Abstract

The durability of protective covers in high dynamic machine tools is no longer acceptable. Due to high velocities and acceleration, the structural components of the bellow, the crossbar mechanism for example, do not withstand the occurring forces. The following article analyses the forces which affect a protective cover occurring due to feed motion of the axis. The requirements of protective covers are defined in order to derive the cycles for the dynamic tests. The measured variables recorded during the trials are analyzed and associated to the structural components of the bellow.
