In this study a biaxial hydrostatic lathe was designed and fabricated,and the moving precision and the machining characteristics of the machinewere investigated; the results were compared with the data for Moore'sultra-precision lathe. The base of the machine was made of granite andthe frame was composed of closed-loop hydrostatic slideways; a servomotor pump with accumulator was used to supply steady hydraulicpressure and the carriage was driven by a linear motor. Results ofaccuracy measurements indicated that in X-direction the bidirectionalpositioning accuracy was 1.391 ìm, repeatability was 1.28 ìm, horizontalstraightness was 19.81 ìm and vertical straightness was 4.5 ìm; in Z-direction the bidirectional positioning accuracy was 1.345 ìm, repeatabilitywas 1.016 ìm, horizontal straightness was 5.26 ìm and verticalstraightness was 6.18 ìm. A machining test for aluminum alloy sampleswas performed using a diamond tool with a nose radius of 1.002 mm, at aspindle speed of 2000 rpm, a feeding rate of 5 mm/min, and a cutting depthof 5 ìm. For planar samples the form error (PV) was 0.283 ìm/42.6 mmand the surface roughness was Ra 0.0281 μm; for spherical samples theform error (PV) was 0.178 ìm/10.8 mm, the surface roughness was Ra0.0255 ìm. The results indicate that the biaxial hydrostatic lathe fabricatedby the authors can produce samples with sub-micron machiningaccuracy. |
