A control device of a machine tool 100 has an input unit for inputting the processing profile data 1a and the workpiece data 1b of material and a profile of the workpiece to be processed; a data base 3 for storing at least one of the mechanical data of the machine tool to process the workpiece and the tool data of the tool mounted on the machine tool; an estimating calculation unit 7 for estimating at least a processing load or the occurrence of interference of the tool with the workpiece based on the data inputted by the input unit 1 and the data stored in the data base 3; and a tool path deciding unit 5 for creating a tool path to process the workpiece and deciding a processing condition for processing the workpiece such as a spindle rotating speed and a feed speed of the machine tool 11 based on the result of estimating calculation conducted by the estimating calculation unit 7.
摘要:
A method and device for controlling a machine tool numerically, in which a drive means generated heat calculating section (31) simulation-calculates the heat generated by drive means (3, 15b) and the temperature thereof, a by-feed-type generated heat calculating section (39) calculates the total amount of heat generated by the drive means (3, 15b), the amount of heat generated by the cutting feed, and the amount of heat generated by the cutting load, a cutting feed speed override calculating section (27) calculates a proper cutting speed, and a rapid-traverse/cutting-feed acceleration/deceleration time constant calculating section (21) calculates a proper rapid-traverse acceleration/deceleration time constant τr, and a proper cutting-feed acceleration/deceleration time constant (τc), and outputs the time constants to an NC, thereby improving the machining efficiency while preventing overheat of the drive means (3, 15b).
摘要:
A method and an apparatus for controlling a numerically controlled machine tool, wherein the heat generation amount and the temperature of a drive unit including a servo amplifier 15b and a feed shaft motor 3 are computed by a drive unit heat generation amount computing unit 31 by simulation, and from the computed heat generation amount and the computed temperature, the total heat generation amount of the drive unit, the cutting feed heat generation amount, the cutting load heat generation amount, etc. are computed by a feed heat generation amount computing unit 39, so that the cutting feed rate override value of the numerically controlled machine tool 1 is computed by a cutting feed rate override computing unit 27 and effectuated by being output to a NC unit. Further, based on the temperature of the drive unit computed by a computing unit 31 or the temperature computed by a temperature data computing unit 47 or the temperature detected by a temperature detection sensor 49, etc., the proper values of the feed acceleration/deceleration time constants τ r and τ C are computed and output as a ratio with respect to the set and stored initial values τ r0 and τ C0 thereby to control the NC commanded rate. The overheating of the feed axis drive unit is prevented while at the same time improving the machining efficiency.
