Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a linear guide unit provided with a length measuring system.
  • Such linear guide units are used for example in machine tool or in transport devices of assembly lines or in wood processing.
  • the length measuring systems enable a highly accurate positioning of the carriages at predetermined positions.
  • a linear bearing with a device for measuring wherein a guide carriage is arranged longitudinally displaceable on a guide rail.
  • the carriage is provided with a measuring head on the front side.
  • the guide rail is provided on its upper side with a groove into which a material measure is inserted.
  • the material measure is formed here in one piece with a cover strip, which is held non-positively in the groove of the guide rail.
  • the material measure can be glued to the ribbon. If a change in the material measure is required, this can only be achieved by replacing the material measure with the masking tape.
  • the scale or the material measure is adhered to the guide rail as delivered. In this case, a replacement of a material measure without replacement of the guide rail is difficult.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a linear guide unit according to the features of the preamble of claim 1, in which an exchange of the material measure is easily possible. According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the material measure in a the Measuring standard carrying hollow body is arranged, which is arranged at a distance from the guide rail and mounted at its ends.
  • the invention offers several advantages. First, it is ensured that the material measure can be replaced independently of the guide rail. For a change of the material measure, the guide rail need not be solved nor a masking tape to be removed. The material measure to be exchanged only needs to be removed from the hollow body, for example a pipe, and replaced by another material measure.
  • linear guide units can be realized with very long travel distances, without the need for additional supports for the material measure to avoid unwanted bending of the material measure; because the material measure only needs to be introduced into the hollow body, in which it is then supported evenly over its entire longitudinal extent.
  • a lubricant that reduces the sliding friction in contact of the material measure with the inner wall of the hollow body.
  • the material measure can be arranged within the clearance of the linear guide unit.
  • the width and height of the clearance profile of linear guide units are described in DIN 645-1 and -2 in the form of a table in which standardized sizes of the guide carriage are specified.
  • the manufacturers of linear guide units are held to this DIN.
  • the advantage of normalization is that for planning of assembly lines, for example, resorted to this standard and the required space requirements for the linear guide of objects can be well planned.
  • the integration of the material measure within the clearance gauge thus restricts the applicability of this standard in any way.
  • the choice of the known length measuring systems is not limited by the fact that the guide rail is usually made of steel. If the length measuring system is based on the inductive measuring principle, this measuring principle could not be used without special additional measures; because the usually formed of magnetic steel guide rail would complicate a perfect measurement at least. In contrast, in the case of the solution according to the invention, it is sufficient in this case to form the hollow body from a suitable material, for example plastic or non-magnetic steel.
  • clamping sleeve may be mounted at its two ends in each case on a bearing block and acted upon between these bearing blocks with a tensile stress.
  • the tension supports a perfect linear arrangement of the material measure, because it avoids sagging or bending of the scale carrying the clamping sleeve.
  • the tension can be applied by means of a tensioning device.
  • the clamping device on a clamping nut which is screwed onto a provided at one end of the clamping sleeve screw thread.
  • This screw thread can be mounted directly on the jacket of the clamping sleeve, but it can also be formed on a separate threaded sleeve, which is placed on the one end of the clamping sleeve and fastened thereto - eg. Welded - is.
  • the hollow body formed as a tube or clamping sleeve is mounted at its two ends in each case on a bearing block, which may be formed, for example, by a prism.
  • the above-mentioned clamping nut can be axially supported on one of these bearing blocks in order to transmit the axial tensile force of the clamped clamping sleeve to the one bearing block.
  • the clamping sleeve is then supported at its other end also axially on the other bearing block.
  • the material measure may comprise, for example, a stainless steel tube which is filled with a plurality of chromium-nickel elements arranged one behind the other.
  • the measuring head may be, for example, an aluminum casting containing a coil assembly and electronics.
  • the measuring head can surround the tubular measuring scale annularly.
  • the measuring head can be provided with a multiplicity of receiver coil sets. Each set may consist of four identical angles arranged at intervals of one pitch. Because of this distance, each coil is positioned in one set over an identical part of an adjacent chromium-nickel element. All coils of a set are connected in series.
  • the drive coil Due to the chromium-nickel element in the scale, the magnetic permeability of the scale changes periodically over a pitch.
  • the voltage induced in each group of probe coils changes according to the relative positions of the coils to the underlying chromium-nickel elements.
  • the coils are spaced so that when one group of coils is at the maximum, another group that is one-half of the chromium-nickel element pitch is at the minimum.
  • These coil pairs are differentially combined to produce signals that change with the shift. These combined signals are phase-shifted by the electronic circuits in the measuring head. postponed. The signals are added and filtered. The result is an output signal whose phase changes as the probe moves along the scale.
  • the inventively provided hollow body is formed of non-magnetic material. In this way it is ensured that magnetic field lines, as they occur in the measuring principle described above, are not disturbed.
  • FIG. 1 shows a linear guide unit according to the invention in perspective
  • Figure 2 is a schematic representation of the linear guide unit according to the invention in partial longitudinal section.
  • the linear guide unit according to the invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a guide carriage 2 guided longitudinally displaceably on a guide rail 1.
  • rolling elements not further illustrated here roll on raceways of the guide rail and the guide carriage under load. These tracks limit a load channel.
  • the rolling elements run in endless WälzSystemkanälen, each WälzSystem- channel having the already mentioned load channel, a return channel, and two the return passage and the load channel endlessly connecting deflection channels.
  • the deflection channels and the return channels are completely provided in the guide carriage 2.
  • the carriage 2 engages with its two legs 5, the guide rail 1, wherein the two legs 5 are connected to each other via a back 6.
  • On the one leg 5 is a through hole. 7 formed, through which a clamping sleeve 12 is passed.
  • This passage opening 7 is in the present case designed as a bore 8.
  • This leg 5 is provided to the one with only a dashed line indicated recess 9, in which a measuring head 3 of a length measuring device is used.
  • the clamping sleeve 12 is mounted at its two ends in each case on a bearing block 10, 1 1, both of which are designed as a fixed bearing.
  • the guide rail 1 has seen in cross-section on a prism-shaped profile.
  • the bearing blocks 10, 1 1 are provided with a corresponding prismatic profile, so that the bearing blocks 10, 1 1 are properly aligned with the guide rail 1.
