AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing imaging devices for capturing the inside of processing machines often face challenges in adjusting the imaging environment to suit the imaging needs, leading to issues such as tools being blocked by coolants or other obstructions.

Method used

An imaging environment adjustment device that includes a trigger detection unit, a setting table, a judgment result acquisition unit, and an imaging environment adjustment unit, which detects triggers, acquires operation status information, determines whether to adjust the imaging environment, and controls the processing machine components to adjust the environment accordingly.

Benefits of technology

This solution allows for the adjustment of the imaging environment to a state suitable for imaging, ensuring that the target, such as a tool, can be reliably captured by the imaging device, even when obstructed by coolants or other components.

Abstract

This imaging environment adjusting device comprises: a trigger detection unit which detects at least one type of trigger; a setting table which stores at least one environment setting item for defining an imaging environment for a processing machine; a determination result acquisition unit which acquires a determination result regarding whether to adjust the imaging environment so as to be in a control state specified by the at least one environment setting item; and an imaging environment adjusting unit which adjusts the imaging environment so as to be in the control state specified by the at least one environment setting item when the trigger detection unit detects at least one type of trigger and the determination result acquired by the determination result acquisition unit indicates to adjust the imaging environment.
