Control device for controlling machine tool capable of alarm stop and non-transitory computer readable medium recording a program
A control device, which controls a machine tool capable of alarm stop based on abnormality in machining load, includes: a photographing unit which photographs chips produced as a result of machining of a workpiece; a reference model determination unit which determines in advance a reference model of chips for determining as abnormality in machining, based on images of chips photographed within a predetermined period before alarm stop, in response to an occurrence of alarm stop; and a judgment unit which judges as abnormality occurrence in machining, in a case of a degree of similarity in chips photographed at a predetermined timing in machining later, relative to a reference model of chips that was determined.
1. A control device which controls a machine tool capable of alarm stop based on abnormality in machining load, the control device comprising:
a camera which photographs chips produced as a result of machining of a workpiece; and
a processor, the processor being configured to:
determine in advance a reference model of chips for determining as abnormality in machining, based on images of chips photographed within a predetermined period before alarm stop; and
judge as abnormality occurrence in machining, in a case of a degree of similarity in chips photographed at a predetermined timing in machining later, relative to the reference model of chips that was determined, wherein
the processor initiates compensating the reference model being determined, based on images of chips photographed within a predetermined period before a new alarm stop, in response to an occurrence of the new alarm stop.
2. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor further compensates the reference model being determined, based on images of chips photographed within a predetermined period before an alarm stop of another machine tool.
3. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for causing a computer to operate as a control device which controls a machine tool capable of alarm stop based on abnormality in machining load, the program causing the computer to function as:
a photographing unit which photographs chips produced as a result of machining of a workpiece;
a reference model determination unit which determines in advance a reference model of chips for determining as abnormality in machining, based on images of chips photographed within a predetermined period before alarm stop, in response to an occurrence of alarm stop; and
a judgment unit which judges as abnormality occurrence in machining, in a case of a degree of similarity in chips photographed at a predetermined timing in machining later, relative to the reference model of chips that was determined, wherein
the reference model determination unit initiates compensating the reference model being determined, based on images of chips photographed within a predetermined period before a new alarm stop, in response to an occurrence of the new alarm stop.
4. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor determines the reference model based on an average value of sizes of chips included in the images photographed within a predetermined period.
5. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor determines the reference model based on an average value of shapes of chips included in the images photographed within a predetermined period.
6. The control device according to claim 5 , wherein the processor determines a new reference model based on images of chips photographed within a predetermined period before the new alarm stop, in response to the occurrence of the new alarm stop, and
initiates compensating the reference model based on overlapping portion of the shapes of chips related to the reference model already determined and shape of chips related to the new reference model.
