Abstract
A machine tool includes a magazine capable of holding a plurality of tools, a machining body for machining a workpiece using at least one of the tools, and a control unit for controlling the machine tool. The control unit executes processing for acquiring tool information regarding the tools. The tool information defines a type and a state for each of the tools. The state includes an abnormal state and a normal state. The control unit furthermore executes processing for determining, as a collection candidate tool, a tool in the abnormal state for which a tool of the same type in the normal state is not present in the magazine, based on the tool information, and predetermined processing regarding the collection candidate tool.
Claims8
A machine tool comprising:
- a magazine configured to hold a plurality of tools;
- a machining body configured to machine a workpiece using at least one tool among the plurality of tools;
- and
- a control unit configured to control the machine tool,
- wherein the control unit executes processing of acquiring tool information regarding the plurality of tools, the tool information defining a type and a state for each tool among the plurality of tools, and the state including an abnormal state and a normal state, and
- the control unit is further configured to execute
- processing of determining, as a collection candidate tool, a tool in the abnormal state for which a tool of the same type in the normal state is not present in the magazine, based on the tool information, and
- predetermined processing regarding the collection candidate tool.
A control method for controlling a machine tool,
- the machine tool including:
- a magazine configured to hold a plurality of tools;
- and
- a machining body configured to machine a workpiece using at least one tool among the plurality of tools,
- the control method comprising:
- a step of acquiring tool information regarding the plurality of tools, the tool information defining a type and a state of each tool among the plurality of tools, and the state including an abnormal state and a normal state, and
- the control method further comprising:
- a step of determining, as a collection candidate tool, a tool in the abnormal state for which a tool of the same type in the normal state is not present in the magazine, based on the tool information;
- and
- and a step of executing predetermined processing regarding the collection candidate tool.
A non-transitory recording medium storing a control program for controlling a machine tool,
- the machine tool including:
- a magazine configured to hold a plurality of tools;
- and
- a machining body configured to machine a workpiece using at least one tool among the plurality of tools,
- the control program causing the machine tool to execute
- a step of acquiring tool information regarding the plurality of tools, the tool information defining a type and a state of each tool among the plurality of tools, and the state including an abnormal state and a normal state, and
- the control program further causing the machine tool to execute:
- a step of determining, as a collection candidate tool, a tool in the abnormal state for which a tool of the same type in the normal state is not present in the magazine, based on the tool information;
- and
- predetermined processing regarding the collection candidate tool.
