Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the number of tools by judging the need of the tool grinding according to the abrasion of a tool by comparing the shape values such as outside diameter and length of a tool tip with the shape values previously set and working the tool tip to a prescribed shape when the need of the tool grinding is judged and correcting the position of the tool on the basis of the result of the measurement after the working. CONSTITUTION:After the suspension of working. a main spindle part 3 is shifted to a measurement part (sensor 7), and the outside diameter and length of a tool 4 are measured by the sensor 7, and these values are compared with the previously inputted or measured and memorized tool shape values, and the abrasion quantity of the tool is detected. It is judged if the detected abrasion quantity of the tool is within the standard value of the allowable tool abrasion which is previously set. When the tool abrasion quantity is over the standard value, a signal for requiring the tool grinding is outputted. The main spindle part 3 shifts to a tool grinding part (grinding wheel 8), and the tool 4 is ground to a prescribed shape. After said grinding work, the tool 4 is shifted to the measurement part again, and the length of the tool 4 is measured, and said value is compared with the initial shape value which is previously memorized, and the reduced quantity of the tool is calculated, and the setting position is corrected by said dimension.

(Prior Art) FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing how to deal with tool wear when tool wear occurs in a conventional numerically controlled machine tool. In other words, machining is interrupted by detecting changes in machining phenomena such as cutting resistance, or machining is temporarily interrupted every time a certain amount of machining is performed, and the wear state of the tool is measured in that state. If the tool has reached the wear limit, an alarm will be generated as in the example shown in Figure 7 (a), machining will be stopped and the tool will wait until the tool is replaced, or as in the example shown in (b). The conventional method was to output a tool change command and restart machining after changing the tool.

(Problem to be solved by the invention wi) However, if the tool was replaced every time the tool reached its wear limit as described above, a large number of tools would be required, and furthermore, numerical control without an automatic tool changer would require a large number of tools. With machine tools, after stopping machining, the tool is manually replaced and then restarted.
Since it is necessary to set the tool,
There was a problem that it interfered with continuous processing.

Next, the operation of the tool grinder section in step 107 will be explained. Figure 5 shows the grinding wheel 8 of the tool grinding machine section.
The inclination angle θ of the grinding wheel rotation axis is variable in this tool grinding machine, and the angle θ is determined from the shape of the bottom edge of the tool 4, and at the same time, the machining of the tool 4 on the grinding wheel 8. You can also find the location. This can be done more easily than in a conventional tool grinder, in which the chucking part of the tool is rotated on two axes for grinding, since it is only necessary to tilt the grindstone rotation axis on one axis.

After the angle θ and the machining position of the tool 4 are determined, the position of the tool 4 is determined based on the position of the cutting edge determined by the measuring element 6 and the position information of the upper surface of the grinding wheel measured in advance. The main shaft part 3 is rotated so that the extension line of the bottom cutting edge coincides with the center of the whetstone rotation axis, and the Z-axis makes a cut and the XY gives a feed motion, and the bottom edge of the tool 4 is cut at a medium-low angle and a second bottom edge. Grind the corners at the same time. Then, after the grinding of the sword is completed, the rotation and grinding of the main shaft portion 3 are sequentially repeated to match the number of blades inputted in advance. Also,
If necessary, the grindstone 8 may be tilted 90'' to grind the tool side edge.
