Research Abstract |
A new type of active restrictor for obtaining an infinite-stiffness hydrostatic equipment is proposed. This active restictor is called a Hydrostatically Controlled Restrictor (HCR). The HCR is incorporated into a hydrostatic bearing and a hydrostatic lead screw, and it is confirmed that static stiffness of the hydrostatic bearing and lead screw can be infinite. The negative stiffness is also obtained. To decrease the squeeze effect caused by the oil film on the bearing surface, the oil film thickness is increases and a low-viscocity oil is used. The step response of the hydrostatic bearing with the HCR is measured and it is shown that the settling time is about 0.2msec. The measured settling time is fairly short, however, the settling time should be shorter for a practical application. A feed drive device which comprises these infinite-stiffness hydrostatic bearing and lead screw is made. A stepping motor is used to move the table of the feed drive device. The straightness of the table motion of the feed drive device is in the order of 0.1um. An aluminum alloy is cut by using the feed drive device and a diamond cutting tool ; the aluminum alloy mounted on the table is moved relative to the fixed tool. The surface roughness of the cut surface is Rmax=0.15um. From these analyses, it is shown that the hydrostatic equipments with the HCR can be used in a precision machine tool or a precision measuring machine.
