Abstract

An industrial machinery includes: a drive mechanism driving a control target that moves work or a tool; a motor; a first sensor detecting a position of the control target; a second sensor detecting a position of the motor; a current controller controlling a supply current to the motor; a servo controller outputting a torque instruction to the current controller; and a numerical controller calculating a processing force of the control target to the work based on position information on the control target acquired from the first sensor, position information on the motor acquired from the second sensor, and the torque instruction, the numerical controller determining that the tool is in failure if an absolute value of a first component of the processing force becomes equal to or larger than a first threshold value while processing the work, the first component having a frequency lower than a predetermined frequency.

Claims (19)

1. An industrial machinery comprising:

a drive mechanism driving a control target that moves work or a tool;

a motor operating the drive mechanism;

a first position sensor detecting a position of the control target;

a second position sensor detecting a position of the motor;

a current controller controlling a supply current to the motor;

a servo controller outputting a torque instruction to the current controller, the torque instruction deciding the supply current; and

a numerical controller calculating a processing force of the control target to the work based on position information on the control target acquired from the first position sensor, position information on the motor acquired from the second position sensor, and the torque instruction, the numerical controller determining that the tool is in failure if an absolute value of a first component of the processing force becomes equal to or larger than a first threshold value while processing the work, the first component having a frequency lower than a predetermined frequency.

2. The industrial machinery according to claim 1 , wherein the numerical controller determines that the control target is in failure if the absolute value of the first component does not exceed a second threshold value while processing the work, the second threshold value being smaller than the first threshold value.

3. The industrial machinery according to claim 1 , wherein an origin of the first component has an offset based on weight of the control target.

4. The industrial machinery according to claim 1 , wherein the numerical controller determines that the control target is in failure based on an absolute value of a second component of the processing force, the second component having a frequency equal to or higher than the predetermined frequency.

5. The industrial machinery according to claim 1 , wherein the numerical controller comprises a low-pass filtering function or a low-pass filter circuit,

wherein the predetermined frequency is a cut-off frequency of the low-pass filtering function or the low-pass filter circuit.

6. A control method of an industrial machinery comprising a drive mechanism driving a control target that moves work or a tool, a motor operating the drive mechanism, a current controller controlling a supply current to the motor, a servo controller outputting a torque instruction to the current controller, the torque instruction deciding the supply current, and a numerical controller controlling the servo controller, the method comprising:

calculating a processing force of the tool to the work by the numerical controller based on position information on the control target, position information on the motor, and the torque instruction; and

determining that the tool is in failure if an absolute value of a first component of the processing force becomes equal to or larger than a first threshold value while processing the work, the first component having a frequency lower than a predetermined frequency.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the numerical controller determines that the control target is in failure based on an absolute value of a second component of the processing force, the second component having a frequency equal to or higher than the predetermined frequency.

8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the numerical controller comprises a low-pass filtering function or a low-pass filter circuit,

wherein the predetermined frequency is a cut-off frequency of the low-pass filtering function or the low-pass filter circuit.
