  • Publication number: 20200109942
    Abstract: An arc processing method is provided. Firstly, a machining program code is provided, wherein the machining program code includes a control code for machining an arc having a start point and an end point. Then, the machining program code is analyzed to obtain a first start point vector and a first end point vector, both defined by a first coordinate system, of a tool. Then, the first start point vector is converted to a second start point vector defined by a second coordinate system. Then, the first end point vector is converted to a second end point vector defined by the second coordinate system. Then, a plurality of first interpolation vectors of interpolation points, defined by the second coordinate system and interposed between the second start point vector and the second end point vector, are obtained. Then, all the first interpolation vectors are converted into corresponding second interpolation vectors.

  • Patent number: 10493583
    Abstract: A detection device, detection method, and compensation method for tool wear, applied to a machine tool including a spindle connected to a tool. A first parameter set including a first cutting depth having a zero cutting depth is set, and the machine tool performs a cutting procedure with the first parameter set to record a first loading rate of the spindle. A second parameter set including a second cutting depth having a non-zero cutting depth is set, and the machine tool performs the cutting procedure with the second parameter set to record a second loading rate of the spindle. A processing device calculates an estimated cutting force according to the loading rates and a machine performance database. A fuzzy logic unit outputs a wear level according to a tool wear database and the estimated cutting force. The machine tool adjusts a cutting locus according to the wear level.
