Design and Dynamic Deformation Analysis for Elastic Cutter Fixture of Tool Grasper Mechanism on Disc Type Tool Magazine with Double Loop Cutters

Abstract

Double loop cutters arrangement can settle the contradiction between rotational inertia of the tool magazine and the dimension limitation of the cutter head effectively, and increase the store of tools. Disc type tool magazine with double loop cutters arrangement is designed and researched. The spring steel 65Mn is used to manufacture elastic cutter fixture as the holding device for its inner and outer loop tools. The dynamic deformation of elastic cutter fixture is discussed. The entire geometric movement process of elastic cutter fixture from being opened by the tool holder to accomplishing the whole action is analyzed. The effect and trend of inner stress caused by geometric deformation are studied. Furthermore, the force condition in each part of tool fixture can be calculated, thus predicting the motion stability and reliability of the elastic cutter fixture, and providing theory references for the design of elastic cutter fixture.
