Description

The present invention relates to a slide processing method and apparatus for a press machine, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for processing a slide lower surface flat.

In press working, the upper die is attached to the lower surface of the slide, the lower die is attached to the upper surface of the bolster, and the workpiece placed between the upper die and the lower die is pressed with the upper die by the reciprocating motion of the slide. As a result, press working is performed, but since the load due to the press work is directly applied to the lower surface of the slide, the lower surface of the slide is likely to be deformed while operating at a high speed for a long time.
This deformation is, for example, a depression caused by biting into the lower surface of the upper mold, an inclination of the lower surface of the slide due to an unbalanced load, or a warp that deforms into a concave shape due to an excessive load applied to the center of the slide surface. There is.

If such deformation occurs, the flatness of the lower surface of the slide will be reduced and the parallelism between the upper surface of the bed (or bolster) and the lower surface of the slide will be reduced, leading to a decrease in the operation accuracy of the mold. Therefore, the required product accuracy cannot be obtained. Therefore, if the slide bottom surface is depressed, warped, or a large shift in parallelism occurs, it is necessary to correct the slide bottom surface itself. To do so, remove the slide from the press machine, and remove the removed slide to the processing machine. I had to bring it in and modify the bottom of the slide. However, since the slide is heavy, the removal from the press machine takes a large amount of time and requires work time. Therefore, the press machine is stopped for a long time, which causes a decrease in productivity.

Therefore, in Patent Document 1, with a slide attached to a press machine, a processing device with a cutter blade portion attached upward is mounted between the slide lower surface and the bed upper surface, and the measured flatness or parallelism is measured. A method of processing and correcting the flatness or the parallelism to fall within a predetermined dimension by scraping the entire bottom surface of the slide with a cutter blade portion with the amount of deviation as a cutting amount has been disclosed. Thereby, the work which removes a slide from a press machine is not required, but the large-scale work and the long time stop of the press machine accompanying this are eliminated.

However, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, when the lower surface of the slide is scraped off with the cutter blade, the chips are scattered around the cutter blade, so that the generated chips are cleaned after the cutting process is completed. There is a problem that it is necessary and extra work occurs.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and the lower surface of the slide can be accurately machined, so that chips do not scatter around the cutter blade after machining, and therefore it is necessary to perform a cleaning operation after the machining is completed. An object of the present invention is to provide a processing method and apparatus for the lower surface of a slide of a press machine in which there is no particular problem.

The method of flatly processing the slide lower surface of the press machine according to the first invention that meets the above-described object is the following: the slide lower surface around the cutter of a cutter mechanism that includes a cutter that is driven to rotate and cut the slide lower surface.

The height of the lower surface of the slide is measured with the second dial gauge . It should be noted that the fact that the position of the cutter can be adjusted up and down relative to the lower surface of the slide means that the cutter itself moves up and down, and that the cutter is fixed and the lower surface of the slide moves up and down. Further, the fact that the position of the cutter can be adjusted up and down relative to the lower surface of the slide includes not only the case where the cutter mechanism has an elevating mechanism but also the case where the slide moves up and down.

In the processing device for the slide lower surface of the press machine according to the second invention, it is preferable that the cover member is urged by an elastic member so as to be in contact with the slide lower surface.

In the processing apparatus of the slide lower surface of the press machine according to the second invention, the bottom surface of the support base of the transport mechanism is flat and mounted on the bolster of the press, and the support base is fixed to the bolster, It is preferable to cut the slide lower surface.

The processing method of the slide lower surface of the press machine according to the first invention and the processing device of the slide lower surface of the press machine according to the second invention have the following effects.
(1) The cutting member does not scatter due to the cover member that covers the periphery of the cutter during the cutting process, so there is no need to perform another cleaning operation after the cutting process is completed.
(2) Since the cover member moves following the slide lower surface, even if the slide lower surface is depressed, warped, or misaligned, a gap is created between the slide lower surface and the cover member so that chips leak out. And the scattering of chips is prevented.

In particular, the first on either side of the cutter (cover member) is provided with the second dial gauge, a depth of cut setting of the slide lower surface can be facilitated, for cutting slides underside, Since the height can be measured immediately after machining without waiting for the end of all cutting, the working time can be shortened, which greatly contributes to the improvement of productivity.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in FIGS. 1 (A), 1 (B), 2, 3, and 4, a processing device for a slide lower surface of a press machine according to an embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter simply referred to as “processing device”). 10 is a transport mechanism 13 with a support 40 placed on a bolster 11 (see FIG. 6) of a press machine (not shown), and a cutter mechanism 14 attached to the transport mechanism 13 and movable in the left-right direction. And a cover member 15 surrounding the cutter mechanism 14. These will be described in detail below.

As shown in FIGS. 1B, 2, 5, and 6, the cutter mechanism 14 is a gear transmission mechanism that transmits rotational power from a horizontal axis (not shown) to a vertical axis (see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-36023). 7, and FIG. 8), and a cutter 19 provided at the top of the vertical shaft that is rotationally driven. As shown in FIG. 1 (B), the cutter 19 has a structure similar to that of a milling blade and has a plurality of blades 21. 23) can be processed flatly.

