摘要:
An abnormality detection apparatus for a tool (11) is described for judging abnormalities of a tool by a uniformly set threshold value in relation to a cutting load even in a machining process wherein a feed rate changes every moment. The abnormality detection apparatus for a tool (10 or 21) comprises cutting load detecting means (8) to detect a cutting load on the basis of an electric current for driving that is output to a feed drive system (14) and/or an electric current for driving that is output to a spindle drive system (15), feed load estimating means (12) to estimate a feed load according to the feed rate wherein the feed load depends on the feed rate, tool load detecting means (11) to pick out a load component depending on the tool by reducing the feed load data estimated by the feed load estimating means (12) from the cutting load data detected by the cutting load detecting means (8), and abnormality judging means (13) to judge whether the tool is in an abnormal condition or not on the basis of the load data picked out by the tool load detecting means (11). The abnormalities of the tool can be judged by the uniformly set threshold value on the basis of the tool load wherefrom the feed load that fluctuates upon the feed rate has been removed.
摘要:
A control method for an NC machine tool is provided which ensures a high precision of the contouring control, and allows for extension of the drill life, and reduction in machining time. The control method comprises: generating an operation command signal on the basis of the machining program and a time constant; generating a velocity command signal by multiplying a deviation of a present position signal fed back from the feed drive system (106) from the generated operation command signal by a position loop gain; generating an electric current command signal by multiplying a deviation of a present velocity signal fed back from the feed drive system (106) from the generated velocity command signal by a velocity loop gain; and controlling a drive motor of the feed drive system (106) on the basis of the generated electric current command signal for driving thereof, wherein a machining mode is determined from the machining program and, if the machining mode is a drilling mode, at least one of the operation command signal, the velocity command signal and the electric current command signal is modified when the feed drive system (106) is driven to be retracted opposite to a drilling feed direction.
