Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、工作機械、特にNC旋盤における装置及び加工方法に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来のNC旋盤では、回転可能なセンサアームに刃先位置計測用センサを装着した機構が採用されている。
【0003】
図12は従来のNC旋盤を示した全体構成図であり、NC装置19より刃先位置計測指令が出るとX軸ボールネジ12及びX軸モータ13が駆動し、タレット7に装着された工具6は移動してあらかじめ主軸中心位置に設定された刃先位置計測用センサ16に接触する。そして、電気信号がONとなりNC装置19に電気信号が伝達され移動を停止する。この時の位置をX軸位置検出用エンコーダ14にて検出し、NC装置19にて主軸中心位置からの工具オフセット量を演算する。この動作を加工前ごとに行い加工精度を維持している。また、刃先位置計測用センサ16はセンサアーム17に装着されており、センサアーム用モータ18により回転可能であり計測を行う時のみ機械内に自動で振り込まれる。なお、工具6は加工物1に応じて複数使用されるため、上述の刃先位置計測も複数の工具について行われる。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上述した従来のNC旋盤においては、加工中の切削熱、ビルトインモータ3の発熱等の外乱によりセンサアーム17が変位してしまい、そのため刃先位置計測用センサ16の位置があらかじめ設定してあった主軸中心位置から変位してしまう可能性があった。この変位は、刃先位置計測に誤差が生じて加工精度が劣化する原因となる。特に加工後の計測が困難な部分ではこの影響が大きくなる。
【0005】
また、刃先位置計測による加工前計測のみであるため、加工完了品が許容寸法内で加工されているか確認できず、加工不良製品を多数生産してしまう恐れがある。
【0006】
さらに、工具6の工具摩耗量を明確に認識する事ができないので、工具交換時期の予測が出来ない。
【0007】
この発明は上述した事情から成されたものであり、この発明の目的は、加工中の外乱により誤差を生じる事なく刃先の位置を計測し、加工後の製品の監視、工具磨耗量計測も可能な工作機械を提供する事にある。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために、本発明にかかる工作機械は、移動自在な位置計測用センサの検出部および工具の刃先の位置を検出する位置検出手段と、前記位置検出手段による検出結果を用いて主軸中心位置に対する刃先位置のオフセット量を得るべく、検出部および刃先を移動させる駆動手段と、指令寸法と、主軸に固定して回転させ前記工具で指令寸法に切削加工した基準物に前記検出部を接触させたときの該検出部の位置検出結果より、主軸中心位置からの検出部の距離を校正する手段と、主軸中心位置からの距離の校正された検出部を刃先位置計測用センサに接触させたときの該検出部の位置検出結果より、主軸中心位置からの刃先位置計測用センサの距離を校正する手段と、を有し、主軸中心位置からの距離の校正された前記刃先位置計測用センサに刃先を接触させたときの該刃先の位置検出結果より、主軸中心位置に対する刃先位置のオフセット量を演算することを特徴とする。
【0014】
以上の工作機械においては、主軸中心位置に対する刃先位置計測用センサの当接面の相対的な位置を検出し校正するようにしたので、加工中の外乱により刃先位置計測用センサが変位して発生する誤差をなくす事ができ、加工後に計測が困難な部分の精度も向上する。また、加工後の加工物の寸法計測も可能であり、加工後の製品の監視もできる。
【0015】
【発明の実施の形態】
