TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of numerical control machine tools, and particularly relates to an online detection method of a numerical control machine tool. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of numerical control machine tool manufacturing technology, modern manufacturing industry has also entered an era of rapid development. At the same time, the complexity and precision requirements of mechanical processing parts are also increasing. The precision requirements of mechanical processing parts not only depend on the technical level of the workshop operators and the precision of the numerical control machine tool, but also the precision detection of the parts is also important. At present, the detection of key dimensions of parts mostly needs to be sent to the quality inspection department after processing, which not only is inefficient, but also is difficult to implement for some large and heavy workpieces. And when the precision of the parts does not meet the requirements and needs to be repaired, a series of problems such as repeated positioning error, alignment error, tool setting error and the like will be faced, greatly increasing the difficulty coefficient of part repair, thereby leading to the increase of the scrap rate. Therefore, an online detection method that can be implemented on a machine tool is an urgent problem for processing personnel to solve. SUMMARY
[0003] The present application provides an online detection method of a numerical control machine tool, which is used for online detection of workpiece key dimensions and shape and position accuracy. The method can save detection time and transportation cost, greatly improve the detection efficiency and reduce the scrap rate of part production.
[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present application adopts the following technical scheme:
[0005] An online detection method of a numerical control machine tool, the method comprising the following steps:
[0006] Rotating the machine tool coordinates by using the coordinate rotation instruction of the numerical control machine tool, so that the first coordinate axis is parallel or perpendicular to the workpiece to be measured;
[0007] Magnetic absorption of the micrometer on the first coordinate axis;
[0008] Moving the machine tool along the second coordinate axis and / or the third coordinate axis, so that the micrometer contacts the first measurement point of the workpiece. At this time, the needle indication of the micrometer is recorded as the first value, and the first indication of the movement of the machine tool along the second coordinate axis and / or the third coordinate axis is recorded;
[0009] Moving the machine tool again along the second coordinate axis and / or the third coordinate axis, so that the micrometer contacts the second measurement point of the workpiece. At this time, the needle indication of the micrometer is also displayed as the first value, and the second indication of the movement of the machine tool along the second coordinate axis and / or the third coordinate axis is recorded;
[0010] The difference between the first and second readings is calculated to obtain the measured size between the first and second measuring points.
[0011] Further, the first axis, the second axis and the third axis are respectively the x-axis, the y-axis and the z-axis of a Cartesian coordinate system.
[0012] Further, the dial gauge is moved along the surface to be measured by the motion of the numerical control machine tool to measure the parallelism or straightness of the surface to be measured.
[0013] Further, the coordinate rotation command of the numerical control machine tool is used to rotate the machine tool coordinate axis parallel or perpendicular to the surface to be measured to measure the angle value or parallelism error between two surfaces.
[0014] Further, the dial gauge is brought into contact with the first surface, and the coordinate axis is moved to make the dial gauge contact the second surface parallel to the first surface, and the movement reading of the machine tool is recorded in the case that the readings of the dial gauge are equal at the two times of contact, to measure the distance between the first surface and the second surface.
[0015] According to the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the method can detect the key size and the straightness, angle, flatness, parallelism and perpendicularity of a workpiece on line. In the present application, the key size and the straightness, angle, flatness, parallelism and perpendicularity of the workpiece can be detected on the machine tool, the repeated clamping error of the workpiece caused by unqualified size is avoided, the workload of detection is reduced, and the scrap rate of the workpiece is greatly reduced.
