    [0004] Technical sector
    [0005]
    [0006] The present invention is related to the suppression, or attenuation, of the vibrations produced during the machining processes in machine tools, such as milling machines or boring machines, which incorporate a mobile cantilever element that carries a work tool (ram or RAM). The invention proposes a machine tool with an inertial active damping system that is arranged on the ram in the vicinity of the cutting point, occupying a minimum space and without obstructing the machining operations of the machine.
    [0007]
    [0008] State of the art
    [0009]
    [0010] In recent years the machine tool sector tends to evolve towards solutions that allow greater productivity, improve the quality of the parts obtained and save costs. In this sense, the attenuation or suppression of autoregenerative or chatter vibrations, during machining, is becoming very important.
    [0011]
    [0012] The mechanical structures of the machine tools vibrate during machining operations, and autoregenerative vibrations may appear, which due to their nature can be detrimental to the surface quality of the final piece and to the integrity of the components of the machine itself, and that, In addition, they can cause premature wear of the cutting tool, or even its breakage.
    [0013]
    [0014] Machine tools equipped with cantilever moving elements, such as milling machines or boring machines that incorporate a ram (RAM), have a dynamic response that depends on the working position. The distribution of masses, as well as the flexibility measured at the tip of the tool, vary depending on the position in which the mobile elements that make up the structure of the machine are. The ram being the most flexible element, its position largely determines the behavior of the machine. Thus, when the tool interacts against the part during the cutting process, the machine can behave very differently depending on the position of the ram, being able to produce strong variations in the cutting capacity of the machine.
    [0015]
    [0016] The dynamic response of any mechanical structure depends on the distribution of masses, the rigidity of the vibration modes, and the intrinsic damping to each of these modes, with the damping increase being especially effective in improving dynamic stiffness.
    [0017]
    [0018] Various methods are known that allow adding damping to a mechanical structure, among these methods are both the use of passive and active dampers.
    [0019]
    [0020] Passive dampers consist of a suspended mass attached to the structure to be damped by a flexible damped joint. The natural frequency of the passive damper is tuned to match the natural frequency of the structure to be damped. However, these passive dampers lose effectiveness when the dynamic parameters of the structure to be damped vary. Generally they are not very effective in the case of machines with variable dynamics, since they require a different tuning depending on the working position. In addition to achieve some effectiveness, the mass of the system is usually large, and consequently also the volume of the damper, making its integration into the machine difficult.
    [0021]
    [0022] Active dampers can overcome this problem thanks to their adaptability to dynamically changing media. These consist of sensors that measure the vibration produced and actuators that allow the introduction of a force opposite to the vibration, thus generating the damping effect. In the case of inertial active dampers, this force is obtained by accelerating a moving mass that is suspended in the structure to be damped, so that when the moving mass is accelerated in the required direction a force of inertia is generated that reduces the amplitude of the vibration in the machine tool. For example, the article by Cowley and Boyle published in 1970 discloses the use of a system that measures vibration by means of an accelerometer and generates a setpoint that is introduced into an inertial actuator that produces the damping effect on the structure of a machine tool. "Cowley, A .; Boyle, A .; Active dampers for machine tools; Annals of the CIRP, vol. 18, pp. 213-222, 1970."
    [0023] Although active dampers are a suitable solution to dampen vibrations in machines that have mobile cantilever elements such as the ram, the problem lies in the integration of the damping system into the machine. It is known that the damping system must be as close as possible to the cut-off point to be effective, that is, it must be as close to the head that carries the machining tool, however the space restrictions in this area of the machine They are very high.
    [0024]
    [0025] A solution that integrates a machine damping system is described in document ES2425994B1, which discloses a machine tool that incorporates an inertial actuator in the cutting head. Although this solution allows to improve the dynamic working behavior of the machine, since the damping of the vibrations occurs very close to the cut-off point where the source of vibrations is located, as the cutting head is a moving part which rotates with respect to the ram, the passage of the necessary power and control signals for the inertial actuator is complicated and expensive.
    [0026]
    [0027] EP3017911B1 discloses a machine tool with a mobile cantilever element (ram) that incorporates two unidirectional inertial actuators. The actuators are arranged at the end of the ram that is closest to the cutting tool, integrated into two adjacent side faces of the ram. Each inertial actuator is specially adapted to generate a force parallel to the surface of the ram's side face on which it is arranged, the two forces being generated by both actuators orthogonal to each other. This solution does not require complicated systems to carry the feeding and control signals to the head, since the shock absorbers are integrated in the ram, in addition the shock absorbers do not protrude externally from the ram, so there is no interference between the ram and the piece during machining, the ram's travel is not limited in its exit with respect to the machine.
