Hardinge Universal Turret05412- Senior Design Project Project Sponsor: Hardinge Inc.
Team Members Matt Buonanno - ME Owen Brown - ME Brian Heeran - ISE Steven Paul - ME Brice Wert - ME Eric Newcomb - ME Robert Yarbrough - ME
Scope Introduction • Turret • Indexing • Cutting • Movement
Project Scope • Design a simple turret index model • Benchmarking • Torque Motor Integration • Design • Analysis • Prototyping
Accomplishments • Needs Assessment & Benchmarking • Concept Development • Design Objectives • Feasibility Assessments • Preliminary Design • Hardinge Review
Long Term Objectives • Complete project on time meeting technological/performance requirements. • Expanding relations between Hardinge Inc. and RIT • Gather data to establish the feasibility of future torque motor applications. • Demonstrate competitive advantage through the use of Torque Motor.
Benchmarking • Goals • Determine current state of industry • Evaluate feasibility of new design • Turret Selection • Chosen to represent cross-section of manufacturer’s offerings • Chosen to maintain data compatibility
Benchmarking Cont. • Benchmarking Conclusions • New turret design should be designed around a 12 station turret • Need to strive to attain an indexing time of less than 0.15 seconds
Traditional Motors vs. Torque Motors Traditional drive with motor and gear box Gear box Motor Customer machine • Large outside diameter allows for more poles, and windings thus allowing for higher torques. • Large diameter means higher torque can be generated with the same power input. Direct drive with torque motor Customer machine 1FW3..
Torque Motor Technology • Reduced Cost • Improved Reliability • High Accuracy & Repeatability • High Efficiency
Characteristic: Short compact design Gear unit / belt drives eliminated Hollow shaft design Few mechanical components No torsional backlash Increased rigidity Torque Motor Benefits • Customer Benefit: • Simple integration into the machine • Easy to service (no gear box oil) • Improved efficiency • Flexible mounting concepts • Advantage in mounting and logistics • Improved repeatability • Improved control characteristics • Low noise system • Increased dynamic performance
Torque Motor Availability Options • 4 different rotor models available off the shelf from ETEL, Inc. • Selected model based upon: • Project Torque Requirements. • Length • Heat Generation • Cost
Technological Attributes Designs must include the use of a torque motor. Design shall have as few parts as possible. Design must include current top plate locking mechanism used by Hardinge in their Quest series turret. Design Objectives Performance Attributes • Designs must equal or exceed current industry leader performance attributes such as index time, repeatability, and static stiffness. • Designs must result in increased reliability. • Designs shall incorporate adequate cooling of the torque motor.
Concept Development • Project Scope Redefinition • Locking Mechanism • Cooling • Common Tooling • Live Tooling • 6 Conceptual Designs Developed
Design Concerns • Heat generation and removal • Thermal Deflection • Sealing the motor • Bearings • Static Stiffness • Controller Interface • Component ordering lead time
Preliminary Design Top Plate Assembly Housing Bearings Top Plate Interface Support Structure Torque Motor Coupler
System Dynamics • The response of the motor to a command to index the turret between station one and two. • Shown with no tooling on top plate.
Finite Element Stress Analysis • Output from finite element software based on indexing load of 700 N-m torque. • Max Von Mises Stress found to be 22.7 MPa. • Yield strength of steel 285 MPa. • Factor of safety of 10.4.
Finite Element Stress Analysis • Output from finite element software based on indexing load of 700 N-m torque. • Max Von Mises Stress found to be 19 MPa. • Yield strength of steel 285 MPa. • Factor of safety of 15.8.
Future Plan • Detailed Design • Pilot Builds • Iterative Problem Solving • Testing & Analysis • Hardinge Review
