B-Axis Rotation

B-axis Definition

The WJ-800 worktable center deep part embedded a set of high-precision rotation structure, its physical axis and machine tool Y-axis completely parallel. This set of mechanism relies on a set of transmission ratio 1:180 large reduction ratio precision worm gear pair drive, transforming servo motor power into 5000Nm rotation torque. Every time instruction is issued, worktable will carry over ton weight workpiece, at per minute 20 revolutions speed in horizontal plane find preset angle.

CNC system divides one circle circumference equally into 360,000 parts, corresponding every minimum movement unit only 0.001 degrees. To ensure micro displacement can accurately land, machine tool internal equipped resolution 4 million pulses per revolution circular grating encoder. Full closed-loop feedback mechanism makes worktable at 500mm rotation radius edge, repeat positioning error controlled within 0.005mm.

Bearing capacity originates from worktable below combined thrust angular contact ball bearings, supporting up to 2500kg static load. Even if workpiece center deviates from rotation center 150mm, B-axis still can at 2.5rad/s2 acceleration smoothly start and stop. To prevent heat accumulation triggering precision decline, cooling oil liquid at per minute 15L speed in bearing seat around circulates, forcedly locking temperature difference within 2 degrees Celsius range.

When B-axis rotates to predetermined position, a set of diameter 400mm curvic coupling mechanism will rapidly intervene. This set of mechanism consists of two pieces carrying 72 precision ground helical teeth metal plates, under 8MPa hydraulic thrust tightly meshes. Physical level tooth mesh locking force far exceeds friction force, providing over 10000Nm anti-torsion rigidity, enough to handle 63mm face milling cutter with 5mm cutting depth during rough processing vibration.

· Tooth plate mesh precision maintains at plus/minus 3 arc seconds, effect equivalent to aiming at a coin 100 meters away.

· Hydraulic release and locking action cycle within 0.8 seconds completed, reducing non-cutting time loss.

· Worktable maximum rotation diameter locked at 1100mm, ensuring rotation when will not collide machine tool sheet metal guards.

· Sealing structure adopts four-layer labyrinth exhaust design, preventing high pressure cutting fluid penetrating precision worm gear chamber.

In processing depth reaching 250mm complex box cavity, B-axis rotation ability changed tool and part relative posture. If maintain vertical processing, length-diameter ratio exceeding 8:1 tool will produce serious tool deflection phenomenon, cutting speed forcedly limited at per minute 30 cubic centimeters. Through B-axis rotating 30 degrees, tool overhang length shortened by half, cutting rigidity subsequently increases, metal removal rate soars to per minute 100 cubic centimeters.

Originally easy at deep hole bottom accumulating iron chips, under gravity action follow inclined wall surface discharge, reducing tool chipping probability. For surface roughness requirement reaching Ra 0.8 micron mirror processing, stable inclined cutting angle is machine tool long time high load operation under a guarantee.

Environmental temperature every point fluctuation all will make B-axis rotation center happen displacement. Machine tool operating 4 hours later, Z-axis direction might produce 15 micron thermal displacement, this enough to affect high precision coaxial hole quality. Technicians usually call diameter 50mm ceramic standard ball, through machine tool own probe perform multi-point sampling, automatically calculate and update system internal coordinate compensation parameters.

· Calibration program through measuring 0 degree, 90 degree, 180 degree, 270 degree four positions, constructs real rotation trajectory model.

· In 24 hours continuous processing, this compensation technology controls irregular hole position tolerance within 0.01mm.

· Built-in lubrication pump every 30 minutes automatically towards worm gear pair injects specified dosage extreme pressure grease.

B-axis physical stability determines WJ-800 in polyhedron part processing status. For needing from five faces perform processing gearbox housing, through B-axis precise rotation, single setup can complete all processes.

When worktable on workpiece exists mass imbalance, system will automatically limit maximum speed, and prompt operator adjust fixture center of gravity. Protection mechanism ensures precision worm gear in several years high frequency use, tooth side clearance always maintains at 0.008mm initial precision range.

Due to B-axis rotating when workpiece swing is huge, any exceeding pressure plate or protruding oil cylinder joint all belong to safety hazard. Simulation software according to input 1100mm maximum swing diameter performs collision detection, ensuring at any rotation angle, tool holder and worktable edge all maintain over 20mm safety distance.

Three Advantages

WJ-800 worktable base inside encapsulated a set reduction ratio 1 to 180 precision double lead worm gear pair, this set mechanism amplifies servo motor torque to 5000Nm. Through 4 million pulse high resolution circular grating, B-axis divides one circle circumference physically into 360,000 discrete positions, ensuring minimum instruction unit locked at 0.001 degree. In processing radius 500mm place, this tiny indexing increment lets edge positioning deviation always wander within 2 microns.

For one weight reaching 600kg gearbox housing, traditional vertical three-axis processing needs undergo 4 times setup, 4 times calibration. Every time manual intervention all will introduce at least 0.02mm setup cumulative error. WJ-800 utilizes B-axis in 1.5 seconds complete 90 degree indexing, letting every processing face hole system coaxiality controlled within 0.01mm, overall auxiliary man-hours reduced over 70%.

