Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of numerical control machining, and in particular to an automatic tool measuring method. Background Art

[0002] The fully automatic tool presetter is a tool preset and testing device that is controlled by CNC, driven by a motor, and has automatic positioning of the X, Z, and C axes. The X axis feeds back the diameter of the tool, the Z axis feeds back the length of the tool, and the C axis rotates and focuses automatically, which can feed back the R value of the tool. Most of the tool presetters currently used in China are manual tool presetters, that is, the positioning of the X, Z, and C axes is done manually by the operator. During the measurement, it is necessary to select the measurement point and the measurement method. The measurement process is inefficient, and the measurement results are judged manually by humans due to manual focusing and selection of measurement points, which will lead to large errors in the measurement results.

[0003] The tool information flow of the smart workshop is automatically integrated. The measurement task after the tool assembly is completed is automatically generated by the tool management system in a certain format and sent to the tool presetter. The measurement task should not only include various process information, production information and tool feature information, but also the tool's measurement coordinate point information must be included to achieve fully automatic measurement.

[0004] With the introduction of fully automatic tool presetters and their gradual development in China, fully automatic tool presetters generally use macro programs to automatically measure tools. The macro program needs to preset the measuring points of the tools. Whether the measuring points of the tools are measured manually or automatically, they are the key to accurately measuring tool parameters. The current fully automatic measurement method has certain disadvantages, that is, since the tool length after the tool, tool holder and other accessories are assembled is not a fixed value, and the measurement of diameters D and R are related to the length measurement value of the tool, the measuring point needs to be manually input by the coordinate value, which requires manual measurement before the measuring point can be determined. This method is not a true automatic measurement. It is feasible for batches of tools of the same size, but for tools with different tool lengths, diameters and R, the measuring points cannot be preset. The tools used in processing are composed of tool holders, tools, or accessories. The length of the assembled tool is not a fixed value, because it is not a simple superposition of the tool holder and tool length. This makes it impossible to accurately determine the measuring point in the fully automatic measurement process, and it is impossible to achieve the purpose of automatically and accurately measuring tool parameters. In addition, manual measurement is related to the measurement technology of the measurement personnel, which is easy to cause measurement deviation and low measurement efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention discloses a method for automatic tool measurement, which does not rely on knowing the length of the tool after assembly in advance (because the length is dynamic), and can automatically calculate the measuring point of the tool to be measured based on the nominal diameter and bottom tooth nominal of the tool, the magnification β of the presetter, and the size of the display field of view, and accurately measure the actual value of the tool system length, tool diameter and bottom tooth of the tool based on the measuring point, thereby improving the measurement efficiency and accuracy, and realizing the real sense of automatic tool measurement.

[0012] When R×β≤H and When the tool is measured, a two-step measurement method is used; the first step is that the tool presetter automatically measures the tool system length L2 according to the tool measuring point; the second step is that after the tool presetter changes the coordinates of the tool measuring point, it automatically measures the tool diameter D1 and the tool bottom tooth R1 at the same time.

[0013] When R×β≤H and When the tool is measured, a three-step measurement method is used as the tool measurement method; the first step is that the tool presetter automatically measures the tool system length L2 according to the tool measurement point; the second step is that the tool presetter changes the tool measurement point coordinates and automatically measures the tool bottom tooth R1; the third step is that the tool presetter changes the tool measurement point coordinates again and automatically measures the tool diameter D1.

[0014] When R×β>H, a three-step measurement method combined with a point measurement method is used as the tool measurement method; the first step is that the tool presetter automatically measures the tool system length L2 according to the tool measurement point; the second step is to use the point measurement method to measure the tool bottom tooth R1; the third step is that the tool presetter automatically measures the tool diameter D1 based on the point measurement in the second step.

[0015] Preferably, the tool presetter automatically measures the tool system length L2 according to the tool measurement point, comprising the following steps:

[0016] S411, the host computer calculates the nominal length value L1 of the tool system according to the nominal height value of the tool handle and the nominal blade length value of the tool, and uses the nominal length value L1 as the initial coordinate of the tool measurement point on the Z axis of the presetter coordinate system;

[0021] S416, drive the tool presetter to position the tool measurement point on the Z axis coordinate of the presetter coordinate system. After processing, the precise tool system length L2 is measured immediately.

Under the premise of the presetter, drive the tool presetter to move the tool measurement point along the negative direction of the Z axis of the presetter coordinate system. After rotating the presetter spindle for focusing, the tool diameter D1 and tool bottom tooth R1 are immediately measured.

After the presetter spindle is rotated to focus, the tool diameter D1 is measured immediately.

[0025] Preferably, when R×β>H, measuring the tool bottom tooth R1 by using the point measurement method includes the following steps:

[0026] Drive the main axis of the rotary presetter to focus;

The first measuring point is at L2 of the Z axis of the presetter coordinate system and is at the 1 / 2 coordinate position of the camera field of view height H. The presetter reads and records the coordinates at this location.

[0057] S416, drive the tool presetter to position the tool measurement point on the Z axis coordinate of the presetter coordinate system. After the processing, the accurate tool system length L2 is measured immediately.
