  • Publication number: 20220179391
    Abstract: A controller includes data collect circuitry configured to collect machining data including a date and a time when at least one machined portion of a workpiece has been machined by a machine tool, temperature circuitry configured to obtain, at predetermined time intervals, temperature data at positions on the machine tool, dimension data input circuitry configured to receive dimension measurement data which includes a dimension of the machined portion after the machined portion has been machined, learning data generate circuitry configured to generate learning data based on the machining data and the dimension measurement data, and machine learning circuitry configured to execute a machine learning based on the temperature data and the learning data to obtain a correction coefficient based on which a displacement caused by a change in a temperature of the machine tool is corrected according to a thermal displacement correction equation.

  • Patent number: 10353373
    Abstract: A machine tool includes a workpiece holding unit to hold a workpiece. A tool holding unit holds a tool. At least one of the workpiece holding unit and the tool holding unit is drivingly rotatable or drivingly movable in a predetermined direction to machine the workpiece with the tool. Temperature sensors are attached to members constituting the machine tool. An estimator calculates an environmental temperature system thermal displacement amount due to a heat source outside the machine tool. A correction magnification processor calculates an environmental temperature system thermal displacement correction amount. Another estimator calculates a driving system thermal displacement amount due to a heat source in the machine tool. A thermal displacement correction amount adder obtains and outputs a total thermal displacement correction amount based on which the machine tool performs thermal displacement correction control.
