Product Detail
End machining of steering tube
Varying pipe lengths and diameters, thread sizes, cross groove diameters and depths, slot widths and lengths
With their driven tools, the five sequential machining stations of the linear processor carry out the end-face machining of steering tubes, pipes, shafts and rods from the blank to the finished part with maximum productivity. Starting with the first machining station, the following tasks are performed:
- Planing, chamfering and ring groove production
- Transverse groove production
- One-sided/double-sided slot production
- Deburring
- Cutting the thread and flushing to remove chips
The unmachined parts are axially and radially aligned in the loading station for defined insertion of the steering tubes into the machining stations. A turning device in conjunction with a laser ensures the radial positioning of the parts, which is necessary, among other things, when machining the tube ends on both sides by loading them twice. The two centrally clamping hydraulic power clamping blocks of each station take over the high radial and axial cutting forces during machining and thus, with reference to the tools, result in the machining position.
The horizontal steering tubes are transported between the stations with the 2-axis NC-controlled lift-lower conveyor. From the loading station to the removal from the deposit station by the industrial robot, 12 universal grippers, 2 grippers per position, are installed on the lift-lower conveyor for this purpose. The arrangementof the grippers and clamps ensures the reference position from the start of machining to the end. The pipe is held continuously. Every 37 seconds, with each cycle, a finished part is discharged. The blank bunker in conjunction with the step conveyor, the linear cycle and the final loading robot, which deposits the finished parts on 2 transport pallets via the drip-off station, result in the fully automated production cell for the competitive production of steering tubes in wet machining.
