The drives for linear and rotary axes for titanium cutting must comply with the following<br />

requirements:<br />

High stiffnesses and high thrust forces<br />

Smooth run and close following of control setpoints<br />

Acceleration and velocity levels to comply with lasted tool technology<br />

All of this is accomplished for the Starrag drive concept the following way:<br />

Linear axes<br />

– Ball screws are used (no excitation of the drive due to the use of gear wheels)<br />

– Due to hydraulically releasable thrust bearing the stiffness of the drive chain is doubled<br />

(in comparison to conventional bearings)<br />

Rotary axes<br />

– Worm wheels are used (no excitation of the drive due to the use of gear wheels)<br />

– Contact zone provides extraordinary damping<br />

Belt transmissions<br />

– Between drive motors and ball screws/ worm wheels a belt transmission is used<br />

– Belt transmissions provide extra damping<br />

– Transmission ration allows for layout simultaneous for good control behavior,<br />

high thrust forces and high acceleration levels<br />
