Abstract
A machine tool includes a nozzle, an actuator that operates the nozzle, and an actuator control unit that controls the actuator such that a discharge area to which a coolant is discharged from the nozzle moves along a cleaning path including a starting point and an end point and extending between the starting point and the end point. When discharging of the coolant from the nozzle is paused at a first position on the cleaning path the actuator control unit controls the actuator such that discharging of the coolant from the nozzle is resumed from a second position on the cleaning path which is (i) the starting point or (ii) a point located between the starting point and the first position.
Claims9
A machine tool comprising:
- a nozzle that discharges a coolant to a machining area;
- an actuator that operates the nozzle;
- and
- an actuator control unit that controls the actuator such that a discharge area to which the coolant is discharged from the nozzle moves along a predetermined path including a starting point and an end point and extending between the starting point and the end point,
- wherein when discharging of the coolant from the nozzle is paused at a first position on the predetermined path, the actuator control unit controls the actuator such that discharging of the coolant from the nozzle is resumed from a second position on the predetermined path, the second position being (i) the starting point or (ii) a point located between the starting point and the first position.
An information processor for controlling a machine tool including a nozzle that discharges a coolant to a machining area and an actuator that operates the nozzle,
- the information processor comprising an actuator control unit that controls the actuator such that a discharge area to which the coolant is discharged from the nozzle moves along a predetermined path including a starting point and an end point and extending between the starting point and the end point,
- wherein when discharging of the coolant from the nozzle is paused at a first position on the predetermined path, the actuator control unit controls the actuator such that discharging of the coolant from the nozzle is resumed from a second position on the predetermined path, the second position being (i) the starting point or (ii) a point located between the starting point and the first position.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store a control program for a machine tool including a nozzle that discharges a coolant to a machining area and an actuator that operates the nozzle,
- the control program causes the machine tool to perform the step of controlling the actuator such that a discharge area to which the coolant is discharged from the nozzle moves along a predetermined path including a starting point and an end point and extending between the starting point and the end point, the step of controlling the actuator including the step of controlling the actuator such that when discharging of the coolant from the nozzle is paused at a first position on the predetermined path, discharging of the coolant from the nozzle is resumed from a second position on the predetermined path, the second position being (i) the starting point or (ii) a point located between the starting point and the first position.
