Abstract
A method for ascertaining and correcting the defective machine state and/or at least one defective component state of a machine tool includes ascertaining the state using imaging and analysis of a cut edge produced and comparing with selected machine parameters and making the correction by way of a maintenance instruction based on the machine state for maintaining the machine tool.
Claims14
A method for determining and correcting a machine state of a machine tool, comprising the steps of:
- A) providing a surface image of a cut edge surface produced by the machine tool;
- B) analyzing the surface image using a data aggregation routine and so as to ascertain actual machine parameters determinable from the surface image;
- C) selecting selected machine parameters on the machine tool;
- D) comparing the actual machine parameters with the selected machine parameters so as to ascertain a difference between the actual machine parameters and the selected machine parameters ;
- E) determining the machine state, based on the difference;
- F) outputting a maintenance instruction for correcting the machine state.
3 more elements
A diagnostic system comprising:
- an imager module configured to provide an image of a surface machined by the machine tool;
- a data utilization module having a data aggregation routine configured to evaluate the image of the machined surface with regard to the surface quality and to ascertain actual machine parameters;
- a reference module, configured to provide selected machine parameters;
- an evaluation module to take the actual machine parameters and the selected machine parameters as a basis for ascertaining a machine state of the machine tool;
- and
- an output module configured to provide a maintenance instruction based on the machine state.
