Intelligent tool management method and system

Abstract

The invention discloses an intelligent tool management method and system, and relates to the technical field of automatic machining. The intelligent tool management method includes the steps of numbering and storing all tools, calculating and storing cutting abrasion losses of all the tools corresponding to different cutting processes of different workpieces, measuring current residual abrasion losses of all the tools and linking the current residual abrasion losses with the numbers of the tools for storage, analyzing to-be-machined workpieces and the cutting processes required in the machining process, calculating the required tool and cutting abrasion loss, finding out the tool with the minimum difference between the residual abrasion loss and the cutting abrasion loss and the corresponding number of the tool and recommending the tool to a user for use, updating the residual abrasion losses of the tools with the corresponding numbers according to the cutting abrasion losses consumedby the cutting processes, analyzing the tools needing to be used in the cutting processes and the cutting abrasion losses of the tools in advance before the workpieces are machined through the tools,and finding out the tool with the closest difference between the residual abrasion loss and the cutting abrasion loss to perform machining treatment on the workpieces. The tools can be used multiple times, the utilization rate of the tools is increased, and the machining cost of the workpieces is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automatic processing, more specifically, it relates to an intelligent tool management method and system. Background technique [0002] In the process of using CNC machine tools to automatically process workpieces, different tools are required according to the structure and precision parameters of the workpiece to be processed. During the cutting process of the workpiece, according to the progress of the process steps, the machine tool uses different tools for processing according to the set program. [0003] Due to the wear and tear of the blade part of the tool during cutting, under continuous cutting conditions, the tool needs to be replaced after it is used until the set life time is approaching; under discontinuous cutting conditions, the tool needs to be replaced after a period of use Once the process is set, it will be replaced. The replaced tool itself also has a certain period of service life. I...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] Aiming at the problem that the service life of the tool is insufficient in actual use, resulting in low tool utilization and increasing the production cost of workpiece processing, the first purpose of the present invention is to propose an intelligent tool management method, which can cut different workpieces according to the service life of the tool itself. Or complete the wear amount corresponding to different processes, calculate the process or cutting amount that the tool can complete within the remaining life span, and constantly dig out the category of the cutting process that the worn tool can complete, and apply the ground tool as much as possible In the cutting process of other processes or workpieces, especially to maximize the use of tools and reduce production costs
