System and method for automatically recording geometric parameters of numerical-control tools

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of numerical-control machining and discloses a system and a method for automatically recording geometric parameters of numerical-control tools. The method includes that an industrial computer transmits tool geometric parameters acquired by a numerical tool setter to a numerical-control tool management system; the numerical-control tool management system analyzes tool geometric parameters, tool codes and numerical-control machining center codes corresponding to the tools from received data, converts tool geometric parameters and tool codes into a text corresponding to the numerical-control machining center codes and identifiable by the numerical-control system according to the numerical-control machining center codes, and transmit the text to a DNC (direct numerical control) server; a numerical-control machining center downloads the text identifiable by numerical-control system types of the numerical-control machining center from the DNC server, analyzes the text and updates data corresponding to the tools according to acquired data analyzed. During the whole recording process of the tool geometric parameters, the tool codes and the numerical-control machining center codes are recorded only during tool aligning, so that recorded data are few, work efficiency is improved, error is small and safety is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of numerical control machining, in particular to a system and method for automatically inputting geometric parameters of numerical control tools. Background technique [0002] In the field of CNC machining technology, the current method for entering geometric parameters of tools on CNC machine tools in enterprises is generally: first use a tool setting instrument to perform tool setting, read the geometric parameter information of the tool, and then use manual input. The operation panel input to the CNC machine tool. Tool geometry parameters mainly include: tool length, diameter, tool nose arc radius, entering angle, deviation of turning tool tip from the center of the part, etc. [0003] The manual entry of tool geometric parameters has the following disadvantages: First, the process is cumbersome and inefficient: the worker needs to take out the tool from the machine tool first, then read the tool paramet...

[0003] The manual entry of tool geometric parameters has the following disadvantages: First, the process is cumbersome and inefficient: the worker needs to take out the tool from the machine tool first, then read the tool parameters on the tool setting instrument, and manually copy or print out the tool setting instrument. The tool parameter data, and finally enter the corresponding tool parameters on the operation panel of the CNC machine tool

In this mode of operation, the process is cumbersome and there are many types of tools, resulting in low work efficiency and heavy workload for workers.

Second, the probability of error is high, which may lead to processing accidents: the number of parameters input in the tool setting instrument is large, and the manual input method will greatly increase the error probability, which may cause inaccurate and out-of-sync tool parameters

What's more serious is that if you misread the number of decimal places in the parameters during manual entry, the difference between the tool size parameters entered into the CNC machining center on the machine panel and the actual parameters is too large, which will cause tool damage or even cause machining accidents.
