Control device for industrial machine

Abstract

A control device for an industrial machine comprising a numerical control device and a programmable controller, the numerical control device comprising: a data processing section essentially comprising a memory and a central processing unit, for analyzing and operating input numerical data, outputs of the data processing section being used for performing numerical control of a machine to be controlled and of rotation of a spindle of the machine; a gear ratio data memory for storing gear ratio data of gears through which a spindle motor is coupled to a spindle head holding a tool, the gear ratio data being applied to the gear ratio data memory through a bus from the programmable controller adapted to perform sequence control of the machine; and synchronous operation controller for calculating actual speed of rotation of the tool through operation using the gear ratio data and a feedback signal of the spindle motor, and performing synchronous operation control of the tool and a feed shaft.
