Adaptive lubrication control device and method for axial system of machining center

An adaptive lubrication control system for a machining center having an axial system for feeding a workpiece to a tool of said machining center for processing, said adaptive lubricating control system comprising a controller and a lubricating system mounted in said machining center, wherein:

• said controller has built therein a programmable logic unit and a macro program unit, said programmable logic unit being adapted to detect the feed rate and load of said axial system and to provide the detected feed rate and load data to said macro program unit and capable of instructing said lubricating system to perform lubrication, said macro program unit being adapted for acquiring from said programmable logic unit the said feed rate and load data of said axial system, computing the said feed rate and load data to obtain a shift parameter of said axial system, determining lubrication timing and lubrication time length of lubrication performance of said lubricating system according to the said shift parameter thus obtained and then providing the determined lubrication timing and lubrication time length to said programmable logic unit for enabling said programmable logic unit to give a command to said lubricating system;
• and
• said lubricating system is controllable by said controller to lubricate said axial system.
