  • Process for operating a virtual sensor for determining the condition of a tool holder on a tool machine; virtual sensor for determining the condition of a tool holder and tool machine
    Patent number: 11571778
    Abstract: A process for operating a virtual sensor for determining the condition of a tool holder on a tool machine, such as a spindle, and the condition of a tool machine which has at least one tool holder and at least one tool, attached or attachable to the tool holder, which allows a workpiece to be processed by running a machine program, and which has at least one control unit comprising at least one sensor.

  • Method for detecting at least one tool state of a tool of a machine tool for machining workpieces and machine tool
    Patent number: 10948894
    Abstract: A method for detecting at least one tool state of a tool of a machine tool for machining workpieces, which includes at least one tool holder, at least one positioning drive, which includes at least one tool which is arrangeable or arranged rotationally fixed in the tool holder and which includes at least one control unit. The method includes the following steps: detecting or providing tool and/or workpiece data in the storage means and/or the control unit; providing at least one reference drive frequency of the rotary drive and/or the positioning drive; detecting at least one ACTUAL driving frequency of the rotary drive and/or the positioning drive; assigning the ACTUAL drive frequency of a reference drive frequency of the rotary drive and/or the positioning drive by the control unit and evaluating and/or interpreting at least the reference drive frequency associated with the ACTUAL drive frequency by the control unit.
