Tool management system and tool management method

Abstract

The application provides a tool management system and a tool management method. The system comprises a tool life management device, and a tool preparation device and a tool setting gauge which are connected with the tool life management device. The tool setting gauge is used for detecting whether a tool is damaged or not according to a preset detection mode and sending the detection result to the tool life management device, wherein the preset detection mode includes tool tip detection and contour detection. The tool life management device is used for acquiring tool information and getting tool use status and tool experience life information according to the tool information, wherein the tool information includes tool compensation value, main axis load rate, product machining dimension information and tool damage status. The tool preparation device is used for judging whether there is a need to prepare a tool according to the tool use status and the tool experience life information, preparing a tool after determining that there is a need to prepare a tool, and replacing a tool with a spare tool when the service life of the tool reaches the maximum. Through the system and the method, the service life of a tool can be monitored in real time, a tool can be prepared in a timely manner, and the time for tool replacement is reduced.

Description

Technical field [0001] This application relates to the field of tool management, and in particular to a tool management system and method. Background technique [0002] Traditional CNC (Computerized Numerical Control Machine, computer numerical control machine tool) tool adopts the extensive method, in addition to the technical personnel's experience and the timing of the tool setting instrument to detect the tool, the wear condition of the tool is also evaluated by empirical value, such as the stipulation D6 The service life of the end mill is 500Pcs. When the machining reaches 500Pcs, the technician replaces the tool, and the CNC restores the initial tool life of 500Pcs. However, the technician cannot accurately confirm whether the tool needs to be replaced, so the tool room often cannot prepare the tool in time. There will be a lot of time wasted when changing tools, reducing CNC utilization rate. Summary of the invention [0003] In view of this, the present application provi...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] Traditional CNC (Computerized Numerical Control Machine, computer numerical control machine tool) tools adopt an extensive method. In addition to the experience of technicians and regular inspection of the tool for tool breaking, the wear condition of the tool is also evaluated by empirical values. For example, D6 The service life of the end mill is 500Pcs. When the processing reaches 500Pcs, the technician replaces the tool, and the CNC restores the initial life of the tool to 500Pcs. However, the technician cannot accurately confirm whether the tool needs to be replaced, so the tool room is often unable to prepare the tool in time. There will be a lot of time wasted when changing the tool, reducing the CNC utilization rate
