Method of control of rotation of spindle and control system of machine tool

A method of control of rotation of a spindle device of a machine tool, comprising the steps of:

• storing spindle rotational speed change data, which determines how to change a rotational speed of a spindle in accordance with an instructed speed, linked with a number of cutting edges of a tool and a pitch angle,
• selecting, from a number of cutting edges of a tool attached to said spindle and a desired pitch angle, spindle rotational speed change data which changes said spindle rotational speed so that timings at which cutting edges of the tool which is attached to said spindle strike a workpiece are timings by which the workpiece is struck when using a tool of variable pitch cutting edges of said desired pitch angle, and
• using the selected spindle rotational speed change data as the basis to change the rotational speed of the spindle.

A control system of a machine tool which makes a tool and workpiece move relative to each other and machines a workpiece,

• said control system of a machine tool comprising:
• a storage unit which stores a plurality of spindle rotational speed change data linked with a number of cutting edges of a tool and a pitch angle and
• a rotation instruction unit which selects, from a number of cutting edges of a tool attached to said spindle and a desired pitch angle, spindle rotational speed change data which changes said spindle rotational speed so that timings by which cutting edges of the tool which is attached to said spindle strike a workpiece are timings by which the workpiece is struck when using a tool of variable pitch cutting edges of said desired pitch angle, and uses the selected spindle rotational speed change data as the basis to change the rotational speed of the spindle.
