Online management method of numerical control machine tool cutter

Abstract

The invention discloses an online management method of a numerical control machine tool cutter. The method comprises the steps of firstly establishing a numerical control machine tool cutter online management system, establishing a database in a cutter management server, developing a corresponding functional module interface on a workshop tool magazine terminal, programming a sub-program on the numerical control machine tool according to an adopted numerical control system programming rule, receiving and transmitting information between a machine tool and the cutter management server by the cutter management server through calling a function in a serial-port server, performing processing according to the read program data, rewriting or searching the database, and transmitting the searchedinformation to the corresponding numerical control machine tool. Through networking all machining centers and workshop tool magazine terminals, the online management method has advantages of realizingaccurate recording and searching for cutter information, reducing cutter exchange time, sufficiently utilizing the residual service life of the cutter, saving manpower resource and improving production efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to industrial automation management, in particular to an online management method for CNC machine tools. Background technique [0002] With the development and wide application of CNC machine tools (machining centers), the tool management of CNC machine tools has attracted people's attention day by day. A machining center or CNC machine tool usually stores dozens of tools in its tool magazine. In addition, in order to cope with different processing needs and tool wear and damage, a considerable number of spare tools must be stored in the workshop's central tool storage. Cutting tools, if an enterprise has more than five machining centers, then at least hundreds of cutting tools need to be managed. Generally, an enterprise has thousands of tools to manage, and the annual cost of tools is as high as several million yuan. [0003] Tool management includes the registration and search of tool information, the record of tool configura...

Problems solved by technology

The traditional tool management method mainly relies on manual registration, which has problems such as heavy workload, poor real-time performance, and inability to record online information, resulting in too much time spent on tool management, which seriously affects the improvement of production efficiency

Foreign companies use computer management and barcode technology in tool management to manage information such as workshop tool magazines and tool sending and receiving, but there is still no online information about tools installed in machining centers or CNC machine tools, especially tool usage status information. management records

The online information of the tool reflects the real state of the tool. Without the online information of the tool, real tool management cannot be realized
