Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of CNC machining technology, and in particular to an automatic tool measurement method. Background Technology

[0002] A fully automatic tool pre-adjustment device is a CNC-controlled, motor-driven tool pre-adjustment and testing equipment with automatic X, Z, and C-axis positioning. The X-axis provides feedback on the tool diameter, the Z-axis on the tool length, and the C-axis automatically focuses and provides feedback on the tool's radius (R) value. Currently, most tool pre-adjustment devices used in China are manual, meaning the X, Z, and C-axis positioning is done manually by the operator. Measurements require selecting measurement points and methods, resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, manual focusing and point selection, coupled with human judgment of measurement results, can lead to significant errors.

[0003] The tool information flow in the smart workshop is automated and integrated. After the tool assembly is completed, the measurement task is automatically generated by the tool management system according to a certain format and sent to the tool pre-adjustment instrument. The measurement task should not only include various process information, production information and tool characteristic information, but also, in order to achieve fully automatic measurement, it must also include the tool measurement coordinate point information.

[0004] With the introduction and gradual development of fully automatic tool presetting machines in China, these machines generally employ macro programs for automatic tool measurement. These macro programs require presetting tool measurement points, which are crucial for accurate tool parameter measurement, whether done manually or automatically. Current fully automatic measurement methods have certain drawbacks. Because the assembled tool length (including the tool holder and other accessories) is not a fixed value, and the diameter (D) and radius (R) measurements are related to the tool length, measurement points require manual input of coordinate values. This necessitates manual measurement before determining the measurement points. This method is not truly automatic. While feasible for batches of tools of the same size, it cannot pre-set measurement points for tools with different lengths, diameters, and radius (R). Furthermore, the tools used in machining consist of a tool holder, the tool itself, and accessories; the assembled tool length is not a fixed value, as it is not simply the sum of the tool holder and tool lengths. This makes it impossible for fully automatic measurement to accurately determine measurement points, failing to achieve the goal of automatically and accurately measuring tool parameters. Moreover, manual measurement is dependent on the operator's skill level, easily leading to measurement errors and low efficiency. Summary of the Invention

Immediately after processing, the precise length of the tool system is measured. .

2. The automatic tool measurement method as described in claim 1, characterized in that: when and At the same time, the tool diameter is automatically measured. and the bottom teeth of the cutting tool The tool measuring point is located at the Z-axis coordinate of the pre-adjustment coordinate system. Under the premise of this condition, the tool pre-adjustment device moves the tool measurement point along the negative Z-axis of the pre-adjustment device coordinate system. After the spindle of the rotary pre-adjuster is focused, the tool diameter is immediately measured. and the bottom teeth of the cutting tool .

3. The automatic tool measurement method as described in claim 1, characterized in that: when and At that time, the bottom teeth of the cutting tool are automatically measured. The tool measuring point is located at the Z-axis coordinate of the pre-adjustment coordinate system. Under the premise of this condition, the tool pre-adjustment device moves the tool measurement point along the negative Z-axis of the pre-adjustment device coordinate system. After the spindle of the rotary pre-adjuster is focused, the bottom teeth of the tool are immediately measured. .

4. The automatic tool measurement method as described in claim 3, characterized in that: when and At that time, the diameter of the cutting tool is automatically measured. It is during the completion of the bottom teeth of the cutting tool After measurement, keeping the coordinates of the tool measurement point on the Z-axis of the presetter coordinate system unchanged, drive the tool presetter to position the coordinates of the tool measurement point on the X-axis of the presetter coordinate system. At this point, after the spindle of the rotary pre-adjuster is focused, the tool diameter is immediately measured. .

5. The automatic tool measurement method as described in claim 1, characterized in that: when At that time, the point measurement method was used to measure the bottom teeth of the cutting tool. Includes the following steps: Drive the rotary pre-adjuster spindle to focus; The first measuring point is located on the X-axis of the pre-adjustment instrument coordinate system. The first measuring point is located on the Z-axis of the pre-adjustment instrument coordinate system. At that location, and at the camera's field of view height. of Coordinate location; the coordinates at this location are read and recorded by the preset instrument; The second measuring point is located on the X-axis of the pre-adjustment instrument coordinate system, and moved relative to the first measuring point in the positive X-axis direction. The position of the value; the second measuring point is on the Z-axis of the pre-adjustment coordinate system, moved relative to the first measuring point in the positive Z-axis direction. The position of the value; the preset instrument reads and records the coordinates at that location; The third measuring point is located on the X-axis of the pre-adjustment instrument coordinate system, and moved relative to the first measuring point in the positive X-axis direction. The position of the value; the third measuring point is on the Z-axis of the pre-adjustment coordinate system, moved relative to the first measuring point in the positive Z-axis direction. The position of the value; the preset instrument reads and records the coordinates at that location; After obtaining the coordinate data of the three measuring points, the tool pre-adjustment device fits the coordinate data of the three measuring points to obtain the tool root teeth. .

6. The automatic tool measurement method as described in claim 5, characterized in that: when At that time, the diameter of the cutting tool is automatically measured. Under the condition that the coordinates of the third measuring point remain unchanged, the pre-adjustment instrument automatically measures the tool diameter. .
