MAGNETIC CHUCK.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed April 22, 1911.
Patented July 28, 1914.
Serial No. 622,674.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, LOUIS W. DowNEs, of Providence, Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Magnetic Chucks, which invention is fully set forth in the following specification.
This invention relates to improvements in magnetic chucks and has for its primary object to provide means whereby the same chuck may be enabled to hold pieces of work of different sizes and shapes without the intervention of special clamping devices.
While m improvements are applicable to magnetic c ucks in general, they will be described in connection with a rotary magnetic chuck having a casing constituting one pole and a plurality of magnet cores which constitute a multiple and opposite pole, enerw gized by interchangeable magnet coils which are adapted to be slipped on and off the cores thereby avoiding the necessity of rewinding the cores in case of accident. Such arrangement of coils forms the subject-matter of my copending application Serial No. 573,114, filed July 21, 1910.
In machining certain kinds of work such as grinding the interior of ball-bearing rings, it has heretofore been the practice to sink a recess in the faces of the magnetic chuck to receive and center the ring and prevent lateral or radial motion while the magnetic flux holds the work or ring against the chuck face. Different sized pieces of work necessitate the use of different mag-,
netic chucks having faces to correspond with such work. This necessitates a varied and extensive stock of such chucks to be kept on hand to meet the demands of the trade while I locking up considerable idle capital. By aid of my improvement a single magnetic chuck may be used to machine pieces of work widely varying in size and form. To this end, I provide a plurality of plates which are'adapted to fit a standard size chuck and to be held on its face in any desired manner but preferably by one or more screws holding the plate to the surface of the chuck. Each of these plates comprises sections or areas of magnetic material separated magnetically by non-magnetic material such as by solder, brass, bronze or other non-magnetic material which also acts to hold the sections together. Each section of magnetic material in the plate in a general way corresponds to a positive or negative area of the face of the chuck and constitutes therefore an extension thereof when mounted in operative position on the chuck face which presents a plurality of pole areas of like polarity grouped about a central space. These areas are tapered or elongated or so shaped as to permit of their extension into this central space and are each surrounded by a pole area of opposite polarity. Different extension plates have different size recesses or openings which are adapted to receive the particular size ring or piece of work to be machined. For convenience, these extension plates are made with standard sizes of openings for receiving corresponding sizes of rings or pieces of work as determined by trade conditions. To facilitate the proper registry of the extension plate with the corresponding magnetic elements of the face of the chuck, registering means are provided, such as a pin and socket, arranged one on the plate and the other on the chuck face. It is apparent that these pole extension plates need not be circular but may be of any externaLcontoun and that the recess in the plate for holding the work may also be of any shape to correspond to the shape of the work to be machined.
Another feature of my invention resides in the shape and arrangement of the polar sections or areas of the pole plates whereby the magnetic flux is distributed over the surface of the chuck face to enable the face to be energized practically over all portions so that work of varying sizes and shapes may be readily held in working position.
A further feature resides in the form of seam for securing the magnetic sections together whereby the face of the holding late may be cut away without materially interfering with the efficiency of the scam in holding the parts together.
' The inventionmay assume a variety of mechanical expressions one of which is illustrated in the accompanying drawings which are designed merely for the purpose of illustration and not as limiting the invention,
reference being had to the claims for this purpose.
In the drawin Figure 1 is a view in longitudinal. section through a revoluble magnetic chuck, a pole extension plate sepa rated from the chuck and a piece of work to be. held thereby. Fig. 2 is a front face of insulating material secured in position by one or more screws 4 entering the base plate.
' Slip 5,5 ofcopper or other conductin m'ateriatare mounted on collar 3 and held out of contact from each other by a'raised portion 6 of the collar 'material. These rings receive the current from a suitable source and deliver the same by magnet coil leads-7, 7.] Base plate 1 is provided with cores 8, four in number as illustrated, which are shown as integral with the base but they may [be separate "therefrom and secured thereto in any suitable manner. Each core isprovided with an energizing coil 9 which is preferably constructed ina manner to enable" itsready removal and replacement by anew coilin case of injury. Themagnet coils are 'inclosed by a casin "10 one end of which is secured to the base p ate 1 by screws or bolts 11 which pass through countersunk openings "12 in the base"plate and engage housings 13' shown in'dotted outline, Fig. 2.
