  • Patent number: 10802461
    Abstract: A controller for a machine tool is configured to shred chips in thread cutting. The controller includes a processor that calculates an oscillation amplitude and an oscillation direction for shredding the chips from lathe-turning machining. The chip shredding is based on an infeed amount in a radial direction of a work and a shift amount in a circumferential direction of the work relative to a last machining path of a tool used for the lathe-turning machining on the work. The processor also calculates an oscillation command for causing the work and the tool to oscillate relative to each other based on the calculated oscillation amplitude and the oscillation direction. The processor then adds a movement command for moving the work and the tool relative to each other for the machining and the oscillation command.
