Abstract: A machine tool collision avoidance method includes: loading multiple processing codes; simulating multiple path traces corresponding to the processing codes; estimating multiple execution periods for running the path traces; selecting the shortest execution period from the execution periods; determines whether the distance between the trace point points on any two of the path traces is less than a safety distance within the shortest execution period; if the distance between a first trace point on a first path trace and a second trace point on a second path trace is less than the safety distance, estimating a first time point at which a first turret runs to the first trace point and a second time point at which the second turret runs to the second trace point; generating a collision warning if the difference between the first time point and the second time point is lower than a tolerance value.

Abstract: A method and a system, for offsetting measurement of machine tool, includes following steps. A tool seat is chosen, a first coordinate is set based on a first datum mark of the tool seat. There is a total tool seat assembling length in between the first datum mark and the tool seat. A tool is chosen, assembled in the tool seat, and includes a total tool length. A second coordinate is set based on a second datum mark of a measuring unit. The tool seat is moved to make a machining end of the tool contact with the second coordinate to obtain a relative total length in between the first and the second coordinate. The total tool length subtracts from the relative total length equals an assembled offset length. The total tool seat assembling length subtracts from the relative total length equals and obtains a tool assembling length.

Abstract: A management method for a cutting tool of a machine tool is provided. A user host imports a graphical data of a workpiece and a cutting tool database into CAM, and a user may select cutting tools to establish a complete machining process. T codes are replaced with electronic tags. Before executing a machine code comprising the electronic tags, the machine tool re-scans the cutting tools assembled at a tool turret and updates cutting tool arrangement information to ensure that the tool turret is equipped with the cutting tools used in the machining process. When the machine tool stores the electronic tags, a ready message is displayed for reminding an operator. When the electronic tags are not stored, the current storage location of a cutting tool lacked in the machining process or a warning message is displayed at the operation interface for reminding the operator.

Abstract: A tool management system of machine tools includes a reader, a receiver, a storage unit, a processor and a control unit. The reader is configured for reading at least one category parameter of the tool according to a tool index code of the tool. The receiver is configured for receiving real-time process information of the tool with a preset periodicity. The storage unit is configured for storing the tool index code, the category parameter, and the real-time process information. The processor is configured for processing a weighting algorithm to obtain a result according to the category parameter and the real-time process information. The control unit is configured for sending a control instruction according to the result.
