Abstract

A machine tool system includes a spindle assembly, a loading device, a sensing device, and a control device. The control device controls the loading device to move a workpiece until a first engagement portion of the workpiece contacts an end face of the spindle assembly. The control device also controls the spindle assembly to rotate, receives a feedback signal from the sensing device related to the workpiece contacting the end face while the spindle assembly rotates, obtains a measurement value based on the feedback signal, and, when the measurement value meets an insertion condition, positions a receiving portion of the spindle assembly facing a mounting portion of the workpiece and a second engagement portion facing the first engagement portion. The control device further controls the loading device to continuously move the workpiece until the receiving portion receives the mounting portion and the first engagement portion mates with the second engagement portion.

Claims

1. A machine tool system adapted to load a workpiece including a mounting portion and a first engagement portion, the mounting portion being formed at a center and the first engagement portion being formed at the mounting portion, the machine tool system comprising: a spindle assembly rotatable about a center line and having an end face, a receiving portion and a second engagement portion, the receiving portion extending axially from the end face along the center line in a direction away from the end face, the second engagement portion being formed at the outer periphery of the receiving portion, the spindle assembly being capable of stopping in an alignment position such that the receiving portion faces the mounting portion of the workpiece and the second engagement portion faces the first engagement portion of the workpiece; and a loading device for moving the workpiece toward the spindle assembly; A sensing device is used to monitor a physical change related to the workpiece contacting the end face and output a feedback signal; and a control device is signal-connected to the sensing device, the loading device and the spindle device, and is used to control the loading device to move the workpiece until the first engagement portion of the workpiece contacts the end face of the spindle device. The control device is also used to control the spindle device to rotate, receive a feedback signal related to the workpiece contacting the end face while the spindle device is rotating, obtain a measurement value based on the feedback signal, stop the spindle device at the alignment position when the measurement value meets an insertion condition, and control the loading device to continuously move the workpiece to the receiving part to receive the mounting part and the first engagement portion to mate with the second engagement portion.

2. The machine tool system as described in claim 1, wherein, The control device further controls the movement of the workpiece along a centerline of the spindle assembly so that the workpiece is coaxially inserted with the spindle assembly when it is inserted into the spindle assembly.

3. The machine tool system as described in claim 1, wherein, The insertion condition is configured such that the measured value is not greater than a preset range, or the rate of change of the measured value is less than the preset range.

4. The machine tool system as described in claim 3, wherein, The insertion condition is that the measured value is not greater than the preset range and lasts for a preset time.

5. The machine tool system as described in claim 1, wherein, The receiving part can be one of a hole or a rod, and the mounting part can be the other of a hole or a rod.

6. The machine tool system as described in claim 1, wherein, The first joint can be either a concave part or a convex part, and the second joint can be either a concave part or a convex part.

7. The machine tool system as described in claim 1, wherein, The loading device is a robotic arm that includes a gripping assembly for gripping the workpiece and is rotatable about a rotation axis that is spaced apart from the center line.

8. The machine tool system as described in claim 7, wherein, The sensing device can be selectively installed on the spindle assembly, the clamping assembly, or a combination thereof.

9. The machine tool system as described in claim 1, wherein, The sensing device includes at least one sensor, which is a force sensor for sensing pressure or force, a piezoelectric sensor for sensing voltage, a capacitive sensor for sensing capacitance, or a piezoresistive sensor for sensing resistance.
