Innovative Design Development for a Simple Turret Index Model Utilizing Torque Motor Technology

The project team, comprising Matt Buonanno, Owen Brown, Brian Heeran, Eric Newcomb, Steven Paul, Brice Wert, and Robert Yarbrough, is focused on theoretically developing a design for a simple turret index model. The design will incorporate a torque motor and assess feasibility for future applications. An extensive benchmark study and testing of competitors' turret data will guide the evaluation. The team aims to confirm theoretical findings and verify the competitive advantages of integrating torque motors into CNC machines, culminating in design recommendations for pilot builds.

  1. World Turret Design • Team Members: • Matt Buonanno • Owen Brown • Brian Heeran • Eric Newcomb • Steven Paul • Brice Wert • Robert Yarbrough

  2. Project Mission Statement • The mission of the project team is to theoretically develop a design for a simple turret index model. This design shall incorporate a torque motor and be used to evaluate the feasibility of future applications. The team shall conduct an extensive benchmark study as well as perform testing on competitors turrets published data. A feasibility evaluation resulting in design recommendations will be conducted. Upon review the team shall then develop the selected design in preparation for pilot builds.

  3. Concept Development • Main Drive – Torque Motor • Top Plate – 12 Tooling Stations (off shelf) • Coupler – Locks motor and top plate (off shelf) • Piston – Connects top plate to coupler (off shelf) • Housing – Cast iron, interface with x-y axis slides

  4. Preliminary Concepts

  5. Preliminary Concepts Continued

  6. System Model • Torque motor response to step input voltage • Optimized around a single station to station index motion

  7. Concept Evaluation Process • Designs were evaluated based on the following characteristics. • Indexing Time • Static Stiffness/Rigidity • Repeatability • Weight/Volume • Simplicity

  8. Design Concerns • Heat generation and removal • Sealing the motor • Bearings • Static Stiffness • Thermal Deflection • Dynamic response to electrical input

  9. Desired Outcomes • Confirmation of published data using a validated experimental process. • Verify the feasibility of Torque Motor implementation into CNC machines. • Demonstrate competitive advantage through the use of Torque Motor.