    [0028]
    [0029] The solution described in document EP3017911B1 is designed for machines of relatively large size, which despite the space restrictions, allow various elements to be arranged inside the ram, such as the head drive system, cooling hoses, or power and signal power cables, the shock absorbers being integrated in the ram's side faces to avoid entering contact with those elements inside the ram. However, there are smaller machine tools where space restrictions are even greater, so that even the head drive system must be located outside the ram, which in this type of smaller machines is very complicated integrate into the ram one actuators suitable for the damping function, not even taking advantage of the ram's side faces.
    [0030]
    [0031] It is therefore necessary a solution that allows to incorporate an active damping system in this type of machines of smaller size that occupies the minimum possible space so as not to interfere in the operations of mencanizado and that is located as close as possible to the cut-off point to improve its effectiveness
    [0032]
    [0033] Object of the invention
    [0034]
    [0035] According to the invention, a machine tool equipped with a ram is proposed, such as a milling machine or boring machine, and which has an inertial active damping system integrated in a machine near the cut-off point.
    [0036]
    [0037] The machine tool of the invention comprises:
    [0038]
    [0039] - a ram in which vibrations occur during machining according to at least one main direction of bending of the ram, the ram having longitudinal walls,
    [0040] - a head that is arranged at a free end of the ram,
    [0041] - drive means for actuating the head that are arranged on one of the ram's longitudinal walls, and
    [0042] - damping means configured to generate at least one force in the ram's main bending direction.
    [0043]
    [0044] According to the invention, the damping means are arranged in a partial section of the longitudinal wall of the ram where the actuating means of the head are arranged, the partial section of the longitudinal wall being located between the actuating means and the free end of the ram where the head is arranged.
    [0045]
    [0046] With this solution the damping means are arranged on only one of the Longitudinal walls of the ram, taking advantage of a free space located next to the drive means near the cut-off point, and are internalized in a cover housing of the drive means. In this way, the damping effect is optimized given the proximity of the damping means to the cut-off point, in addition, with this arrangement of the damping means, the possible interference that may occur between the ram and the piece to be machined, and the path of the ram in its exit with respect to the machine is not limited either.
    [0047]
    [0048] Preferably the damping means are configured to generate two forces in two main flexing directions of the ram.
    [0049]
    [0050] Even more preferably, the damping means are two unidirectional active dampers, each configured to generate one of the two forces in one of the two main flexing directions of the ram.
    [0051]
    [0052] The unidirectional active dampers have a flat rectangular shape with four minor faces and two major faces, where the dampers are supported and facing each other by their major faces, the forces being generated by the dampers parallel to their major faces and perpendicular to each other. This optimizes the arrangement of the dampers and the space occupied by them.
    [0053]
    [0054] A simple and effective solution is thus obtained to provide an active damping system to a machine tool that has a ram which, due to its size restrictions, does not allow the integration of the damping system inside the ram itself.
    [0055]
    [0056] Description of the figures

    [0059]
    [0060] Figure 2 shows a perspective view of a ram with an upper housing where the head drive means and the damping means are incorporated.
    [0061] Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the ram of the previous figure where the housing has been removed to show the arrangement of the drive and damping means.
    [0062]
    [0063] Figure 4 is a perspective view like that of the previous figure but with the damping means in mounting arrangement on the partial section of the longitudinal wall of the ram.
    [0064]
    [0065] Detailed description of the invention
    [0066]
    [0067] An exemplary embodiment of a milling machine tool according to the invention is shown in Figure 1. The machine comprises a ram (10) that is adapted to project overhang with respect to the machine and that at a free end has a head (20) carrying a machining tool.
    [0068]
    [0069] The ram (10) is an oblong element (longer than wide) that when protruding in a cantilever, and due to its inertia and flexibility, it is the part of the machine that has the most influence on its dynamic response, so that The behavior during the machining process can be very different depending on the spatial position in which the ram (10) is in relation to the machine.
    [0070]
    [0071] Experimentally it has been found that the critical vibration modes of the ram (10) during machining correspond to its flexural modes, so that the ram (10) tends to oscillate mainly in two directions (D1, D2) represented in the figure 2 by dashed arrows Accordingly, to dampen the vibrations that occurred in the ram (10) it is especially relevant to apply damping forces that are aligned with the main directions of flexion (D1, D2) in which the ram oscillates ( 10).
