How is the accuracy of cnc pipe bending machine bending the aircraft tubing?

A few years ago, the accuracy of the cnc pipe bending machine was not the main contradiction. Because the process of bending is not so much science, it is better than art. Machine repeat ability is more important. When the setting is satisfactory, the bending machine only needs to repeat the bend. Nowadays, the materials are expensive and the batch size is small. Aircraft manufacturers must look for machines that can be accepted for the first time. Therefore, the first step in producing a good product is to have a sophisticated machine.

A few years ago, the accuracy of the cnc pipe bending machine was not the main contradiction. Because the process of bending is not so much science, it is better than art. Machine repeat ability is more important. When the setting is satisfactory, the bending machine only needs to repeat the bend. Nowadays, the materials are expensive and the batch size is small. Aircraft manufacturers must look for machines that can be accepted for the first time. Therefore, the first step in producing a good product is to have a sophisticated machine.

The benefits of some precision cnc pipe bending machine are obvious. If the tube is produced for the first time, the productivity will increase and the defective rate will drop. Some of the benefits are not obvious: if a factory has several bending machines, as long as the machines are sophisticated, the bend data of the good work pieces can be shared. This is an important difference between accuracy and repeat ability. A single machine can be repetitive, producing the same product at the same time with the same data; but a group of machines must be sophisticated in order to produce the same product on the same data on any of the machines.

Rotary pull elbows are commonly used in the aircraft industry, where the tubes are formed along a rotating bending die. The production process is relatively simple: pipe positioning, bending, pipe to the next bend position. The accuracy of the bending machine can be divided into three curved tube forming axes: the bending length (DBB), the bending plane (POB), and the bending angle (DOB).

A typical aircraft conduit linear requirement is +/- .010 inches. However, due to the long length of the conduit, it is more realistic to specify the basic accuracy and then accumulate tolerances per foot. The accuracy of modern CNC cnc pipe bending machines is +/- .004 inches, plus an accumulated tolerance of +/- .001 inches per foot. Repeatability is +/- .004 inches for the entire length.

The accuracy of the two rotating axes of the aircraft quality cnc pipe bending machine is +/- 0.01 degrees and the repeatability is +/- 0.05 degrees.

There are several designs on the CNC bending machine to ensure these high precision. On the C-axis, the feedback element (usually a high-resolution encoder) is mounted directly on the elbow arm to directly read the position. On small cnc pipe bending machines, if the encoder is likely to interfere with the pipe, it can be operated by parallel links. The bearings at the joints must have very small tolerances to reduce migration and maintain accuracy.

The B-axis of the bending machine is usually driven by several stages of speed reduction mechanisms. The feedback encoder is mounted on the last stage drive shaft to optimize accuracy and repeatability.

The Y-axis of the bending machine has special problems. Aircraft ducts are much longer than other industries. The most efficient positioning methods are gears and racks. To achieve an accuracy of +/- .001 inches per foot, precision ground racks, high quality gears and direct drive feedback must be used.

Another design requirement for a precision bending machine is that the servo system of the positioning shaft must be "hard". The movement of the mechanical components must be minimal and the electronic servo loop must be positioned and maintained within the required tolerances.

There are other factors that affect the accuracy of the workpiece when using a very precise bending machine. These process variables include various material properties and dimensional tolerances, tooling and tooling settings, lubrication, and weld location.

The working principle of the elbow of China single head cnc pipe bending machine is shown in the figure: The elbow mold is fixed on the main shaft and rotates with the main shaft. The movable auxiliary guiding material chute is closely attached to the curved outer side of the tube blank. When the bending tube mold is rotated by an angle, the tube is wound around the circumferential direction of the bending tube mold, and the rotation angle of the bending tube mold is the bending angle.

The movable auxiliary guiding material chute is closely attached to the curved outer side of the tube blank. When the bending tube mold is rotated by an angle, the tube is wound around the circumferential direction of the bending tube mold, and the rotation angle of the bending tube mold is the bending angle. The three-dimensional multi-bend of the same radius realized on one pipe member mainly has three major actions of linear feeding, space rotating pipe and elbow, that is, after completing a bending, the pipe is sent to the next bending position and rotated through a space angle. Then proceed to the next bend to obtain a space bend with the same bend radius. The bending mode determines the bending radius. The pipe is fixed on the clamping groove of the fan-shaped bending die by the clamping die. The numerical control pipe bending machine is mainly composed of three parts: a mechanical part, a hydraulic system and a PLC control system. The mechanical part mainly consists of a pipe clamping device, a bending pipe transmission device, a boosting device, a bed body and a bending pipe mold.
The design and manufacturing level of power station boilers has been improved from time to time, with the rapid development of China's power industry. New furnace types are constantly appearing. The demand for the number and specifications of various curved molded pipe fittings in the boiler manufacturing industry is increasing from time to time. The patterns are refurbished from time to time, and higher requirements are placed on the accuracy of the pipe bending and the quality of the exterior. When the old design single head cnc pipe bending machine is processed, it can only complete one bending at a time, often loading and unloading, and the production efficiency is low, and the simultaneous improvement of the output and the quality cannot be achieved. The application of PLC single head hydraulic pipe bending machine control system overcomes the defects that the relay contact control system is susceptible to environmental interference, high failure rate and difficult maintenance. In addition, you only need to modify the software to adapt to the changes in the new process requirements.

