Abstract
A machine tool includes a first motor that receives load fluctuation when the workpiece is processed and a second motor that operates to change the plural kinds of tools. An information processing device takes out the current of the first motor measured by the first current sensor for each signal that occurs at the changing operation of the plural kinds of tools and is measured by the second current sensor, and relatively compares a non-negative function value that has a current value at each taken-out segment as a parameter for each number of times of processing on the workpiece, thereby detecting a tool abnormality for each kind of the tool.
Claims6
A current measuring system for a machine tool, the current measuring system comprising a first current sensor and a second current sensor each connected to an information processing device,
- wherein the machine tool that processes a workpiece while changing plural kinds of tools comprises:
- a first motor that receives load fluctuation when the workpiece is processed;
- and
- a second motor that operates to change the plural kinds of tools, and
- wherein the information processing device performs a process of overlapping a time-history waveform of a current which flows through the first motor and which is measured by the first current sensor with a time-history waveform of a current which flows through the second motor and which is measured by the second current sensor in such a way that respective elapsed times match with each other, takes out the current of the first motor measured by the first current sensor for each signal that occurs at the changing operation of the plural kinds of tools in an analysis process, and relatively compares a non-negative function value that has a current value at each taken-out segment as a parameter for each number of times of processing on the workpiece, thereby detecting a tool abnormality for each kind of the tool.
A current measuring method for a machine tool which comprises a first motor that receives load fluctuation when a workpiece is processed, and a second motor that operates to change plural kinds of tools and which processes the workpiece while changing the plural kinds of tools, the current measuring method comprising:
- causing an information processing device to which a first current sensor and a second current sensor are connected to perform a process of overlapping a time-history waveform of a current which flows through the first motor and which is measured by the first current sensor with a time-history waveform of a current which flows through the second motor and which is measured by the second current sensor in such a way that respective elapsed times match with each other;
- and
- causing the information processing device to perform a process of taking out the current of the first motor measured by the first current sensor for each signal that occurs at the changing operation of the plural kinds of tools in an analysis process, and relatively comparing a non-negative function value that has a current value at each taken-out segment as a parameter for each number of times of processing on the workpiece, thereby detecting a tool abnormality for each kind of the tool.
