  • Publication number: 20220161453
    Abstract: An ultrasonic cutter includes a tool holder and an ultrasonic oscillator. The tool holder has a lower circular air-out aisle defined by sleeving an inner ring and an outer ring. The inner ring has oppositely a first surface and a second surface, and the outer ring has oppositely a third surface and a fourth surface. A gap spacing the first surface from the third surface has an upper air inlet and a lower air outlet. The second surface has a lower inner inclined surface forming a first angle with the first surface. The fourth surface has an outer inclined surface forming a second angle with the third surface. The ultrasonic oscillator, disposed in a chamber of the tool holder spatially connected with the gap, is used for providing ultrasonic oscillation to a cutter. In addition, a cooling and chip diversion system for the ultrasonic cutter is also provided.

  • Patent number: 10688615
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a temperature control system that may be applied to a machine tool. The system includes a cooling circulation and a controller. The cooling circulation comprises a pump, a cooler and a solenoid valve. The pump may be driven by a variable frequency motor so as to flow through the spindle of the machine tool. The cooler is serially connected with the liquid pump, and may cool the liquid coolant. The solenoid valve connects to inlet and outlet of the cooler, and may prevent the liquid coolant flows through the spindle from flowing back to the cooler. The controller is electrically connected with the variable frequency motor, the cooler and the solenoid valve. Further, the controller is connected to the machine tool to detect several parameters, so as to control the variable frequency motor, the cooler and the solenoid valve.

  • Patent number: 10596670
    Abstract: The disclosure is a thermal stability control system and a control method thereof for a machine tool. The control system mainly consists of a machine cooling sub-system composed of a pump, at least a cooling loop and a tank for storing cooling fluid, a cooling fluid cooling and heating sub-system, a heater and a micro controller. The cooling fluid cooling and heating sub-system further consists of a condenser, an evaporator, a directional valve, an expansion valve and a compressor. The micro controller dominates corresponding operation combinations of turning on/off the heater, enabling/disenabling the cooling fluid cooling and heating sub-system as a heat pump or a cooler by activating/releasing the directional vale, and adjusting upward/downward the driving frequency of an inverter duty motor to drive the pump to change the flow rate of cooling fluid through the cooling loop according the real time load of the machine tool.

  • Patent number: 9194425
    Abstract: A device of the axial-directional oil chamber of hydrostatic spindle comprises integrated oil seal structures at both the axial direction and the radial direction. The oil seal structures increase the work area of the oil chamber by extending and thus connecting an axial-directional oil seal edge to a radial-directional oil seal edge. Then, the rigidity of the axial hydrostatic bearing can be increased, and thus the application capability of the hydrostatic spindle can be upgraded to perform the multi-task machining from the mono-task machining.

  • Patent number: 8839935
    Abstract: A transmission device includes a mounting frame having an abutting member, a driving sleeve sleeved fixedly on a drive shaft extending through the base plate, a transmission wheel sleeved rotatably on the driving sleeve, and a connecting post extending through a radially extending through hole in the transmission wheel and into a spiral first guiding groove in the driving sleeve having opposite first and second ends. A position-limiting member is disposed rotatably on a side surface of the transmission wheel. A ball is disposed in a ball-receiving hole in the position-limiting member and is movable in a curved second guiding groove in the side surface of the transmission wheel having a shallower first end and a deeper second end. When the drive shaft rotates regularly and reversely, the ball is spaced apart from the abutting member.