What are the factors that affect the quality of cnc pipe bending machine?

What are the factors that affect the quality of cnc pipe bending machine?

When cnc pipe bending machine is purely bent, the outer tension of the neutral layer of the elbow is thinned under the influence of the external force, and the inner pressure is thickened by the action of this, and the cross section of the pipe is due to the resultant force. A change has occurred, causing a drop in the quality of the bend.

1. When cnc pipe bending machine is purely bent, the outer tension of the neutral layer of the elbow is thinned under the influence of the external force, and the inner pressure is thickened by the action of this, and the cross section of the pipe is due to the resultant force. A change has occurred, causing a drop in the quality of the bend.
2. When the elbow is bent, the outer tensile force becomes thicker and the inner pressure becomes thinner. The orientation and the way of bending are different. In the process of compression and bending, the neutral axis is at a third of the distance from the outer wall. When working in the cornering, the neutral axis is at two-thirds of the distance from the outer wall. It can be seen that the use of the method of turning is beneficial for bending thin-walled pipes.
3, the accuracy of the bending tire is one of the reasons that can directly determine the quality of the bending tube, when making the bending tire, the size must be controlled within the specified range.
4. There are two reasons for the impact on the quality of the bent pipe: the bending property of the bent pipe itself, and the degree of corrosion of the curved pipe surface. At the time of operation, the staff must first know which raw materials are processed, and have an understanding of the processing performance, especially the degree of corrosion of the surface.

In recent years, cnc pipe bending machine are more and more widely used in the processing of fine pipe fittings, the use of more and more ordinary, which puts forward higher requirements for the accuracy of single head cnc pipe bending machine. So in recent years, this problem has been recognized and valued by more and more people.
(1) reduce the roughness of the workpiece's outer wall.
The surface roughness of the outer wall of the workpiece is related to the surface roughness of the ring groove on the bender wheel, and also to the nature and quality of the pipe. In order to make the workpiece look smoother after machining, the roughness of the outer surface of the bending metal pipe can be guaranteed to meet the requirements of the index as long as proper lubricating oil is applied to the surface of the ring groove on the wheel to reduce the friction between the contacting surfaces during operation.
(2) tube section shape accuracy
The accuracy of pipe section shape depends on the assembly accuracy of pipe bender and the shape accuracy of ring groove on the processing wheel and the reverse deformation wheel. As long as the operator guarantees the position accuracy of the two annular grooves formed on the assembled pipe bender and keeps enough dimension allowance according to the principle of elastic-plastic deformation of materials, the higher section shape accuracy of the pipe can be obtained.
(3) ensure the error limit of bending arc length of pipes.
According to the design drawings of the workpiece, the bending arc length of the metal pipe should be controlled within the precision range specified in the drawings.

What happens to the improper adjustment of the hydraulic system of the hydraulic automatic pipe bending machine?

What happens to the improper adjustment of the hydraulic system of the hydraulic automatic pipe bending machine?

The mechanism of the hydraulic automatic cnc pipe bending machine may be a power supply. It is mainly used to provide hydraulic control for the automatic pipe bending machine to control the pressure oil and adjust the displacement of the main pump. Once the hydraulic system is improperly adjusted, there will be serious consequences. Too high or too low will not work.

The mechanism of the hydraulic automatic cnc pipe bending machine may be a power supply. It is mainly used to provide hydraulic control for the automatic pipe bending machine to control the pressure oil and adjust the displacement of the main pump. Once the hydraulic system is improperly adjusted, there will be serious consequences. Too high or too low will not work.
If the pressure of the hydraulic automatic pipe bender is too high, the hydraulic pump will operate at a pressure exceeding the rated pressure, causing the pump to overload, resulting in an increase in oil temperature.
If the pressure of the hydraulic automatic pipe bending machine system is too low, the working mechanism will frequently open and unload the overflow valve under normal load, which will cause the hydraulic system to overflow and generate heat.
The error derivation formula caused by the differential pressure transmitter of the automatic pipe bending machine shows that the main reason is due to the existence of the height difference when the differential pressure is calculated, that is, H≠0. In order to eliminate the existence of H, the two pressure points of the elbow sensor are required to be in the same horizontal plane. That is to say, in principle, a horizontal arrangement scheme may be adopted. However, when the horizontal scheme cannot be adopted, the length of the differential pressure pipeline and the online real-time compensation scheme should be shortened.
In the discussion of the formula of the radius of curvature ratio caused by thermal expansion, it can be known that when L1=L2, the deviation length of R' and R is the smallest, that is, it is required to make the lengths of straight pipes on both sides of the elbow as equal as possible. In addition, in order to reduce the concentration of stress in the pipeline at the elbow flow-meter, the method of dividing the elongation may be adopted, that is, separately setting the expansion joint or considering the length of the elbow flow-meter on both sides of the elbow flow-meter. π type installation method.
The fluid flowing through the elbow generates a centripetal acceleration motion due to the centripetal force exerted by the tube wall, forming an overall spatial rotational flow. (Flow State Expression) The intensity of the flow centripetal acceleration motion is characterized by the centripetal acceleration of the fluid and can be determined by measuring the fluid differential pressure signal inside and outside the elbow. Under the condition that the bending diameter ratio (bending degree) and the density of the fluid medium are known, the flow rate can be calculated by the formula when the differential pressure between the inner and outer diameters is measured.
