Design of the Broken Tool Detection and Automatic Tool Changing System for All-weather Automatic Machine Tools
This paper studies the problem of tool collapse during the automatic production of workpieces by machine tools around the clock,and proposes an automated solution based on the FANUC PMC window function.In this solu-tion,by monitoring the servo load of the machine tool,when the tool wears or encounters the hardness of the work-piece,the system will automatically detect tool collapse and stop the machine tool from processing.Subsequently,the machine tool will automatically return to a safe position and perform automatic tool change operations to restart pro-cessing.By implementing this solution,processing interruptions and workpiece damage caused by tool collapse can be effectively avoided,and production efficiency and product quality can be improved.This research provides a feasi-ble solution for tool management and machining process stability of all-weather automated machine tools,and has broad application prospects.
