Abstract

A machining device for scraping a workpiece is provided. The machining device includes: a drive unit for driving a scraper; a first detection unit for detecting the position of the scraper; a second detection unit for detecting the machining force of the scraper with respect to the workpiece; a first acquisition unit for acquiring information relating to displacement of the scraper; a second acquisition unit for acquiring information relating to the machining force of the scraper; and a control unit for driving the drive unit based on the information relating to the displacement of the scraper by the first acquisition unit and the information relating to the machining force of the scraper acquired by the second acquisition unit, so the displacement and the machining force of the scraper satisfy a prescribed relationship. A control device and a control method for the machining device are also provided.

Claims (7)

1. A control method for a machining device that includes a scraper driven by a driver for scraping a workpiece, the control method comprising:

a determination step for determining whether or not the workpiece is properly cut by the scraper;

a storing step for storing, in a storage, a correlation between a displacement and a machining force of the scraper upon determining the workpiece to be properly cut by the scraper in the determination step;

a first acquisition step for acquiring information relating to displacement of the scraper;

a second acquisition step for acquiring information relating to machining force of the scraper with respect to the workpiece;

a control step for controlling an operation of the driver, so that the correlation between the displacement of the scraper acquired in the first acquisition step and the machining force of the scraper acquired in the second acquisition step is matched with the correlation stored in the storage, and

the correlation between the displacement and the machining force of the scraper is obtained based on a correlation between a displacement of the scraper and time upon the workpiece determined in the determination step to be properly cut by the scraper, and a correlation between a machining force of the scraper and time upon the workpiece determined in the determination step to be properly cut by the scraper.