When B-axis rotates in place, 8MPa hydraulic oil pressure pushes 72 precision ground helical tooth plates completely mesh, producing 10,000Nm rigid locking torque. This hard link method excludes worm gear transmission under force reverse backlash, making machine tool when using 63mm face milling cutter, cutting depth reaching 5mm, bed still cannot hear any due to rigidity insufficiency triggered cutting howl.

Processing depth exceeding 200mm part internal cavity, B-axis rotation ability breaks traditional cutting physical limit. Under vertical state, tool length-diameter ratio usually as high as 8 to 1, cutting edge tip vibration will rapidly amplify to over 0.05mm. Through B-axis rotating workpiece 30 degrees, spindle head can deeper into workpiece internal, tool overhang length shortened 45%. Short thick tool holder increased system rigidity, roughness from Ra 3.2 micron improved to Ra 0.8 micron.

· Cutting angle offset let iron chips influenced by gravity, follow inclined surface at per second 3 meters speed discharge to chip conveyor.

· Avoided tool tip in chip accumulation area secondary cutting, carbide insert effective life extended 35%.

· Spindle after avoiding interference area, allows using highest speed perform high speed milling, single part processing cycle from 8 hours shortened to 3.5 hours.

· Heat dissipation oil liquid at 15L/min flow rate circulates, ensuring large power cutting when B-axis bearing temperature rise not exceed 2 degrees Celsius.

B-axis bearing capacity reached 2000kg, and under full load state still can maintain 2.5rad/s2 start-stop acceleration. This dynamic response relies on servo driver internal load sensing algorithm, it every second performs ten thousand times current scanning. When detecting workpiece exists over 100mm eccentric moment, system will automatically adjust gain, preventing rotation inertia on worm tooth surface produce per square millimeter exceeding 150N squeezing stress.

Environmental temperature every change 1 degree Celsius, worktable rotation center will produce about 10 micron physical displacement. To offset this thermal stability deviation, WJ-800 equipped diameter 50mm ceramic reference ball, operator every shift runs once coordinate compensation program. Probe at 0 degree, 90 degree, 180 degree three reference positions samples, automatically calculates and corrects system internal center deviation value, ensuring 24 hours continuous processing size consistency maintains at 0.008mm.

In programming stage, workpiece edge to rotation center furthest distance must be strictly limited within 550mm. Once exceeding this value, B-axis rotation produced huge kinetic energy will in 0.5 seconds hit sheet metal guards. Through software establishing based on maximum swing diameter virtual protection wall, can before program running intercept all due to coordinate offset triggered interference instructions.

Worm gear pair internal filled with molybdenum disulfide component containing extreme pressure grease, oil film thickness maintains at about 0.02mm. This micron level lubrication interval through automatic pumping system every 30 minutes supplements once, preventing heavy load rotation when metal direct contact.

Center of Gravity Position

WJ-800 Horizontal Machining Center worktable area is 800x800mm, rated static bearing limited at 1500kg. When 1.5 ton workpiece placed on table, physical center of gravity position (CoG) determines machine tool geometric precision holding time. If center of gravity deviates from worktable center 100mm, B-axis support bearing will bear extra 150Nm overturning moment, this will lead to rotation precision from 3 arc seconds drop to 8 arc seconds.

Machine tool base adopts HT300 Meehanite cast iron, this material anti-deformation ability is 250MPa. Workpiece center of gravity if too high, for example reaching above 500mm, X-axis at 24m/min speed rapid move and sudden stop when, will produce as high as 0.5G inertia acceleration. This impact force through No. 55 roller guide transmit to bed, making column happen about 0.005mm instantaneous elastic offset.

To avoid this deviation, WJ-800 random manual provided detailed load-CoG envelope diagram. When CoG height from 200mm rises to 800mm, allowed maximum load amount will from 1500kg linearly drop to around 750kg. If operator ignores this data density, Z-axis screw in long term asymmetric force under, return error will from 0.003mm gradually wear to 0.01mm.

· Worktable T-slot Width: 22mm (H7 precision)

· CoG Radial Allowed Deviation: Less than 150mm

· B-axis Maximum Torque Output: 3000Nm (Hydraulic locking state)

· Y-axis Drive Screw Diameter: 50mm

· Slider Preload Grade: ZA grade (Medium preload)

· Worktable Rotation Repeat Precision: Plus/minus 1.5 arc seconds

CoG deviating from center line will lead to B-axis transmission mechanism worm gear pair produce asymmetric contact. 1:90 reduction ratio under eccentric load, tooth surface contact pressure will from normal 40MPa soar to 85MPa. This local high pressure will destroy ISO VG 68 guide oil formed 5 micron thick oil film, leading to worm gear in rotation indexing produce slight crawling phenomenon.

Deep pocket processing in fixture design must consider weight reduction, selecting 7075-T6 aluminum alloy replace ordinary 45 steel, can make fixture self-weight reduce over 60%. Reduced 200kg weight if can exchange for CoG descending 100mm, spindle in performing 400mm depth milling when vibration frequency will from 45Hz move out of resonance zone. Actual measurement shows, CoG every reduction 10%, part surface roughness Ra value can improve 0.2 micron.

