Abstract
A control device for a machine tool comprises: an acquisition unit that acquires the type of a tool used for machining a machining object; a determination unit that determines, on the basis of the type of the tool, whether the operation of a mist collector is permitted or prohibited; and a collector control unit that turns ON the mist collector if it is determined that the operation of the mist collector is permitted, and turns OFF the mist collector if it is determined that the operation of the mist collector is prohibited.
Claims10
A control device for a machine tool comprising a mist collector configured to collect mist in a machining area, the machine tool being configured to machine a workpiece within the machining area, the control device comprising:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire a type of a tool used for performing machining on the workpiece;
- a determination unit configured to determine whether to permit or prohibit an operation of the mist collector based on the type of the tool;
- and
- a collector control unit configured to turn ON the operation of the mist collector in a case that a determination has been made to permit the operation of the mist collector, and turn OFF the operation of the mist collector in a case that a determination has been made to prohibit the operation of the mist collector.
A control method for controlling by a computer a machine tool comprising a mist collector configured to collect mist in a machining area, the machine tool being configured to machine a workpiece within the machining area, the control method comprising:
- an acquisition step of acquiring a type of a tool used for performing machining on the workpiece;
- a determination step of determining whether to permit or prohibit an operation of the mist collector based on the type of the tool;
- and
- a collector control step of turning ON the operation of the mist collector in a case that a determination has been made to permit the operation of the mist collector, and turning OFF the operation of the mist collector in a case that a determination has been made to prohibit the operation of the mist collector.
