[0001] The method of the invention allows rapid clamping and holding thin tubes to perform machining operations such as multiple drilling of cylindrical or oblong holes and operations such as tube cutting or deburring. These thin tubes have the particularity of being very flexible diametrically and being able to deform very easily during their maintenance; these tubes can be obtained from metal sheets welded at their ends or from extruded metal. They can be made of steel of any shade or even stainless, titanium, aluminum, wood, composite or plastic. This process allows the machining of tubes of different sections with great accuracy without damaging their initial characteristics such as their geometry or surface condition. It should be noted that these tubes may have square, circular or any other geometry, their main characteristic being to have thin walls and easily deformable. Currently, thin tubes are drilled with appropriately shaped forests of special steel or solid carbide or grinding-type tools, this operation is possible by inserting inside the tube a solid tube or a handle which plays the role martyr. Often the drilling or more generally machining of the tubes are performed manually using a drilling template as a tube of larger section concentric to the tube to be machined and equipped with drilling guns. These artisanal processes have the advantage of a low initial investment but a random accuracy and repeatability, insufficient for modern industrial applications. Thin tubes can also be wrapped by half-shell jaws that hold the tube on either side of the hole to be drilled. Depending on the number of holes, the number of tubes to be machined, the position of the holes and the available budget, the positioning of the tube is automated. In the case of a large series with different sections of tubes and diameters of different holes to drill, it is not profitable to manually change the tools namely mainly the jaws at each change in tube size. Hence the interest of the proposed method. The invention is composed of cylindrical jaws (6) Figure 3 type barrels which will be called barrels later, cylindrical. This barrel is angularly positioned on a barrel holder (19) about an axis (3) FIG. 6. The barrel holder (19) FIG. 6 comprises a square portion with a reference vertical face and a reference horizontal face which fits in the 2 hollow pins (1) and (16) Figure 1, these pins have a bore of complementary shape. These pins that allow the orientation and clamping of the barrel holders are part of a patented mechanism FR 2779676 A1. Each barrel holder that is fitted into the spindle is held in position and locked in it. screw aid (5) according to FR 2884445 A1. Each barrel (6) consists of a central portion pivotally connected to the axis of the barrel holder (3). The outer portion of the barrel is composed of moving parts radially in slide connection and normal to the axis of rotation of the barrel. Each cylinder has a number of bores respectively of complementary geometries to the tubes to be machined which will allow the positioning of the thin tubes on only one semicircle which can be considered as a half-shell; the other half-shell is part of a movable part (10) or (11) or (12) or (13) or (14) or (15) or (17) or (18) figure 4, pushed by a flat clamping cylinder (9) and guided by a complementary shape cut in the cylinder. Each barrel has a number of bores compatible with the diameter of the barrel so that the tubes can pass through the free passage of the dividers pins (1) and (16).
[0002] Figure (1) shows the two dividers (2) and (8) facing each other with the pins (1) and (16) equipped with their barrels (6) which hold the tube for the machining operation. Figure (2) shows the inside of the hollow spindle (1).
[0003] Figure (3) shows a barrel (6) alone with different diameters of tubes. Figure (4) shows the assembly mounted in front view. Figure (5) shows a barrel holder (19) equipped with its barrel (6) and the clamping cylinder (9) ready to be mounted in its spindle. Figure (6) shows the barrel holder (19) alone ready to be mounted in the spindle. The embodiment shown in the diagrams concerns circular section tubes in order to simplify the diagrams.
[0004] In reality, the tubes may have other sections that may be rectangular, square, hexagonal or of any geometry such as angles. With reference to these drawings, obtaining the geometries of drilling and removal of material in the tubes is obtained with a machining spindle. In reality these geometries can also be obtained by replacing the machining spindle by a water jet head or a laser head or a plasma torch or a combination of these different material removal solutions. In the same way it is possible to replace the main machining spindle or to add to this main spindle an automatic screwdriver allowing to screw self-drilling or non-self drilling screws automatically. With reference to these drawings, depending on the diameter of the tube to be clamped, it is possible to equip the barrel holders of the corresponding barrel and to mount this assembly manually in the appropriate pins and to block them by the screws (5); these 2 barrels will be face to face in the 2 pins according to an angular reference start position and locked relative to the barrel holder. After the introduction of the tube following an operation that can be automatic, the clamping of the half-shells is obtained by the action of the flat jack (9) which bears on its barrel holder (19) allowing the positioning and clamping of the tube . Numerical programming supports spindle movements and tools for machining operations. This device according to the invention is intended for clamping thin tubes on a numerically controlled machine for drilling, machining and sawing operations all around the periphery of the tube. This device is suitable for machining between the two divisors (2) and (8) facing each other and whose axial relative positions are determined by numerical control. Maintaining the tube over its entire periphery makes it possible to make a length of the tube directly to the cutting tool without the need for a saw. It is possible to cut the tube by combining the rotational movement of this tube which rotates about the axis of rotation of the divider and the translational movement of a rotating cutting tool placed in the main spindle, normal to the axis of the tube.
[0005] It is possible to quickly change the section of the tube to be machined by first loosening the clamping cylinder (9) of the barrel holder (19). The choice of keeping the cylinder in position in the new desired angular position is obtained with solutions already known as solutions such as spring balls on the barrel holder and positioning hole in the barrel.
[0006] Another solution is to engage the barrel holder on the barrel. The operation of positioning the cylinder in the angular position is possible either manually or using a handling robot or through the movement of the main spindle on which a specific tool has been spindled. A particular embodiment is to use a screwdriver-shaped tool in the main spindle; the rotational movement of the main spindle allows via the screwdriver to drive so rotate a gear connected to the barrel around another gear connected to the barrel holder. Thus according to the number of laps made by the main spindle, it is possible to automatically choose, thanks to the numerical control, the new section of sections to be maintained and clamped with a very good angular precision. Depending on the available budget and the allowed time for changing the angular position of the barrels, one or other of the angular position change and position retention solutions will be used.
