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 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.
