Igus正在扩展其3D印刷和在线订购产品,包括定制格式的齿皮带轮。齿皮带轮是许多机器中的常见组件,广泛用于打印机,机器人和包装机的线性驱动器中。但是,如果需要单个变体,则开发自定义组件可能需要数天甚至几周。
“The delivery times for such custom parts often amount to several weeks,” says Tom Krause, Head of Additive Manufacturing at igus. “To shorten delivery times for special-format belt pulleys, we now offer manufacturing by 3D printing, reducing delivery times from several weeks to just 48 hours.”
In the igus in-house 3,800 -m2test laboratory, the high-performance polymer iglide i3 competed against an injection-molded and a milled spur gear made of polyoxymethylene (POM) in a pivot test at a speed of 0.1 m/sec, a torque of 2.2 Nm and an extreme temperature of 1,440°C (2,624°F). All spur gears had a width of 16 mm and 30 teeth. The result: the milled spur gear failed after 12,500 cycles, and the injection-molded variant after 4,000 cycles. The 3D-printed gear made of iglide i3, on the other hand, withstood almost 20,000 cycles.
克劳斯说:“除了iGlide i3外,我们还为食品领域提供了符合FDA的i6版本,以及用于爆炸区域的静电耗散变体i8。”“所有高性能的塑料都具有稳健性和耐磨性,即使是钢和铝制皮带皮带轮的经济和可靠的替代品。”
用法兰轮的牙齿皮带轮的生产特别复杂,很难使用床和铣床从单件金属中产生。但是,来自Igus的3D Print服务加快了制造,因为零件是一件打印的,并且在线配置器使订购易于订购。
设计师可以通过拖放式拖放在网站上上传零件的CAD模型,以立即确定价格并下订单。如果设计师没有数字型号,则可以使用皮带轮配置器在几分钟内配置一个模型。用户只需输入诸如皮带轮廓和牙齿数量之类的规格,然后配置器创建一个步骤文件,用户可以上传到网站。
“来回呼叫或通过电子邮件发送CAD模型是耗时的步骤,由于在线配置器,它们变得容易得多。这使我们能够加快订购过程并为设计师提供进一步的时间优势。”
