A data processing system supplies numerical control data to a controller for a machine tool connected in a system for adaptively controlling the machine tool feedrate in response to data measured by sensors connected to the machine tool. The deflection forces on a tool operating upon a workpiece are measured and the data processing system program determines the tool deflection force transverse to the path of the tool relative to the workpiece. The program computes the change in deflection required to meet a dimensional tolerance based upon data previously obtained relative to tool deflection characteristics of the tool. Then the program calculates a new control value to change the feed rate to a value intended to provide the desired degree of deflection. The data processing system then supplies the control value to apparatus to modify the feed rate and bite size, accordingly.

A numerical contouring controller employs ramped velocity commands for pre-corner slowdown and post-corner speedup in the relative movement between the controlled machine tool and a workpiece. The controller includes a digital computer which generates a command position trajectory. The computer operates in a closed position loop at a predetermined sampling frequency to compare accumulated position feedback data and the command position and thereby to generate command data to velocity loop controls which accurately position the machine tool slides. A program system operates the computer to make and implement the motion command determination including path speed change determinations and to make and implement nonmotion command determinations for machine tool, data input and machine operator interfacing.

The present invention relates to a client device and a system for data acquisition and pre-processing of process-related mass data from at least one CNC machine or an industrial robot and for transmitting said process-related data to at least one data recipient, e.g. a cloud-based server, the client device comprising at least one first data communication interface to at least one controller of the CNC machine or industrial robot, for continuously recording hard-realtime process-related data via at least one realtime data channel, and for recording non-realtime process-related data via at least one non-realtime data channel. The client device further comprises at least one data processing unit for data-mapping at least the recorded non-realtime data to the recorded hard-realtime data to aggregate a contextualized set of process-related data. Moreover, the client device comprises at least one second data interface for transmitting the contextualized set of process-related data to the data recipient and for further data communication with the data recipient.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for producing relative arcuate movement which may be greater than one quadrant for each input command by subdividing the movement into a plurality of sequential linear lengths of varying extent and proper direction. The extent of each length is defined by the number of steps of movement to be produced simultaneously over the same time interval on each of the pair of perpendicular axes. The extent of each length is determined to be that which both maintains the actual movement within a maximum deviation from the commanded path and is within the change of velocity limitation of the system thereby inherently providing acceleration and deceleration as well as not excessively exceeding any feed rate command.The method and system further selects the extent of the length from a group of possible extents by investigating which extent is most acceptable having regard to relative emphasis of path deviation and velocity error. The relative emphasis may be set by input commands.
摘要:
An interpolation technique in which numbers are calculated for each axis based on the velocity and distance to be moved and the numbers stored in output buffer tables in core storage for gating out by an oscillator external to the processing system. Each core storage output buffer table is initialized by a look-ahead technique in which the calculated numbers for each axis are examined and a determination made as to whether for a particular segment more ones than zeros are to be stored and the core storage portion for that segment initialized in accordance with this determination.

摘要:
A system in which a machine tool is controlled by a digital computer and an operator to perform a sequence of machining operations. In a programming mode, the machine tool cutting element is positioned by an operator relative to an object to be machined. The relative position of the cutting element is adjusted so that the cutting element passes through a sequence of spatial points at which a subsequent machining operation is desired. In association with each point, a sequence of digital signals is generated in a programming mode in response to an operator directive and that sequence is stored in a digital computer memory. Subsequently, in a machining mode, stored sequence is translated to a machine tool control signal which drives the machine tool. An operator may direct the digital computer in an editing mode to select ones or groups of the stored sequences and to modify those selected sequences. The operator may also direct the computer in the machining mode to generate the corresponding control signals for selected ones or groups of the stored sequences so that the corresponding machining operations are performed.
