提升数控车床附加价值的新利器 －－高速气压回转缸 目前业界上数控车床最常使用的油压回转缸已经成为高阶机床高速化最大的瓶颈. 目前有许多高阶的数控车床采用马达内藏主轴的设计, 主轴转速已能突破10000RPM以上. 但其采用的油压回转缸因为热温升的问题. 将车床实际工作转速限制在仅7000RPM左右. 朝铨实业于2007年取得台湾省经济部工业局研发计划补助资金, 与台湾多家数控机床厂联盟合作, 成功开发一款中空气压回转缸JAL636-PL. 经实际测试, JAL636-PL气压回转缸在6500RPM时的缸体温升在摄氏8度以内. 能彻底解决传统油压回转缸的发热问题. 朝铨在2008年第二季, 将再投入研发经费, 开发一款外径148mm, 转速达12000RPM的高性能气压回转缸. 将帮助国内的数控车床产品以低成本的方式突破10000RPM的转速限制. 以下文章是由朝铨实业产品经理蔡昌升先生投稿于美国AeroSpace Manufacturing and Design的原文与译稿. A brand new open-center pneumatic cylinder was developed by JATO Precision for the high speed and high accuracy CNC lathes which use spring collets to clamp work-parts. JATO JAL636-PL pneumatic cylinder has extremely low temperature rising to avoid thermal error of spindle system of CNC lathes, and it also largely decreases building cost of the machine since no hydraulic pump, tank and cooler is needed. Today, more and more industrial parts are smaller in size and are required to be more accurate in dimension than they were in the past. Many machine builders find hydraulic cylinders which are being used most commonly in the industry today as actuator of power chuck or spring collets have an unsolvable problem - temperature rising. For instance, the surface temperature of a regular hydraulic cylinder may reach 60 degree Celsius or higher when operated at 5000RPM if no cooler is installed. And this high temperature rising causes unpredictable thermal error of the spindle system and it gets worse as RPM goes higher, making it hard to keep the work-part accurate no matter how accurate the spindle is. To suppress this temperature rising, the machine builders have to invest more on oil cooling equipment, and the cost goes higher when the RPM is required to be higher. JAL636-PL is powered by compressed air, meaning that the building cost of machines can be lowered by saving the purchase of a hydraulic tank and a hydraulic pump. The experiment shows the temperature rising of the cylinder body is less than 8 digresses Celsius when runn
