摘要:
A thermal displacement compensating device calculates a thermal displacement amount which is produced by heat generation or dissipation as a machine tool is actuated or stopped and changes with time. A thermal displacement compensation amount is calculated by multiplying the calculated thermal displacement amount by a coefficient. A position command is compensated by adding the thermal displacement compensation amount to the position command. On the other hand, a variation between a thermal displacement amount calculated last time and a current thermal displacement amount is determined for each predetermined time. A plurality of thermal displacement amount change states are identified based on comparison between the determined variation and a predetermined threshold. The coefficient is calculated based on the identified thermal displacement amount change state.

A spindle control system for a milling machine is provided. The milling machine includes a column, an overarm, a spindle for mounting a cutter, a first motor mounted on the column for driving movement of the overarm, and a second motor mounted on the overarm for driving rotation of the spindle. The spindle control system includes a distance sensor and a temperature sensor, each to be mounted on the overarm and to be disposed proximate to the end portion of the spindle. The spindle control system further includes a central control unit for determining a compensation parameter based on the displacement sensed by the distance sensor and the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor, and for controlling movement of the overarm by the first motor through a compensation distance based on the compensation parameter to compensate for at least one of the cutter deformation and the spindle deformation.

A thermal displacement correcting apparatus includes a correction amount estimating device and a parameter automatic selecting device that, in a machine tool having two different sets of specifications that differ due to the presence/absence of a scale and different methods of measuring the lengths of a bed and a table, estimate a thermal displacement correction amount of the machine tool of each set of specifications. The two devices store a collection of parameters for an estimated thermal displacement calculation corresponding to each of the bed, the scale, the table, and a workpiece, as a database, and select the parameters belonging to the set of specifications from the database based on machine information according to each set of specifications, calculate estimated thermal displacements of the bed, the table, and the workpiece, or also the scale, according to the selected parameters, and combine the estimated thermal displacements.
摘要:
A machine tool capable of detecting an ambient temperature change without a detector for detecting the ambient temperature and capable of detecting an abnormality of a temperature detector for detecting the motor temperature. Motor temperature Ti (i=1, 2 . . . n) and the current feedback Ifi of each motor are read out from the temperature detector for detecting the temperature of each motor of the machine tool. The heating value Qi of each motor is obtained from current feedback Ifi. Motor temperature Ti is calculated and estimated from the heating value Q. Difference ΔTi between the estimated motor temperature Tmi and the detected temperature Tsi is obtained. When difference between maximum and minimum values of difference ΔTi exceeds the first threshold value β, a temperature detector abnormality is outputted. When it is equal to or less than the first threshold value β, the mean value ΔT′ of differences is obtained. If the mean value ΔT′ is equal to or less than the second threshold value γ, it is determined that there is no abnormality. If it is equal to or more than the second threshold value γ, the indication that the ambient temperature has been changed is outputted.

A thermal displacement state (target thermal displacement state) in which thermal displacement of a machine tool is saturated when the machine tool is operated based on a machining program is previously stored, and a warm-up operation pattern of a motor is determined so as to approach the target thermal displacement state. The motor is driven based on the warm-up operation pattern and the warm-up operation of the motor is stopped if the thermal displacement state of the machine tool is within a predetermined range.

A device is provided for correcting the position of at least one element of a machine tool, in particular a milling machine, in which at least one compensating element is disposed between a machine element and an element whose position is to be corrected. The compensating element is adjustable by an actuating distance such that, as a result of the actuation of the compensating element, the element is pivotable about a pivot axis at a joint between the machine element and the element of which the position is to be corrected which ensures the pivoting movement about the pivot axis.
