    Abstract: A numerical controller retrieves only a tool change command in an NC program and controls an automatic tool changer to execute tool change based on the retrieved tool change command. The numerical controller controls a camera to capture an image of a tool every time the tool change command is executed, and analyzes the image captured by the camera to calculate a shape and a size of the tool. The calculated tool shape and size are collated with a shape and a size in tool management data stored in the numerical controller, and the result of the collation is displayed on a screen of a display device so that an operator can be informed of it.

    Abstract: To determine whether a tool may be used successfully to fabricate a worksheet in a sheet fabrication machine, data relating to all tools that may be used for the machine as provided by the manufacturers of those tools are stored in a tool database. Dimensional data and characteristics of the worksheets that may be used by the machine are stored in a worksheet database. When a given worksheet is to be fabricated, a determination is made on whether a tool is usable for fabricating that worksheet without causing possible damage to the worksheet, the tool and its die, and/or the machine. The grind life remaining for the tool is used to determine whether the proper clearance between the tool and its die is obtainable by using the tool on the given worksheet. If it is determined that the tool is not useable for a given worksheet, the tool is flagged and reserved for use on worksheets that have a material thickness that is thinner than that of the given worksheet. An appropriate tool that does provide the proper clearance and has the appropriate grind life remaining is then selected for working on the given worksheet.

    Abstract: A completely automated apparatus for verifying the identity and geometry of drill bits, re-sharpening the cutting tip of a drill bit and re-positioning a locating ring upon the shank portion of the drill bit subsequent to the re-sharpening of the cutting tip thereof. The apparatus comprises a housing having a pair of cassette trays, a pair of grinding assemblies, a pair of optical assemblies, a pair of primary cleaning assemblies, a pair of secondary cleaning assemblies, a pair of inversion assemblies, a pair of workhead assemblies, a bumping assembly, and a loader assembly attached thereto. The workhead and loader assemblies are used to transport drill bits between the cassette trays and other assemblies in a selected sequence which is controlled and coordinated by a programmable control device. The control device is electrically interfaced to each of the assemblies and allows the cutting tip re-sharpening and locating ring re-positioning processes to be conducted simultaneously on at least two drill bits.

    Abstract: The invention relates to the positional adjustment of a cutting tool in a machine tool for the purpose of ensuring that the cutting tool is exactly in its correct position prior to starting machining operations. The machine tool is of the kind having a cutting tool support displaceable relative to the bed along two axes which are perpendicular to each other. The apparatus provided for the above purpose in accordance with the invention includes an optical projector producing in a stationary plane a picture of the tip of the cutting tool, including its cutting edge. When the tool support is displaced along either axis, the position of the picture on the plane changes accordingly. A stationary linear array of photosensitive diodes is arranged parallel to one of the axes of displacement of the tool support so that individual diodes will be covered or uncovered by the picture when it travels across the plane upon displacement of the tool support. The switching position of individual diodes is thereby altered which results in the emission of impulses whose number corresponds to that of diode covered or uncovered by the moving picture. The impulses are transmitted to an electronic processor whose output signals can be used for controlling the movements of the tool support in response to the arrival of the picture in or its departure from predetermined positions relative to the array of photosensitive diodes and in relation to a fixed reference point.