On the lower housing 17, a cover member 15 having a circular center and a square (rectangular) periphery in plan view is provided around the cutter 19. The cover member 15 has cylindrical holes 25 to 28 at four corners, each has a mounting screw (not shown), and is provided at the lower part of the inner flange provided at each intermediate position of the cylindrical holes 25 to 28. An upper end of the cover member 15 is urged so as to contact the slide lower surface 23 by a spring which is an example of the arranged elastic member. Accordingly, the cover member 15 can move together with the cutter 19 along the slide lower surface 23. In addition, a gap is provided between the cutter 19 and the inner circle 30 of the cover member 15, so that the cutter 19 can freely rotate, and chips cut by the cutter 19 are between the cutter 19 and the inner circle 30. It has a structure that falls.

On the side of the lower housing 17 (on the right side in FIGS. 2 and 6), there is a bearing member 31 having a horizontal shaft that forms a part of the gear transmission mechanism described above and a rotation provided on the bearing member 31. A drive motor (for example, an air motor) 32 is provided. The rotation of the rotation drive motor 32 is transmitted to the horizontal axis by a belt (not shown) or the like, and further transmitted to the vertical axis by a bevel gear or the like to rotate the cutter 19. A transport mechanism 13 is provided below the lower handling 17.

The transport mechanism 13 includes a female screw member (nut) provided on the base 12 attached to the bottom of the lower housing 17, a male screw (ball screw) 37 supported on both sides by side frames 35, 36, and a side frame 35. And a feed motor 38 fixed to the head. The bottom surface of the support 40 having the side frames 35 and 36 on both sides is flat, moves horizontally on the bolster 11, and can be fixed to the bolster 11 using a jig or the like if necessary.

When the feed motor 38 is rotated, the male screw 37 is rotated, and when the male screw 37 is rotated, the base 12 and the lower housing 17 mounted thereon are moved horizontally. The support base 40 is provided with a guide portion so that the base 12 moves in parallel with the axis of the male screw 37, so that the base 12 is not rotated by the male screw 37. Accordingly, the cutter mechanism 14 placed on the base 12 can be moved in the left-right direction along the slide lower surface 23.

First and second dial gauges 44 and 45 are provided on both sides in the left-right direction of the lower housing 17 via support members 42 and 43 so that the height can be adjusted. The first and second dial gauges 44 and 45 are arranged on both sides of the cover member 15 (cutter 19) as the center.
Here, the cut amount of the slide 22 is set by the first dial gauge 44, and the height of the slide lower surface 23 processed by the second dial gauge 45 is measured. In this embodiment, the first and second dial gauges 44 and 45 are manually operated. However, when a digital dial gauge is used, zero setting can be easily performed.

Then, the processing method of the slide lower surface of a press machine using this processing apparatus 10 is demonstrated.
The processing apparatus 10 is placed on a predetermined position on the bolster 11, and the support base 40 of the processing apparatus 10 is fixed to the bolster 11 using screws or the like. In this state, the power supply or air is connected to the supply source.
Next, the height of the slide lower surface 23 is measured by applying the first dial gauge 44 from the bottom to the end of the slide 22 or the position of the depression, and further cutting allowance is added to the highest position of the slide lower surface 23. The height of the slide 22 is adjusted so that the blade 21 of the cutter 19 is positioned at a height (see FIG. 5). Thereby, the cutting allowance (cutting amount) of the slide 22 is determined, and the surface ground by the cutter 19 becomes a new lower slide surface. In addition, the cutter mechanism 14 provided with the cutter 19 sets the cut amount by moving the slide 22 up and down with respect to the slide lower surface 23 as described above, and the cutter mechanism 14 can be moved up and down to set the cut amount. Good.

In this state, the feed motor 38 is driven and the cutter mechanism 14 including the cutter 19 is horizontally moved by the transport mechanism 13. As a result, the slide lower surface 23 is gradually cut and the swarf falls to the surroundings, but the cover member 15 is present so that it does not scatter around. The scattered chips are collected in the cover member 15 or the like, but can be removed by suction with a vacuum cleaner.
Since the transport mechanism 13 moves only in a straight line in this embodiment, when the entire surface of the slide lower surface 23 is cut, the processing apparatus 10 is moved. Here, in the case of using the transport mechanism 13 that moves the cutter mechanism 14 in the XY directions, the movement of the processing apparatus 10 is not necessary, but the apparatus becomes large.

After the cutting of the slide lower surface 23 is finished, the flatness (height) of the cut surface is measured by the second dial gauge 45. The first and second dial gauges 44 and 45 need not be distinguished from each other. The dial gauge preceding the cutter 19 is the first dial gauge 44 and the dial gauge following the cutter 19 is used. Is a second dial gauge 45. After the above cutting process is completed, the processing apparatus 10 is lowered from the bolster 11.
