    摘要: A system and method for monitoring vibrations of a machine tool metal-cutting tool insert and interpreting them to promptly detect the initial touch to the workpiece and signal the tool to stop advancing before marring the surface. The signal generated by a sensor such as an accelerometer is preprocessed to eliminate lower frequency machine noise and detect the energy in a higher frequency band, then sampled and analyzed by digital circuitry. In order to avoid false alarms on high amplitude spiky noise pulses generated by traverse operation of the machine tool, the tool touch alarm is delayed longer than the maximum duration of the noise pulses. Two techniques are given to ignore the noise spikes while still detecting the tool touch signal.

    摘要: A Machine Tool Monitor detects significant cutting tool breakage and the first contact of an advancing tool to a workpiece, and does this by monitoring vibration signals produced by the machining of parts and interpreting patterns in these signals. Information from the part program improves the performance of the detector and optimizes it for the cutting conditions called for by the machine tool control. The analog channel gain of the monitor is adjusted and parameters controlling the digital pattern recognition logic are selected using part program information on machining parameters. The tool touch or tool break detection mode is selected by the part program.

    摘要: Substantial cutting condition changes that occur gradually, as opposed to the more usual sudden large change, are detected by setting upper and lower cutting noise mean level thresholds. When the mean cutting noise exceeds the upper threshold or stays below the lower threshold for a preset number of signal samples, a tool break alarm is generated. Techniques are given to reduce false alarms at the start and end of the cut and on runout on initial rough surface cuts. The system comprises an accelerometer or other sensor whose signal is preprocessed to attenuate lower frequency machinery noise and detect the signal energy in a band below 100 KHz, then sampled, and the digitized signal samples analyzed by pattern recognition logic.

    摘要: This tool break detection system relies on monitoring changes in the cutting noise itself, rather than detecting the tool fracture acoustic signal. A broken tool capable of damaging the workpiece is detected, and tool break events that do not affect cutting conditions are ignored. The signal from a sensor such as an accelerometer is preprocessed to attenuate low frequency machinery noise and detect the signal energy in a band below 100 KHz, then sampled, and the digitized signal samples analyzed by pattern recognition logic. Runout false alarms during rough surface cutting are prevented; after detection of an abrupt increase or decrease in signal level, the confirmation period to test for a persistent shift in mean level is set longer than the workpiece revolution period.

    摘要: A tool break detection system has an automatic gain control to adjust the analog signal channel gain and hold the cutting vibration signal at a desired average level. The AGC time constant is long enough that the detection of abrupt tool breaks and sudden large signal level transistions by the digital signature recognition logic is unaffected. However, the gradual decrease in signal level produced by a crumbly-type break would be removed by AGC action. In a system with a hardware AGC, crossing a high gain threshold resets gain to a low value and the resulting abrupt and persisting change in signal level is detected by the abrupt tool break logic. Another embodiment uses the gain command output by a software AGC and generates a break detected signal directly, without resetting the gain command, as gain rises above a high gain alarm level which is recalculated at the start of each cut.

The passive control network includes an isolation transformer for coupling a periodic waveform at the load input terminals to the variable impedance component, the magnitude of which impedance is reflected through the transformer to provide the load level-setting impedance.

    摘要: A circuit, for controlling the output level of a load circuit connected thereto, has a single input for receiving a control signal to provide both a selectable level on/off output signal at a first output connected to an on/off terminal of the load circuit, and a pair of essentially equal control currents drawn in shunt from a pair of output terminals connected to load output-level-setting input terminals. The shunt control currents are provided by a current-mirror circuit having a pair of substantially identical current sinks, each responsive to an input signal applied thereto in parallel from the single control circuit input.

    摘要: A system for programmable controlling the output level of at least one load, utilizes an isolated receiver-controller located adjacent to the load and receiving control data from at least one transmitter, which may be at a location remote from the load location. The transmitted data includes an address portion, identifying that particular one of a plurality of loads having the corresponding local address, and a command data portion, establishing both the on/off condition and the output level of the addressed load. Local control may be temporarily substituted for remote control. The output level is controlled by programmably varying the magnitude of an impedance coupled to a pair of load input terminals.

    摘要: A circuit, for providing a periodic signal of programmably controllable amplitude, includes an oscillator having a substantially constant amplitude signal of desired frequency and waveform at an output thereof connected to the input of a first programmable voltage divider having its output connected to one input of an operational amplifier. The remaining operational amplifier input is connected to the output thereof via a second programmable voltage divider used as a programmably controllable feedback network. The operational amplifier output signal amplitude may be controlled by external data signals to values less than, equal to, and greater than, the substantially constant oscillator waveform amplitude. Both computer and hard-wired circuitry for controlling the output signal are disclosed. An isolation-and-rectification network may be used to recover a D.C. voltage of programmably controlled amplitude.
