Popis: | As higher precision machining is required, reducing thermal deformation of a machine tool becomes more important. On the other hand, it is also necessary to save energy for the earth and people. Therefore, we developed a new lathe with environmetal preservation countermeasure. In this report, the new design of lathe structure for reducing thermal deformation has been experimentally investigated. Concepts of these designs are a suitable cost of machine tool, low running cost, low maintenance cost and high precision machining. Three countermeasures which are a design of zero-center on three directions, a self forced cooling technology and a three-layers structure using thermal insulation unit were proposed for reducing thermal deformation. The developed lathe was evaluated in experiment. It is concluded from the results that thermal deformation of the lathe with these countermeasures was smaller than that of a conventional lathe. In addition, these countermeasures don't use forced cooling system and reduce energy and oil for working its. |
