. The electromagnetic winding means 9 may comprise windings mounted on the second stator ring 13.
The disk 12 may be mounted between the first stator ring 11 and the second stator ring 13, as in this example. The disk 12 may in particular have at least one second side facing the second stator ring 13. The second side of the disc 12 may lie on the opposite side of the first side.
The permanent magnet means 10 may in particular have at least one second arrangement of magnets on the second side of the disk 12.
As in these examples, the stator means 7 may comprise at least one annular, for example essentially toroidal, stator element (for example with a rectangular cross section). On at least one side of the stator element, one or more grooves for receiving the electromagnetic winding means can be achieved. The grooves can be arranged radially. The grooves can be slightly inclined to reduce the cogging torque.
The permanent magnet means 10 may in particular comprise a plurality of (magnetized in the axial direction) permanent magnets which are housed in grooves on the two opposite sides of the (for example made of non-magnetic material) disc 12 and protrude on both sides of the disc 12.
The working head 1 may in particular comprise angular position sensors (for example an encoder) for detecting at least one angular position of the rotor means 8. In particular, the working head 1 may include programmable electronic control means equipped with computer program instructions and configured to control the position of the second axis A based on at least one signal output from the angular position sensors.
The first drive means (first motor 5 or motor axis C) may in particular comprise a second torque motor. The first drive means (first motor 5 or motor axis C) may in particular comprise second stator means 14 which are connected (fixedly) to the holders 2.

The first drive means (drive axis C) may in particular comprise second permanent magnet means 17 which are mounted on the second rotor means 15. The second rotor means 15 may in particular comprise at least one rotor coaxial with the first axis C. The second stator means 14 may for example comprise an annular, with respect to the second rotor means 15 external part. The annular external part may in particular be coaxial with the second rotor means 15. The second stator means 14 may be configured and arranged with respect to the second rotor means 15 so that the magnetic flux substantially in the radial direction with respect to the first axis C flows from one to the other (radial flow).
The electric spindle assembly 4 can be directly connected to the rotor means 8 of the second motor 6 (motor axis A) without the use of transmission means. Therefore, the second axis A is controlled with a direct drive.
The second drive means (drive the second axis A) can be used for the rotatable
Coupling of the second axis A with the holder 3 with roll-holding means (rolling bearings) are connected.
The second drive means (second axis drive A) may be operatively connected to the sensor means (encoders) used to feedback control the angular position of the second axis A.
In the example, according to FIGS. 3-5, the second drive means (second motor 6 or drive axis A) comprise a multi-stage axial flux motor, in this case two stator elements (which comprise the first and second stator rings 11 and 13) and one rotor element (the comprising the disk 12). The use of several stator and / or rotor elements makes it possible to increase the effective area for torque generation (increasing the torque density) for the same volume. In other words, the structure with two stator elements (with the same diameter) can achieve two effective areas for generating torque, which leads to a corresponding increase in the torque density.
FIG. 7 shows an example of a single-stage axial flow motor (only one stator element and one rotor element) which can be used in non-illustrated examples as a first torque motor (drive C axis) and / or as a second torque motor (drive A axis) , In other, not shown examples, an axial flux motor with two stator elements, in particular as used in the example of Figures 3-5 as a second torque motor (drive axis A), as the first torque motor (drive axis C) can be used. In other, not shown examples, a radial flux motor, in particular as used in Fig. 6 as in the example of FIG. 3-5 as the first torque motor (drive axis C) used as a second torque motor (drive axis A).
As in other examples, not shown, all possible combinations of various torque motors (radial flux motor, single-stage axial flow motor, multi-stage axial flow motor, etc.) can be used as the first torque motor (drive C axis) and as the second torque motor (drive A axis).
The permanent magnet means of the examples cited in this specification may comprise magnets which are coated with an electrically insulating material (in particular ferromagnetic material, for example ferrite) to protect the magnets from the danger of possible demagnetization, for example in field weakening operations. The coating of the magnets (for example, with ferromagnetic material) allows for existing demagnetizing
Stator currents provide effective field weakening of the motor as alternative paths are created for the flux generated by the magnets.
The torque motors described herein may include coolant (eg, liquid coolant).
The axis (second axis A) which directly supports the electrospindle assembly 4 is driven (with direct drive) via a torque motor, in particular an axial flux motor, in particular a multi-stage axial flux motor (comprising, for example, a rotor element between the two stator elements). This structure, with which an effective drive of the electrospindle assembly 4 is possible (for machining machining), is housed in an appropriate space, which is available in the context of a working head with two axes of rotation.
The direct drive also allows a high dynamic response to the rotation regulation of the electrospindle assembly (about axis C and / or about axis A), avoiding fly-reading due to backlash and yielding of a possible mechanical transmission system. By using at least one three-phase motor, moreover, the rotational speed of the electrospindle assembly can be uniformly and regularly modulated.
