  • Patent number: 11281188
    Abstract: A controller for a machining-device includes a control-unit. The control-unit sequentially repeats a tapping step of tapping at a tapping-position by moving a tool from a retracted-position to a depth-position while rotating the tool in a normal direction, a retracting step of retracting the tool by moving from the depth-position to the retracted-position while rotating the tool in a reverse direction, and a positioning step of positioning a subsequent tapping-position. The control-unit performs a process including starting the positioning step at the same time as when the tool passes a reference-position in the retracting step, completing the positioning step at the same time as when the tool passes the reference-position in the tapping step, and controlling a timing at which acceleration of a workpiece and the tool finishes in the tapping step and a timing at which deceleration of the workpiece and the tool starts in the retracting step.

  • Patent number: 11048227
    Abstract: Provided is an abnormality detection device with which an abnormality of a machining state of a machine tool can be detected based on information on a section where machining is actually performed in machine tool-based machining. The abnormality detection device detects an abnormality of a machining state of a machine tool machining a workpiece with a tool. The machine tool includes a determination unit determining the machining state by using information related to an actual cutting section in the tool-based machining of the workpiece in the machine tool. The determination unit performs the machining state determination by using a deviation in position and length of a section recognized as the actual cutting section and a physical quantity in the actual cutting section acquired from the machine tool.

  • Patent number: 10866573
    Abstract: A machine learning device included in a cutting fluid supply timing control device observes operating state data regarding an operating state of a cutting fluid supply device as a state variable representing a current environment state, acquires supply timing data indicating a timing of supplying a cutting fluid as label data, and then learns the operating state data and the supply timing data in association with each other by using these state variable and label data.

  • Publication number: 20180126506
    Abstract: A machine tool includes a spindle to which a tool is attached, and a table configured to support a workpiece, and machines the workpiece by the tool by moving the spindle and the table relative to each other. The machine tool includes a box-shaped cover member placed on the table and configured to be open on the spindle side, and a lid member attached to a column configured to support the spindle, the lid member being configured to cover the spindle side of the cover member, the lid member including an insertion hole formed therein through which the tool can be inserted. Following the relative movement between the spindle and the table, the lid member and the cover member move relative to each other as viewed in a plane intersecting with the axial direction of the spindle.
