Safety buffer system for machining center and control method thereof
By constructing a three-level safety protection architecture with fixed and mobile safety detection units in the CNC machining center, a graded response is achieved, enabling uninterrupted machining during deceleration, recoverable program pauses, and emergency shutdowns. This solves the problems of frequent interruptions and safety hazards caused by traditional safety light curtains, and improves the balance between safety and efficiency.

AI Technical Summary
The safety light curtain mechanism of traditional CNC machining centers, which stops processing frequently upon contact, affects processing efficiency. Furthermore, operators may disable safety devices in an effort to improve efficiency, creating safety hazards.
A three-tiered security protection architecture is constructed using fixed and mobile security detection units, generating differentiated response signals in the peripheral, internal, and core areas respectively, to achieve a graded response mechanism that enables uninterrupted processing during deceleration, program pause with recovery capability, and emergency shutdown.
While ensuring safety, we reduce the frequency of unplanned downtime, improve equipment efficiency, avoid safety hazards caused by violations of regulations, and improve the balance between safety and efficiency.
