摘要:
The present invention provides a machine tool which is adapted to detect the end of the service life of a spring of a clamp unit for fixing a tool to a spindle for systematic replacement of the spring. The machine tool comprises a clamp unit (47) for fixing a tool in a taper hole provided in a spindle, and a controlling section (63) for controlling the operation of the clamp unit. The clamp unit (47) includes a holder for holding a holder portion of the tool, a driving rod coupled to the holder, a driver for moving the driving rod along an axis thereof, and a spring for biasing the driving rod in one direction along the axis thereof. The machine tool further comprises a service life end detecting section (11) for counting the number of times of actuation of the clamp unit (47) and, when the count of the number reaches a predetermined reference actuation number, judging that the service life of the spring ends. With this arrangement, maintenance can systematically be carried out by detecting the end of the service life of the spring.

The present invention provides an automatic tool changer which is adapted to detect the end of the service life of a bearing of a cam follower for systematic replacement of the bearing. The automatic tool changer comprises: a tool changer mechanism (26) including a rotation shaft, a changer arm fixed to the rotation shaft, a cam follower attached to the rotation shaft and having an engagement roller rotatably supported by a bearing, a cam engaged with the engagement roller of the cam follower, and driving means for driving the cam; and a controlling section (57) for controlling an operation of the tool changer mechanism (26). The tool changer further comprises a service life end detecting section (9) for counting the number of times of the operation performed by the tool changer mechanism (26) and judging whether or not the count of the number reaches a reference operation number serving as a basis for the detection of the end of the service life of the bearing. With this arrangement, maintenance can systematically be carried out by detecting the end of the service life of the bearing of the cam follower.

There is provided a machining control system which is capable of keeping the optimum machining states and enhancing the efficiency and the reliability even in the case where an actual machining environment fluctuates. A machining control system includes a machining information determination portion (102) for determining initial machining conditions (107) on the basis of information (105) stored in a machining data base (101) and in accordance with adaptive control characteristics (106) defined by adaptive control modes and adaptive control parameters, and an adaptive control portion (103) for controlling the machining in appropriate states by changing the machining conditions in accordance with the machining states observed during the machining with the initial machining conditions (107) as an initial value of the machining conditions.

The present invention relates to a more convenient machining simulation apparatus for simulating a machining operation in accordance with an NC program. The machining simulation apparatus is adapted to display the configuration of a tool and the configuration of a workpiece on a display device (31) and change the tool configuration and the workpiece configuration on the display device (31) in accordance with the NC program so as to check the movement and machining state of the tool on the display device (31). The apparatus includes a process image data storage section (27) for storing therein pixel data generated at the end of each machining process by an image data generating section (21). The image data generating section (21), in response to designation of a machining process externally inputted thereto, reads pixel data generated at the end of a machining process precedent to the designated machining process from the process image data storage section (27) to display the tool configuration and the workpiece configuration on the display device (31) on the basis of the read pixel data, and successively re-generates pixel data for the designated machining process and machining processes subsequent thereto to display the tool configuration and the workpiece configuration on the display device (31) on the basis of the re-generated pixel data.