Below table shows WJ-800 in different CoG heights under bearing capacity limits:

CoG Height (mm)Maximum Safety Load (kg)Suggested Rapid Override (%)B-axis Positioning Error (sec)
0 - 20015001003.0
201 - 4001250754.2
401 - 6001000505.8
601 - 800750258.5

Workpiece CoG eccentric also will affect APC automatic pallet changer operation smoothness. Changer arm in 15 seconds complete rotation action, if load CoG deviates to one side, changer arm shaft will bear over 5000N radial impact. Long term eccentric load operation will lead to changer system hydraulic buffer life shorten 40%, even appear exchange in place after mechanical lock alarm.

In deep pocket milling process, due to tool length-diameter ratio usually exceeds 5:1, cutting force produced lever effect will amplify CoG instability brought negative consequences. When CoG is high, cutting point produced 1000N lateral force at worktable bottom will evolve into 5000N thrust. This will lead to B-axis brake disc happen 0.002 degree micro slippage, directly on deep pocket side wall leave obvious tool marks.

· Hydraulic Station Standard Pressure: 5.0MPa

· Spindle Taper Hole Runout: Within 0.002mm

Due to WJ-800 adopting horizontal layout, workpiece gravity direction and Y-axis parallel. CoG closer to spindle box, Y-axis motor bears static torque more constant. If CoG towards outside overhanging exceeds 200mm, Y-axis ball screw load rate will from 25% increase to 55%. This load fluctuation will trigger servo system gain mismatch, leading to processed arc appearing 0.015mm ellipticity error.

Long term processing heavy load eccentric part machine tools, their worktable surface often will appear 0.01mm around flatness sinking. Maintenance personnel need regularly use laser interferometer perform full circle precision compensation for B-axis.

Spindle in performing gravity load under high speed cutting when, spindle box hydraulic balance system will real-time compensate Z-axis sagging amount. If CoG offset too large, balance cylinder response delay will from 10ms increase to 25ms. This micro delay in processing 300mm above length-diameter ratio hole when, will lead to hole axis line straightness error exceed 0.02mm, cannot satisfy aerospace grade part assembly requirement.

Mass Damping

WJ-800 Horizontal Machining Center 800x800mm worktable self-weight about 850kg, coordinating 1500kg maximum load, movement unit total mass close to 2.4 tons. This type mass distribution in deep pocket processing formed physical level energy trap, can effectively absorb BT50 spindle at 3000rpm speed produced excitation force. When 400mm length-diameter ratio milling cutter enters cavity deep part, cutting frequency usually at 80Hz to 120Hz fluctuation, heavy load will system damping ratio from 0.02 lift to 0.05 above.

In 1200kg load condition under, workpiece and table between T-slot connection rigidity reached 1000N/μm. This mass accumulation changed machine tool natural frequency, moving resonance point from easy occurrence zone 150Hz to 95Hz below. Actual measurement data shows, load every increase 100kg, deep pocket side wall vibration mark depth average reduces 0.5 micron. For extension reaching 350mm vibration damping tool bar, this base mass support makes Ra 0.8 grade surface finish pass rate lift 25%.

In No. 40 steel deep pocket continuous milling test, load as 500kg when, spindle box vibration acceleration as 1.2m/s2; when simulated load through pressure block lift to 1300kg when, same cutting depth acceleration drops to 0.45m/s2. Mass block produced inertia offset over 60% cutting instantaneous impact, preventing tool tip chipping.

WJ-800 table flatness controlled within 0.01mm/800mm, ensuring 1.5 ton workpiece bottom and cast iron surface effective contact rate exceeds 75%. If contact area lower than 50%, heavy part in high frequency cutting under will produce micro-second level "jumping" phenomenon. This will lead to Z-axis screw bearing per minute 3000 times micro reverse impact, making bearing life shorten about 1800 hours.

15 ton overall machine weight and 1.5 ton worktable load form 10:1 rigidity ratio. In performing deep pocket side wall finish milling, spindle feed speed set as 1500mm/min, back cut depth 0.2mm. At this time, worktable huge inertia guaranteed B-axis indexing plate will not due to cutting resistance produce 0.001 degree micro deflection.

Aimed at 5:1 length-diameter ratio tool mold processing, adjusting worktable counterweight to rated load 70% is optimization scheme. Through increasing 300kg dedicated counterweight base, can make processing course noise level from 85dB reduce to 72dB.

If load too light, motor frequent acceleration-deceleration will lead to 800mm screw produce 0.015mm thermal elongation. 1.2 ton workpiece mass played heat balancer role, its huge heat capacity slowed worktable in 8 hours continuous operation in dimension fluctuation, positioning precision fluctuation range narrowed to 5 micron.

WJ-800 CoG optimization design makes 1.5 ton load located at table center when, column static deflection deformation amount only 0.004mm. In dynamic milling, this mass damping effect suppressed column swing cycle. Comparing 200kg light load processing, heavy load state under hole position cylindricity actual value by 0.012mm optimized to 0.007mm.
