Guiding significance.
A crankshaft production line invested by Shenlong Company in recent years has only 17 processes and 19 sets of equipment. It is a U-shaped line layout with an area of ​​only 1 400m2 and a cycle time of 1.3min. It is equipped with 6 robots and only 8 operators. The annual output is 1.6. T/1.8T two kinds of turbocharged engine crankshafts of 200,000, its remarkable feature is the use of new crankshaft processing technology in recent years, such as quality center hole, high-speed external milling, the use of CNC crankshaft grinder, etc., simplifying the process , stabilize the processing process and improve the processing quality. Through the extensive use of CNC control technology and robots, an automatic production line has been formed, which has reduced the number of operators, shortened the processing time of single-piece products, and improved production efficiency.
1. Crankshaft machining process
Typical process flow for crankshaft machining of passenger car turbocharged engine: dynamic balance, center hole punching → car 5th spindle neck → car flange → roughing spindle neck, connecting rod neck and shoulder shoulder → drilling oil passage hole and pouring Angle → rough grinding spindle neck, connecting rod neck journal, side wall and undercutting groove → cleaning, drying, rounding rolling → finishing car, rolling stop surface + finishing small end → fine car flange end face and Groove→finish the main journal, connecting rod neck, small end→machined threaded hole at both ends, pin hole and hinge flange end center hole→finishing crankshaft flange end→crankshaft dynamic balance de-weight→sand belt polishing spindle neck The connecting rod neck and the outer neck of the flange → automatic inspection, marking → final cleaning of the crankshaft.
2. Application of advanced technology
(1) Dynamic balance and quality center hole. The positioning reference in the process of crankshaft machining is the center hole. According to its machining position, it can be divided into geometric center hole and mass center hole. The geometric center of the main bearing journal of the crankshaft can be found by V-shaped block or other means, and the center is machined out. The central hole is called the geometric center hole. The center of mass of the crankshaft is measured using dedicated test equipment, and the central hole machined in this center is called the center hole of the mass. When the geometric center hole is used for subsequent car and grinding, the workpiece rotates to generate centrifugal force, which will affect the processing quality, and the remaining dynamic unbalance after machining is large. In the dynamic balancing process, it is necessary to repeatedly measure and de-weight to achieve Technical requirements, low efficiency, affecting the production cycle, resulting in increased scrap rate of semi-finished products and loss of positioning components. Using the center hole of the quality can solve such problems and improve the cycle beat.
Figure 1 shows the COMAU SYMES10 crankshaft mass center measuring machine. The crankshaft is placed in the squirrel cage of the equipment and rotated together with the squirrel cage. The unbalance of the squirrel cage and the part is measured as M, and the unbalanced amount of the squirrel cage (M1) It is known that the unbalance amount of the part is M2 = M - M1. Through the special calculation formula, the equipment can automatically calculate the coordinate position of the balance shaft of the crankshaft through M2, and transmit the measurement result to the machining center of COMAUSDC700L automatic crankshaft. The measurement uncertainty is ≤40μm, and the crankshaft of multiple varieties can be measured. The parts can be automatically identified, the cycle time is 1.2min, and the equipment is simple and reliable.