The face and wall 14 of the casing 10 is provided with'heart-shaped' openings 15 correspending-in number with the magnet cores and' positioned over them with the narrowed art 'ofl'the' opening extending inward. ach magnet core atits free-end is provided with smarthapes pole'piece'16 which corres'pond'sinb'utline with the openin 15 in the end wall- 14, but smallerfort e purposef'o'f having a "gap 17 around each pole "iece for rece ving'non-magnetic material. his material may be of "any non-magnetic alloy or non-f magnetic metal. Brass, bronze orfsolder may be used withgo'od results. It isto be noticedthat the riphery of each 'pole plate 16 and that o T the surrounding opening in wall '14 are provided with dibdral ed es 19. By reason of this'conformatioii' o the edges of the pole pieces and the openings in the wall 14 for receiving the ole pieces a ga is formed capable of reaining and hol ing the non-ma etic material which maybe poured into t e gaps in a molten state 'or it may be cast or punched separately and afterward expanded by pressure or hammeringso; as to completely fill the space between .the heart-shaped pole piece andthe casing 14 of the chuck or frame 23 of the extension plate 22. This non-magnetic material also acts to interrupt the magnetic circuit traced through the pole pieces "16,;magnet cores 8, base. 1, side walls of the casing and :face wall 14.. "The pole pieces 16 are preferably further secured .by screws '20 which engage the ends of the cores 8 thereby giving greater rigidity to the whole structure. The side wall of the casin 10 may, and referably does, extend slight y beyond the ace wall 14 into a rim 21 which aids in retaining the interchangeable pole extension plates 22 when in position for receiving work.
The description of one extension plate will answer for each of the series, as the several plates only difi'er in the size and form of the central openings into which the work ieces fit; The pole extension plate is a work olding plate and is built up of sections correspondin to the number of magnet poles of the chuc each section being separated by a gap from its neighbor b non-magnetic material such as solder w ich also serves to hold the sections together. In Fig. 1 is shown a transverse section of such a plate 22 in which 23 designates the body portion or frame of the plate adapted to fit within the rim or ledge 21 of the chuck and form a polar extension of the end wall 14. Plate 22 is provided with openings, in the present instance four in number, to correspond with the four pole pieces 16 each opening being heart or egg-shaped with its narrow end directed toward the center of the plate and into which openings are held by non-magnetic material or. metal in the manner above described, pole extension pieces 24 conforming in outline with pole pieces 16. The work-holding-plate as illustrated is designed for holding a ring such as ring 25' which is .to be interiorly ground. This plate, therefore, is machined out to have a recess conforming in contour to the periphery of the ring 25 or to such portion thereof as requisite to form a holding socket for the work piece 25. The central portion of the plate 22 is also bored out to form a clearance space 26 for the end of the grinding tool which is to be used on the work.
In order that the plate may properly register with the pole pieces 16, a pin 27'is provided on the face of wall 14 and a socket 28 issunk in the work holding plate 22. The
thickness of the latter plate may vary to suit the nature of the work and the central opening 26 may vary in size for the same reason or in certain instances may be dispensed with, dependin whether the grinding operation-is to ta e place entirely on the exterior of the work, but I prefer to provide this clearance space as it ermits of a wide range of usefulness of t e work holding plate. The plate is provided with means for securing it to the face wall 14 of the chuck such as by screws 29 passing through suitable openings in the plate and engaging screw threaded openings 30 and 31 in wall 14.
Assuming that the parts of the magnetic chuck are assembled as shown in the drawing with the energizing coils in series and the terminals of the windings connected to the slip rings 5, the work holding plate 22 is secured by the means described to the face of the chuck with its socket 28 engaging pin 27 in position to receive the work piece 25 and to close the magnetic circuit. The pole extension pieces 24 registering with pole pieces 16 constitute a plurality of magnet poles of like polarity and the frame 23 constitutes a single and opposite pole separated from its companion poles by the gaps filled with non-magnetic material 17. When the coils are energized the magnetic circuit includes pole pieces 16, pole extension pieces 24, work piece 25, frame 23 of Work holding plate 22, casing wall 10, cores 8 back to pieces 16. By reason of the eculiar arrangement and shape of the po e extension pieces 24 with their projecting portions directed inwardly, the magnetic field is centrally distorted toward the center of the ole extension plate 22. This construction permits small pieces of work to be held and reduces the dead space at the center of the chuck to a minimum.
It will thus be apparent that by my improvement, a single magnetic chuck is enabled by means of a plurality of pole extension pieces or work holding plates to hold pieces of different size and configuration without providing different magnetic chucks for difierent kinds of work as hitherto practised.
It will be further seen that another considerable advantage of this method of holding work is the elimination of all centering or clamping devices. Such centering and clamping devices where used in the ordinary form of chuck, not infrequently distort the shape of the piece to be ground so that on removal from the chuck after the grinding or machining operation, it will be found out of true. By the simple method of boring out the extension plate on the chuck itself to the proper size, the work is accurately centered, no clamping plate is necessary and distortion of the work cannot occur.
Instead of providing the chuck with a plurality of energizing coils, a single magnetizing coil may be used and certain advantages of my invention in that the same chuck is adapted to hold work of different kinds by use of different pole extension plates.
In Fig. 3, I have shown a slightly modified form of cementing joint prepared by beveling off the edges of the pole pieces to form truncated edges instead of dihedral edges as appear in the previously described joint 17. I prefer, however, to construct the joint with edges tapering from the center line of the plate for by this means the plate can be bored out to practically any depth up to the center without loosening the elements.
