Application Of Harmonic Drive In Machine Tool Industry ---- Tool Magazine

Working conditions:

By controlling the rotation and positioning of different types of cutterhead, fast and efficient tool change can be realized

Products:

Harmonic drives

J1: LCS-25-50-C-I

J2: LCS-25-100-C-I

J3: LHS-25-160-C-I

Attention:

1) There is cutting fluid splashing in machine tool processing, and the product surface should do an anti-rust treatment.

2) There are requirements for the rotating accuracy, vibration, and noise of the product.

Advantages:

1. In terms of accuracy, linear guideway or planetary reducer are commonly used in the tool magazine of machine tools. Tool magazine needs to use a high-precision planetary reducer with an accuracy of fewer than 3 minutes of arc. The price of it is similar to that of a harmonic reducer.

2. In terms of volume, the axial length of the planetary reducer is longer than that of the harmonic reducer, and space is saved after using harmonic drives.

3.  In terms of after-sales service: the tool magazine has a more comfortable working condition for harmonic reducers and needs no after-sales service.

4. In terms of price and delivery time, the tool magazine has a single model and stable delivery time. With the increase of quantity, the production cost will be reduced, and the annual purchase cost is reduced year by year, which even has an advantage over the high-precision planetary price.

Future trend:

With the increasing market demand for the efficiency, size, function, and accuracy of machine tool processing, the harmonic reducer can reduce the internal space, rotate more forms of tool magazine. More and more machine tool manufacturers will choose the harmonic drives for the solutions of tool magazine.
