Abstract

To provide a rotary table device that can prevent the occurrence of malfunction before it happens. A rotary table device equipped with both or one of a clamping mechanism and purge mechanism which operate by way of working fluid, the rotary table device including: a detection unit that detects a pressure or flow rate of the working fluid; a transition information storage unit that acquires and stores transition information related to transition of a pressure value or flow rate value of the working fluid detected by the detection unit; a judgment value storage unit that stores in advance a plurality of sets of judgment value information related to judgment values for judging a pressure value or flow rate value of the working fluid; and a notification unit that notifies of notification information according to the pressure value or flow rate value of the working fluid, based on the transition information stored in the transition information storage unit and the plurality of sets of judgment value information stored in the judgment value storage unit.

Claims (12)

1. A rotary table device comprising:

both or one of a clamping mechanism and purge mechanism which operate by way of working fluid, the clamping mechanism including a brake disk configured to stop rotation of a rotating shaft, and the purge mechanism being arranged on an interior portion of the rotary table device;

a detection unit that detects a pressure or flow rate of the working fluid;

a transition information storage unit that acquires and stores transition information related to transition of a pressure value or flow rate value of the working fluid detected by the detection unit;

a judgment value storage unit that is programmed to store in advance a plurality of sets of judgment value information related to judgment values for judging a pressure value or flow rate value of the working fluid; and

a notification unit that notifies of notification information according to the pressure value or flow rate value of the working fluid, based on the transition information stored in the transition information storage unit and the plurality of sets of judgment value information stored in the judgment value storage unit.

2. The rotary table device according to claim 1 , wherein the judgment value storage unit stores in advance a plurality of judgment ranges for judging the pressure value or flow rate value of the working fluid, as the plurality of sets of judgment value information,

wherein the plurality of judgment ranges includes an NG range, a recommended range, and a caution range between the NG range and the recommended range, and

wherein the notification unit notifies of a first notification matter as the notification information, in a case of the pressure value or flow rate value of the working fluid being in a declining trend in the recommended range, and notifies of a second notification matter as the notification information, in a case of the pressure value or flow rate value of the working fluid transitioning in the caution range.

3. The rotary table device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the first notification matter is a notification matter prompting alert; and

wherein the second notification matter is a notification matter of a warning prompting to raise the pressure value or flow rate value of the working fluid.
