Abstract
A milling and deep drilling machine operated by a control unit is provided, which commands the action of a robotic arm in a coordinated and automatic manner, being responsible for milling and deep drilling actions, and at least one technical tool storage cabinet. The robotic arm having a mobile structure, with a base structure along which a driving unit is moved, over sliding rails. The configuration of the milling mode in the machine is achieved by coupling a milling tool to the drive unit. For the configuration of the deep drilling mode, the base structure of the robotic arm has coupling device that allow the assembly of a cassette in which the deep hole drilling tool is installed
Claims2
A milling and drilling machine comprising:
- a robotic arm (1), configured to perform 3-dimensional linear movements over an entire interior space of the milling and deep drilling machine, the robotic arm comprising:
- a base structure (1.1) comprising sliding rails (1.2) and cassette-arm locking fittings (10);
- a drive unit (15) that moves along a longitudinal direction of the base structure (1.1) over the sliding rails (1.2);
- a removable milling tool (16) couplable to the drive unit (15);
- a removable cassette (2) comprising:
- a plurality of supports (7), each supporting a corresponding damper (6) for fixing a drilling tool (18) to the cassette (2);
- a tool tip (5) on one end of the removable cassette and a cone support (8) at an opposite end of the removable cassette (2);
- a further support (13) for guiding and supporting:
- (i) the plurality of supports (7);
- and (ii) the cone support (8);
- a support-spacing scissors (12);
- and
- an adjustment ruler (9);
- complementary cassette-arm locking fittings that connect to the cassette-arm locking fittings (10) of the base structure (1.1) of the robotic arm (1);
- a cone (8.1) that holds a bearing (8.2) for holding the cone (8.1) in the cone support (8), wherein the cone (8.1) is configured to couple to the drive unit (15);
- and
- a locking pin (8.4) for locking and unlocking the drilling tool (18) with respect to the cone (8.1);
- wherein the cone support (8) comprises:
- a fixed flange (8.8);
- a rotation lock (8.7) for locking the rotation of the cone (8.1), wherein the rotation lock (8.7) is embedded in the fixed flange (8.8);
- a mobile flange (8.3), facing the fixed flange (8.8), such that the cone (8.1) can be inserted in and removed from an opening between the mobile flange (8.3) and the fixed flange (8.8);
- a glide (8.5) for adjusting the positioning of the cone support (8) on the removable cassette (2);
- and
- a mechanical lock (8.6) for fixing the cone support (8) with respect to the further support (13);
- the milling and drilling machine further comprising:
- a technical cabinet (3) storing therein the removable milling tool (16) and the removable cassette (2), wherein the technical cabinet is in a location in the milling and drilling machine where the robotic arm (1) can reach;
- a control configured to operate the robotic arm (1) and the technical cabinet.
