Rotating tool, module, cutting system, processing method, and processing program

A module attachable to a shaft portion of a rotating tool including the shaft portion and a blade attaching portion or a blade portion provided at an end of the shaft portion, the module comprising:

• a body that is columnar and attachable to the shaft portion along an axial direction of the shaft portion;
• and
• a plurality of sensors attached to the body,
• wherein the plurality of sensors include an acceleration sensor and a strain sensor.

A cutting system comprising:

• one or a plurality of cutting tools;
• and
• a management apparatus,
• wherein the cutting tool includes:
• a shaft portion having an end attached to a machine tool;
• a blade attaching portion or a blade portion provided at an end of the shaft portion opposite to the end;
• and
• a sensor attached to the shaft portion, and
• the management apparatus includes:
• a processor configured to;
• accumutate, in a memory, measurement results of the sensor when cutting of a cutting object is performed by the cutting tool attached to a first machine tool, and accumulates, in the storage unit, measurement results of the sensor when cutting of a cutting object is performed by the cutting tool that had been attached to the first machine tool and is attached to a second machine tool, or another cutting tool that is attached to the second machine tool;
• and
• process each of the measurement results accumulated in the memory.

A processing method using one or a plurality of cutting tools,

• the cutting tool including:
• a shaft portion having an end attached to a machine tool;
• a blade attaching portion or a blade portion provided at an end of the shaft portion opposite to the end;
• and
• a sensor attached to the shaft portion,
• the processing method comprising the steps of:
• attaching the cutting tool to a first machine tool;
• performing cutting of a cutting object by the cutting tool attached to the first machine tool, and accumulating measurement results of the sensor;
• attaching, to a second machine tool, the cutting tool that had been attached to the first machine tool or another cutting tool;
• performing cutting of a cutting object by the cutting tool attached to the second machine tool, and accumulating measurement results of the sensor;
• and
• processing each of the accumulated measurement results.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a processing program used in a management apparatus that manages a cutting tool,

• the cutting tool including:
• a shaft portion having an end attached to a machine tool;
• a blade attaching portion or a blade portion provided at an end of the shaft portion opposite to the end;
• and
• a sensor attached to the shaft portion,
• the processing program for causing a computer to function as:
• a storage processing unit that accumulates, in a storage unit, measurement results of the sensor when cutting of a cutting object is performed by the cutting tool attached to a first machine tool, and accumulates, in the storage unit, measurement results of the sensor when cutting of a cutting object is performed by the cutting tool that had been attached to the first machine tool and is attached to a second machine tool, or another cutting tool that is attached to the second machine tool;
• and
• a control unit that processes each of the measurement results accumulated by the storage processing unit.

A cutting system comprising:

• a rotating tool used in a state held by a tool holder;
• and
• a management apparatus,
• wherein the rotating tool includes:
• a shaft portion having an end attached to a tool holder;
• a blade attaching portion or a blade portion provided at an end of the shaft portion opposite to the end;
• and
• a plurality of sensors attached to the shaft portion,
• the plurality of sensors have an acceleration sensor and a strain sensor, and
• the management apparatus receives sensor information indicating a measurement result of each of the sensors from the rotating tool.
