Abstract
A tool cleaning device for a machine tool has a chip removing device which removes the chip, a moving device to which the chip removing device is attachable, a detecting device which detects a storing state of the chip to the tool of the machine tool, an information processing device which processes information according to the storing state of the chip acquired by the detecting device and judges a region where a chip removing is necessary, and a controller of the moving device which moves the chip removing device to the region where the chip removing is necessary judged by the information processing device. The chip stored on the tool is cleaned by the chip removing device.
Claims19
A tool cleaning device for removing chips adhered to a tool of a machine tool, the tool cleaning device comprising:
- a chip removing device configured to remove the chips by injecting liquid at the chips;
- a moving device to which the chip removing device is attachable;
- a detecting device configured to detect an accumulation status of the chips adhered to the tool of the machine tool;
- and
- a controller configured to
- process information according to the accumulation status of the chips acquired by the detecting device to judge a region where a chip removing operation is necessary,
- control the moving device to move the chip removing device to the region where the chip removing operation is necessary, and
- based on the accumulation status of the chips, control a pressure of the liquid injected at the chips.
