Abstract

An abnormality detection apparatus includes: a state observation section that observes tool weight data on weights of tools attached to a tool exchange device, tool balance data on balances of the tools, and tool exchange state data on a state during exchange of the tools; a tool exchange state data storage section that stores the tool weight data, the tool balance data, and the tool exchange state data in association with each other; and a determination result output section that detects an abnormality in the exchange of the tools based on the tool weight data, the tool balance data, and the tool exchange state data observed by the state observation section during the exchange of the tools in the processing machine and the data stored in the tool exchange state data storage section.

Claims (15)

1. An abnormality detection apparatus that detects an abnormality during exchange of tools in a machine tool having a tool exchange device, the abnormality detection apparatus comprising:

a state observation section that observes tool weight data on weights of the tools attached to the tool exchange device, tool balance data on balances of the tools, and tool exchange state data on a state during the exchange of the tools;

a tool exchange state data storage section that stores the tool weight data, the tool balance data, and the tool exchange state data in association with each other; and

a determination result output section that detects an abnormality in the exchange of the tools based on the tool weight data, the tool balance data, and the tool exchange state data observed by the state observation section during the exchange of the tools in the processing machine and the data stored in the tool exchange state data storage section.

2. The abnormality detection apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a learning section that performs a cluster analysis of the tool weight data and the tool balance data stored in the tool exchange state data storage section, wherein

the learning section stores information for identifying clusters obtained as a result of the cluster analysis in association with the tool weight data, the tool balance data, and the tool exchange state data stored in the tool exchange state data storage section.

3. The abnormality detection apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein,

when the tool weight data, the tool balance data, and the tool exchange state data are observed by the state observation section during the exchange of the tools in the processing machine,

the learning section determines to which cluster the tool weight data and the tool balance data belong, and

the determination result output section detects an abnormality in the exchange of the tools based on the tool exchange state data, and tool exchange state data belonging to the cluster among tool exchange state data items stored in the tool exchange state data storage section.

4. The abnormality detection apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

the determination result output section detects an abnormality in the exchange of the tools based on a threshold calculated based on the tool exchange state data belonging to the cluster among the tool exchange state data items stored in the tool exchange state data storage section.

5. The abnormality detection apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the tool exchange state data includes information on a result as to whether the exchange of the tools is normally performed or an abnormality has occurred in the exchange of the tools.
