要件や用途に応じて、さまざまな駆動・出力タイプを組み合わせます。

インプットと アウトプットのタイプ

MAPALは、5種類のドライブを使用して、作動ツールと機械ツールを結合します。機械の種類(マシニングセンターまたは専用機)に加えて、使用する機械に制御機能があるかどうかが決定的な要因になります。

6種類のダウンフォースは、移動と制御、および補正とリフトオフの領域に分けられます。

これらのタイプの入力と出力から、さまざまな組み合わせが可能になります。MAPAL製品のスペシャリストとお客様との緊密な連携により、最適な組み合わせを選択します。
 

インプットタイプの詳細

  • クーラント圧駆動タイプのMAPAL製作動工具。

    クーラント圧による 駆動

    クーラント圧がスライドのアクチュエーティン グ又は切れ刃の位置を制御します。送り速度 は絞り弁で手作業で設定します。スライド又 は切れ刃は内蔵された一式のばねで元の位 置に戻されます。 

  • An actuating tool from MAPAL with input by means of contact stop.

    コンタクトストップによる 駆動

    この方法ではコンタクトストップソケットはフ ィクスチャーまたはワークに当たります。その 後、ツールアダプターはツール内に押し込ま れ、スライドが出るように制御されます。送り 速度は機械の軸で決まります。スライドの引 き戻しは内蔵された一式のばねで行います。
     

  • In this case, the TOOLTRONIC U axis is used as type of input for actuating tools.

    Input by means of TOOLTRONIC U axis / U axis spindle integration

    As a self-contained drive module, TOOLTRONIC represents a fully-fledged NC axis integrated into the machine control system that makes possible a wide range of applications using inductive energy and bidirectional data transmission.
    The slide is actuated by an actuating motor in the tool. 

    As a general rule, actuating tools that were activated in the past by coolant pressure, the contact stop principle or using a drawbar, can be driven and controlled both on machining centres and special machines without actuating function with TOOLTRONIC.

  • An actuating tool from MAPAL for use on machines with U axis systems.

    Input by means of the machine's U axis

    The slide is actuated via the U axis on the machine tool. The feed rate is set via the U axis. As a rule this axis is rotary and a fully functional NC axis.

    Wherever machining centres are equipped with U axis systems, suitably prepared controllable tools can be used.

  • プル/プッシュロッドによって駆動されるMAPAL作動工具。

    Input by means of drawbar/push rod

    専用機では中央のドローバー/プッシュロッ ドをスライドの作動又は切れ刃の位置決め に使うことができます。送り速度はU軸を通し て調整します。元の位置への引き込みは同様 にこの軸を使って行います(NC制御)。
     

アウトプットタイプの詳細

  • Schematic representation of a linear slide from MAPAL actuating tools.

    Linear slide

    The linear slide, which is perpendicular to the centre line of the tool, is actuated via angled teeth on the drawbar/push rod.

    Machining operations:
    • Recessing
    • Contour turning
    • Facing
    • ​​​​​​​Thrust bearing turning

  •  Schematic representation of an inclined slide drive from MAPAL actuating tools.

    Inclined slide

    The inclined slide's angle in relation to the centre line of the tool that is not 90°. It is actuated via angled teeth on the drawbar/push rod.

    Typical machining operations:
    • Recessing
    • Chamfering
    • ​​​​​​​Taper turning

  • Schematic representation of a swivel slide drive used in MAPAL actuating tools.

    Pivoting slide

    The pivoting slide is operated via a central pin using an internal lever mechanism. A spherical segment is produced by the inherent rotation of the tool and the superimposed rotation of the pivoting slide. 

    Machining operations:
    • ​​​​​​​Turning spherical ball

  • Schematic representation of a rotary slide drive used in MAPAL actuating tools.

    Rotary slide

    The rotary slide is actuated via a combination of twist shaft and twist sleeve. During this process the axial movement of the twist shaft is converted into a rotation using a twist sleeve. The radial stroke is provided by an eccentric located slide.

    Typical machining operations:
    • ​​​​​​​Recessing
    • Contour turning
    • Facing
    • Thrust bearing turning

  • So-called deflection and tilting holders are also used as an output type for MAPAL actuating tools.

    Deflection and tilting holders

    An angled surface on the drawbar/push rod is responsible for the actuation of the cartridge on the deflection holder and the tilting holder. The holder is set to the appropriate centrifugal circle diameter depending on the position of the drawbar/push rod. 

    Typical machining operations:
    • Compensating cutting edge wear
    • Turning small contours
    • Recessing
