Abstract
A machine tool, in particular a sawing machine, with a tool for metal cutting, in particular a saw band or saw blade, a drive device for driving and/or moving the tool, a controller for the drive device in order to control and/or regulate the drive device with a process dataset, as well as a communication device for data exchange between the controller and an external data memory and/or an external computer. The controller includes a detector for identifying the tool. A system for optimized operation of such a machine tool which additionally includes an external data memory and/or external computer is also provided.
Claims6
A system for an optimized operation of a machine tool, comprising:
- a machine tool with a tool for metal cutting, the machine tool comprising
- a drive device for at least one of driving or moving the tool,
- a controller for the drive device that is adapted to at least one of control or regulate the drive device with a process dataset, and
- a communication device for data exchange;
- at least one of an external computer or at least one external data memory;
- the communication device is configured for data exchange between the controller of the machine tool and the at least one of the external data memory or the external computer;
- the controller contains an adjustment unit configured to download tool-specific process dataset specifications for the tool from at least one of the external data memory or the external computer and is configured to adjust a current process dataset in at least one of the data memory or computer with tool-specific process dataset specifications for the tool;
- a sensor in communication with the controller, the sensor is configured to identify the tool;
- at least one of the controller, the external data memory, or the external computer contains machine-specific correction values for at least individual ones of the tool-specific process dataset specifications in order to adapt the tool-specific process dataset specifications to the machine tool;
- and
- the controller of the machine tool includes an algorithm which determines at least one of machine-specific or material-specific correction values for the tool-specific process dataset specifications from process parameters which are determined by at least one of sensors or feedback of the drive device during operation of the machine tool or from operator inputs, and outputs said values by the adjustment unit to at least one of the external data memory or the external computer in order to modify the tool-specific process dataset specifications in a machine-specific manner.
