Metallic or ceramic workpiece surface processing e.g. grinding process, device, has tool spindle supported at radial bearings and axial bearing, where bearings are designed as adjustable magnetic bearing with adjustable bearing slots

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The device has a spindle unit (1) with a tool spindle (3) rotatably driven by a spindle drive (2). A tool (5) that operates on a workpiece (4) is fastenable at the tool spindle, and a moving equipment (8) is provided for the spindle unit. The tool spindle in the spindle unit is supported at radial bearings (13a, 13b) and an axial bearing (14). The radial bearings and/or the axial bearing is designed as an adjustable magnetic bearing with adjustable bearing slots. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a method for surface processing of a metallic or ceramic workpiece. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Used for surface processing e.g. finishing process, grinding process or lapping process, of a metallic or ceramic workpiece. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The method enables high precision and flexible processing of different metallic or ceramic workpieces and surfaces with a compact and economical structure. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic side view of a device for surface processing of a metallic or ceramic workpiece. 1 : Spindle unit 2 : Spindle drive 3 : Tool spindle 4 : Workpiece 5 : Tool 8 : Moving equipment 13a, 13b : Radial bearings 14 : Axial bearing.
