  • Patent number: 12469115
    Abstract: An information processing device according to an aspect processes an image P0 to be used for a machine tool that takes the image of an imaging area with a camera and discharges fluid toward a target on the basis of the image P0. The information processing device includes: a reference information storage unit that stores, in advance, a line BL that is to correspond to an outline of a specific area SA of the machine tool on the image P0 when the image P0 is displayed; a correction unit that turns the image P0 in a rotating direction of an optical axis of the camera so that the outline of the specific area SA displayed on the image PO matches the line BL; and a display control unit that causes a corrected image, resulting from correction by the correction unit, to be displayed on a display unit.

  • Publication number: 20250285257
    Abstract: To easily and accurately detect chips produced when processing a work by a machine tool, there is provided a chip detection apparatus for detecting chips produced when processing a work by a machine tool. The chip detection apparatus includes a mesh divider that performs processing of dividing, into a plurality of mesh images in a predetermined mesh size, at least part of an area image obtained by capturing a target area where the chips are to be detected, and a chip information determiner that determines chip information concerning the chips for each of the mesh images using a determination parameter preset for determining the chip information.
