Cutting apparatus and contact position specifying program
A controller uses detection information of a contact sensor or time-series data of a detection value related to a drive motor included in a rotation mechanism and/or a feed mechanism to acquire a coordinate value when a cutting tool comes into contact with a to-be-cut object or a component. The controller determines a relative positional relationship between the cutting tool and a rotation center of the to-be-cut object based on coordinate values when the cutting tool comes into contact with the to-be-cut object subjected to turning work or a reference surface whose relative positional relationship with the rotation center of the to-be-cut object is known at least at two positions different from a rotation angle position of the cutting tool during the turning work.
1. A cutting apparatus comprising:
a rotation drive motor that rotates a spindle to which a cutting tool or to-be-cut object is attached;
a feed drive motor that moves the cutting tool relative to a target object; and
a controller that is programmed to control rotation of the spindle by the rotation drive motor and relative movement of the cutting tool by the feed drive motor, wherein
the controller is programmed to have a capability of acquiring a coordinate value when the cutting tool is moved relative to an object having a known shape to bring a cutting edge of the cutting tool into contact with a portion having the known shape of the object using detection information of a contact sensor or time-series data of a detection value related to the rotation drive motor and/or the feed drive motor, and
the controller is programmed to obtain, based on coordinate values when the cutting edge of the cutting tool comes into contact with the portion having the known shape of the object at least at three positions, at least one of a nose radius of the cutting edge of the cutting tool, center coordinates of the cutting edge of the cutting tool, and an error in shape of the cutting edge of the cutting tool.

the controller is programmed to specify, based on coordinate values when the cutting tool is moved relative to the to-be-cut object subjected to cutting work by a feed capability of the feed drive motor in a movement direction not used for the cutting work to bring a cutting edge of the cutting tool into contact with the to-be-cut object at least at two positions, at least one of an attachment error of the cutting tool, an error in shape of the cutting edge of the cutting tool, and a deviation in the movement direction of the cutting tool relative to the to-be-cut object.