    [0072]
    [0073] As can be seen in the figures, the ram (10) has a prismatic shape of rectangular section with four longitudinal walls (11). On one of said longitudinal walls (11), drive means (30) are arranged which, through a suitable transmission, cause the head (20) to be driven, which is located at the free end of the ram (10). Specifically, the actuation means (30) are arranged on the upper longitudinal wall (11) of the ram (10) and are covered by a housing (31).
    [0074]
    [0075] The ram assembly (10) with the housing (31) incorporating the drive means (30) is adapted to move vertically with respect to the machine and protrude horizontally overhang so that the head (20) can perform machining operations , so it is especially relevant that there is no element that protrudes from said set so as not to limit the ram's travel (10) or interfere with the machining operations.
    [0076]
    [0077] The longitudinal wall (11) of the ram (10) on which the drive means (30) are arranged has a partial section (12) that is located between the drive means (30) and the head (20). The invention proposes to provide damping means (41,42) in the space generated by said partial section (12), which allow to attenuate the vibrations occurred in the two main bending directions (D1, D2) of the ram (10). In this way the damping means (41,42) are located inside the housing (31) of the actuating means (30) without protruding from the ram-housing assembly (10,31) and in an area as close as possible to the head cut-off point (20).
    [0078]
    [0079] Preferably the damping means (41,42) are two unidirectional active dampers, each of them being configured to generate a force (F1, F2) in one of the main bending directions (D1, D2) of the ram (10). Although they could be a single bidirectional active shock absorber that generates the two forces in the two main bending directions (D1, D2) of the ram (10), or even a single shock absorber that generates only one force in one of the main directions could be used of flexion (D1, D2) of the ram (10).
    [0080]
    [0081] One of the unidirectional active dampers (41) generates a first force (F1) in one of the main bending directions (D1) of the ram (10), the first force (F1) being perpendicular to the upper longitudinal wall (11) of the ram (10), and the other of the unidirectional active dampers (42) generates a second force (F2) in the other main bending direction (D2) of the ram (10), the second force (F2) being parallel to the wall longitudinal upper (11) of the ram (10), so that the first and second forces (F1, F2) are orthogonal to each other.
    [0082] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the unidirectional active dampers (41,42) have a rectangular flat configuration with two major faces and four minor faces. The shock absorbers (41,42) are faced and supported by one of their major faces, the forces (F1, F2) being generated parallel to their major faces and perpendicular to each other, so that the shock absorbers (41,42) they remain in a vertical arrangement and overlapped by their larger faces thus optimizing the space occupied in the partial section (12) of the longitudinal wall (11) of the ram (10) where the actuating means (30) are arranged. In addition, the dampers (41,42) act as a joint mass in their oscillation as they are supported by their major faces.
    [0083]
    [0084] It is envisaged that the two unidirectional active dampers (41,42) are of identical configuration so that one is rotated 90 ° with respect to the other to generate the forces (F1, F2) in the main bending directions (D1, D2 ) of the ram (10).
    [0085]
    [0086] Preferably the dampers (41,42) are tied to the drive means (30), so that the forces (F1, F2) generated by the dampers (41,42) are transmitted to the ram (10) through the structure of the drive means (30). Alternatively, the dampers (41,42) can be tied directly to the upper longitudinal wall (11) of the ram (10). In any case, the mooring of the shock absorbers (41,42) is not a limiting feature for the correct operation of the invention provided there is a connection, directly or indirectly, sufficiently rigid with between the shock absorbers (41,42) and the ram (10)
    [0087]
    [0088] The machine has sensors that measure the magnitude of the vibrations in the ram (10). Specifically, through the use of colocalized accelerometers in the position where the dampers (41,42) are located, a direct measurement of the acceleration with which the ram (10) oscillates in the two main flexion directions (D1, D2) is made ). The processing of said signal allows the setpoint introduced in the dampers to be generated to generate the damping forces (F1, F2) that will suppress the regenerative effect characteristic of the machining chatter.
    [0089]
    [0090] The arrangement of the shock absorbers (41.42) at the free end of the ram (10) closest to the machining tool is a particularly relevant factor, since the further away the shock absorbers (41.42) are from the cut point , higher it will be the force that has to be done to dampen the vibrations, and therefore, the size of the shock absorber, and the space required to dispose of it, must be greater.
