KOMtronic

Efficient actuating tool systems for turning contours with a stationary workpiece for machining centres
and special-purpose machines.

It makes turning contours possible when working with a stationary workpiece

The freely programmable KOMtronic U-axis system makes any contour and turning operations possible on non-rotationally symmetrical parts.
Combined with custom-made front tools and the optimum selection of inserts, contours in bores and external machining operations can be successfully carried out. This allows a considerable reduction in production times – with better surface quality and greater accuracy of form.

Installation support

In order to ensure that the KOMtronic U-Axis system is correctly incorporated into the machine and is able to carry out the required functions, the customer must provide clarification and comply with the necessary requirements:

01

Fitting the stator for non-contact power and data transmission to the KOMtronic U-Axis system. Care should be taken to ensure that no conflict occurs with other parts of the machine, the tool changer or similar units. SW obligations do not include provision of the adaptor element for the stator unit.

02

The customer will supply the inputs and outputs required for the KOMtronic U-Axis system on the machine side. The analogue axis unit required for operation with the U-Axis must be provided and configured for the machine control system by the customer.

03

The customer must carry out the necessary software adjustments for the machine sequence control before the installation.

04

Function clarification: Process requirements must be met with reference to machine and processing concept. For example cycle times and machining data must be clarified. The automatic tool changer must be rated for the total weight, and sufficient space must be available in the tool magazine.

Questions and answers regarding U-axis tools

Without a measuring system on the slide ± 0.01 mm for the diameter, with a measuring system ± 0.005 mm for the diameter. The measuring system has a resolution of < 1 μm (the level of accuracy that can be achieved depends on other machining influences, such as tool change errors, cutting edge wear, etc.).

Each cutting edge can be corrected via the tool management area of the NC control system. Settings can also be made in this way for tools with short clamping holders.

No, the U-axis or slide is always in the same position. The insert position can be corrected directly in the machine via an in-process measurement.

No, it can easily be released using an interface connection (optional).

When the snap-on tool is mounted centrally on the slide so that the weight distribution is completely balanced the speed is max. 4000 rpm, stroke-dependent actuation.

A variety of machining processes can be used (finishing and roughing). The slide has a maximum power of 4000 N and a permissible torque of 200 Nm. However, the possible usage data depends on the overall length of the tool and the U-axis.

The U-axis is driven by a servo motor. Slides in the UAS115/160 series are driven by a low-backlash roller screw drive.

The range of application is 0.5 – 500 mm, taking into consideration the relevant projection length and attachment point.

There are several possible cutting edges depending on the NC control system and tool design.

The U-axis is always changed in the central position. This enables the snap-on tool to be measured on a dummy in the presetting device. In addition, post-process measurement with automated cutting edge correction is possible via the tool management.

Recommended 1x year or every 2 years at the latest.

With regular maintenance and care and the replacement of wear parts, a service life of > 6,500 operating hours is realistic, corresponding to approximately 10 years.

Yes, taking into account the usual specifications for tools in multi-spindle machines.

KOMtronic UAS-115: Up to dia. approx. 250 mm
KOMtronic UAS-160: Up to dia. approx. 500 mm
taking into consideration the relevant projection length and attachment point.

U-axes are used vertically and horizontally. Compare with the advantages and disadvantages of a conventional tool (centrifugal forces).
