Abstract

A detection device includes an idling feed threshold acquiring unit configured to acquire, as an idling feed threshold, a threshold of an acceptable load in an idling feed operation; an expected load acquiring unit configured to acquire, as an expected load, an expected increase in load due to execution of an actual machining operation; a calculating unit configured to calculate, based on the idling feed threshold and the expected load, an actual machining threshold which is a threshold of an acceptable load in the actual machining operation; an actual machining load acquiring unit configured to acquire, as an actual machining load, an actual load during an actual machining operation; and a detecting unit configured to detect, based on the operating mode, an excess of the actual machining load relative to the idling feed threshold or the actual machining threshold.

Claims (20)

1. A detection device to detect an abnormality in a removal machining load on a feed axis in a removal machining feed by a removal machining device, the detection device comprising:

an idling feed threshold acquiring unit configured to acquire, as an idling feed threshold, a threshold of an acceptable load in an idling feed operation where a workpiece is not machined;

an expected load acquiring unit configured to acquire, as an expected load, an expected increase in load due to execution of an actual machining operation in which the workpiece is actually machined;

a calculating unit configured to calculate, based on the idling feed threshold and the expected load, an actual machining threshold, which is a threshold of an acceptable load in an actual machining operation;

an operating mode acquiring unit configured to acquire whether the operating mode is an idling feed operation or an actual machining operation;

an actual machining load acquiring unit configured to acquire, as an actual machining load, an actual load during an actual machining operation;

a detecting unit configured to detect, based on the operating mode, an excess of the actual machining load relative to the idling feed threshold or the actual machining threshold; and

an output unit configured to output a signal indicating the excess of the actual machining load.

2. The detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the calculating unit calculates a sum of the idling feed threshold and the expected load as the actual machining threshold.

3. The detection device according to claim 1 , further comprising a load determining unit configured to determine the expected load according to a type of the tool or a type of removal machining,

wherein the expected load acquiring unit acquires the expected load determined by the load determining unit.

4. A storage medium storing a program to cause a computer to operate as a detection device to detect an abnormality in a removal machining load on a feed axis in a removal machining feed by a removal machining device,

the program causing the computer to function as:

an idling feed threshold acquiring unit configured to acquire, as an idling feed threshold, a threshold of an acceptable load in an idling feed operation where a workpiece is not machined;

an expected load acquiring unit configured to acquire, as an expected load, an expected increase in load due to execution of an actual machining operation in which the workpiece is actually machined;

a calculating unit configured to calculate, based on the idling feed threshold and the expected load, an actual machining threshold, which is a threshold of an acceptable load in an actual machining operation;

an operating mode acquiring unit configured to acquire whether the operating mode is an idling feed operation or an actual machining operation;

an actual machining load acquiring unit configured to acquire, as an actual machining load, an actual load during an actual machining operation;

a detecting unit configured to detect, based on the operating mode, an excess of the actual machining load relative to the idling feed threshold or the actual machining threshold; and

an output unit configured to output a signal indicating the excess of the actual machining load.
