At the 2018 China CNC Machine Tool Show, Schaeffler will present the newly developed machine tool components and digital solutions. Whether it is used for spindles, feed axes, rotary axes or rotary tables, the new generation of parts and components products can be greatly improved. Machine productivity, accuracy and durability. In addition, Schaeffler's latest applications will focus more on machine tools 4.0.
Shanghai, April 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Thanks to the digital development of bearings, machine tool users can now optimize their machining processes based on a large amount of data, and achieve greater utilization of processing power. Improving the product's quality while extending the service life of the machine. With this opportunity, Schaeffler applies advanced research and development concepts and technologies to integrate more and more purely mechanical products into digital solutions and continuously create new products for customers. Value. At the 2018 China CNC Machine Tool Show (CCMT 2018) held from April 9th to 13th, Schaeffler will showcase the latest technologies and products in innovative materials and digital applications at Booth B401 in Hall N1.
New X-life Series: Higher Speed, Longer Life
At this exhibition, Schaeffler will exhibit a new X-life high-quality bearing series: X-life high-precision cylindrical roller bearings, X-life M series high-speed main bearings, X-life six columns Linear recirculating ball bearing and guideway assemblies, as well as new YRTC turret bearings with absolute value measuring systems. These new bearings have high ultimate speed, load carrying capacity, stiffness and service life, which will create maximum value for the new generation of machine tools.
Schaeffler X-life M series high-speed spindle bearings have a new design of the internal structure, which optimizes the diameter of the steel balls. Therefore, the high-speed capability of small steel ball bearings and the reliability and high load-bearing capacity of large steel ball bearings are also available. The series has introduced three different versions of M, HCM and VCM. The M series spindle bearings are made entirely of 100Cr6, while the HCM series bearings use ceramic balls. The VCM high-speed series spindle bearings also use ceramic balls, but the bearing inner and outer rings are newly developed. Vacrodur high-performance materials. Compared with the traditional spindle bearings, VCM type spindle bearings greatly improve the carrying capacity, fatigue limit and anti-pollution ability, and bring new possibilities for the design of electric spindle.
Schaeffler's six-row linear recirculating ball bearing and guideway assemblies, integrated sensors, electronic evaluation and re-lubrication systems form a closed-loop, intelligent re-lubrication system on demand. The system ensures that the linear guide system is in optimal lubrication condition Lack of lubrication and unexpected shutdown of the machine, thereby prolonging machine operation and ensuring production quality.
Schaeffler has a wide product portfolio for drive shafts and turrets. The debut of CCRT's YRTC turret bearing with absolute value measurement system enables the display of the angular position of the turntable of the product as soon as the system is powered on. The position can significantly improve the actual measurement accuracy point, and it will not cause 'blind spots' due to pollution, oil mist, etc. The transparent turntable made of Plexiglas can see the mounting method of the measuring head. There is no additional component to fix the measurement system. , No need for additional adjustment, Compatible with most CNC systems, Particularly suitable for bar machining, turning and milling complex applications.
In addition, Schaeffler has also exhibited a series of screw support bearings to provide ready-to-use, low-friction, long-life screw bearing series that fully demonstrates Schaeffler spherical plain bearings and rod-end technology. Radial bearings, axial bearings and angular contact spherical plain bearings.
Machine Tool 4.0: Innovative Digital Solutions
In industrial 4.0 applications, CNC machine tools play an important role. A major technical highlight of this Schaeffler exhibit is the machine tool 4.0. As a leading supplier and development partner of machine tool drive technology components, Schaeffler follows a clear digital strategy. , Gather data through bearings, use big data for analysis, and use collected data for different processes to create more value.
Machine Tool 4.0 perfectly embodies Schaeffler's intelligent ecosystem. The first is the acquisition of intelligent data. Schaeffler's self-invented intelligent sensor's bearing linear assembly can acquire real data from the machining process. These data are processed by Schaeffler's data. Pre-processing, lays the foundation for real-time monitoring and maintenance of the visual processing state in the future. Next is the analysis and processing of big data. Relying on Schaeffler's cloud data processing technology and professional bearing knowledge, the professional software is used for modeling and analysis to realize products. Operation, production of digital value-added.
The first attempt of Schaeffler Machine Tool 4.0 was a five-axis turning and milling machining center produced in cooperation with the world's leading machine tool manufacturer, DMG Giesen. This machine integrated more than 60 sensors to realize signals such as load, displacement, speed and vibration. The process of digital value-added process is achieved through the analysis and processing of these signal data. Until now, the machine tool has been used in the actual production of Schaeffler turntable bearings, accumulating a lot of experience to further enhance the intelligence of the manufacturing process, and verifying the The feasibility of Feller's 4.0 concept.
Facing the future, Schaeffler will be dedicated to providing services in the specialized fields of bearings, linear guides, turntables and the like in the form of digital services, and will continue to advance to a new level in the process of Industry 4.0.
