doi:10.3901/JME.2019.05.204

Abstract

Abstract: In dry cutting mass production, the cold compressed air is used to cool the cutting zone. A thermodynamic model of air cooling system and a heat balance control method of dry cutting machine tool are presented, in order to solve the heat balance problem of dry cutting machine tool. The relation between thermodynamics parameters of compressed air at nozzle exit and parameters of air cooling system is analysed. Furthermore, the heat balance model of dry cutting machine tool is established. Based on it, a heat balance control method of dry cutting machine tool, which is realized with regulating the thermodynamics parameters and supply duration of compressed air, is proposed. Experiment on dry hobbing machine tool, shows that the proposed method can makes temperature of machine tool components fluctuated in an acceptable range.

Key words: air cooling system, dry cutting, thermal balance control, thermodynamic model
