CONTROL DEVICE FOR MACHINE TOOL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18557793 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE FOR MACHINE TOOL
Simplified Explanation: The control device for a machine tool described in the patent application is designed to efficiently shred chips during machining by oscillating the tool and workpiece relative to each other.
- The device includes a comparison unit, an oscillation command generation unit, and a position/speed control unit.
- The comparison unit compares the calculated oscillation amplitude with a set minimum value to determine the oscillation command.
- The oscillation command generation unit generates commands based on the oscillation condition and amplitude values.
- The position/speed control unit then oscillates the workpiece and tool based on the superimposed command.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Control device for a machine tool to optimize chip shredding during machining.
- Utilizes oscillation of the tool and workpiece for efficient material removal.
- Comparison unit ensures proper oscillation amplitude for effective machining.
- Position/speed control unit implements superimposed commands for precise oscillation.
Potential Applications:
- Metalworking industries
- CNC machining
- Automotive manufacturing
Problems Solved:
- Inefficient chip shredding during machining
- Lack of control over oscillation amplitudes
- Inconsistent material removal rates
Benefits:
- Improved chip shredding efficiency
- Enhanced control over oscillation during machining
- Consistent material removal rates
Commercial Applications: The technology can be applied in industries such as metalworking, CNC machining, and automotive manufacturing to improve efficiency and precision in material removal processes.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the control device optimize chip shredding during machining? 2. What are the key components of the control device for a machine tool described in the patent application?
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a control device for a machine tool that can suitably shred chips in a state without good conformability. A control device for a machine tool which oscillates a tool and a workpiece relative to each other while machining comprises: a comparison unit that compares the oscillation amplitude calculated value calculated by an oscillation amplitude calculation unit and the oscillation amplitude minimum value set by a minimum value setting unit; an oscillation command generation unit that generates an oscillation command on the basis of the oscillation condition and the value of the oscillation amplitude obtained from the comparison results of the comparison unit; and a position/speed control unit that oscillates the workpiece and the tool relative to each other on the basis of a superimposition command obtained by superimposing the oscillation command over a position command.