図1は本発明に係る工作機械の一実施形態の全体構成図である。工具6はタレット7に装着されZ軸ボールネジ9及びZ軸モータ10によってZ軸方向に駆動し、その位置はZ軸位置検出用エンコーダ11により検出される。また、X軸ボールネジ12及びX軸モータ13によってX軸方向に駆動し、その位置はX軸位置検出用エンコーダ14によって検出されるとともに、X軸位置検出用リニアスケール15によって直線的な位置検出も行われている。なお、この直線的な位置検出手段はリニアスケールに限らずインダクトシンも考えられ、また、Z軸にも適用する事も可能である。また、検出部を先端に有しており、その検出部に当接した刃先位置計測用センサ16の位置を計測する位置計測用センサ5は、タレット7に装着されているので、工具6の駆動手段によって移動される。すなわち、Z軸ボールネジ9、Z軸モータ10、X軸ボールネジ12及びX軸モータ13で構成される工具6の駆動手段は、位置計測用センサ5の移動手段でもあり、Z軸位置検出用エンコーダ11、X軸位置検出用エンコーダ14及びX軸位置検出用リニアスケール15で構成される工具6の位置検出手段は、位置計測用センサ5の位置検出手段でもある。
【0016】
一方、刃先位置計測用センサ16は、センサアーム17に装着されセンサアーム用モータ18にて計測時にのみ工作機械内へ自動で振り込まれる。移動し当接した工具6の刃先のZ軸及びX軸方向位置が計測される。なお、このセンサアーム17の工作機械内への振り込みは手動により行う方法も考えられる。また、加工物1は主軸チャック2にて保持されビルトインモータ3にて回転しその回転角度は回転角度検出用エンコーダ4にて検出される。主軸チャック2は、位置計測用センサ校正用基準物20を装備している。NC装置19は、位置計測用センサ5の検出部を位置検出用センサ校正用基準物20に当接させることにより検出した主軸の位置に対する検出部の位置と、検出部を刃先位置計測用センサ16へ当接させることにより検出した検出部の位置と、に基づいて刃先位置計測用センサ16の位置を求める校正手段である。つまり、NC装置19は、駆動手段で移動した位置計測用センサ5を位置検出用センサ校正用基準物20に当接させることにより位置検出用センサ校正用基準物20のZ軸及びX軸方向の位置を計測し、NC装置19より位置計測用センサ5自身の位置の校正を行う。また、この校正された位置計測用センサ5を駆動手段で移動させ、刃先位置計測用センサ16を当接する事により刃先位置計測用センサ16のZ軸及びX軸方向の位置を計測し、刃先位置計測用センサ16の位置の校正を行う。
【0017】
また、タレット7に工具摩耗量を計測するための基準面であって刃先位置計測用センサ16で計測可能な工具摩耗量計測用共通基準面22を有する工具磨耗量計測手段としての工具摩耗量計測部を装備した場合、NC装置19は、加工前に工具摩耗量計測用共通基準面22及び工具6の刃先を駆動手段で移動させ、刃先位置計測用センサ16に当接させることにより工具摩耗量計測用共通基準面22のZ軸及びX軸方向の位置と工具6の刃先のZ軸及びX軸方向の位置を計測し記憶しておく。そして、加工後に再度工具摩耗量計測用共通基準面22及び工具6の刃先を駆動手段で移動させ、刃先位置計測用センサ16に当接させることにより工具摩耗量計測用共通基準面22のZ軸及びX軸方向の位置と工具6の刃先のZ軸及びX軸方向の位置を計測する。NC装置19は、これらの計測値より工具摩耗量を求める。なお、刃先位置計測用センサ16及び位置計測用センサ5の検出方法は接触式に限らず非接触式のものも考えられる。また接触式のものでもON、OFF検出だけでなく、アナログ検出でセンサの接触後の移動距離も検出できるものであれば更に精度が良くなる。
【0018】
図2は本実施の形態における工作機械の要部の位置関係を示した図である。刃先位置計測用センサ16の主軸中心位置からの距離X16は、加工を行うとともに熱等の外乱の影響でX16E変位する。また、位置計測用センサ5及び工具6を備えたタレット7の中心位置と主軸中心位置の距離X7も同様にX7E変位する。さらに、加工が進むにつれて工具摩耗により工具6のタレット7の中心位置からの距離X6もX6E変位する。
【0019】
図3から図5はタレット7に装着された位置計測用センサ5の位置の校正の方法を説明するために用いる図である。図3は参考例としての主軸チャック把握型基準物20aを用いた位置計測用センサ5の位置の校正の方法を説明するために用いる図である。図3左図のように既知の寸法である主軸チャック把握型基準物20aを主軸チャック2で保持し、この主軸チャック把握型基準物20aに、タレット7に装着された位置計測用センサ5を駆動手段で移動させ接触させる。この接触時のON信号がNC装置19に伝達されると移動を停止する。この時の位置はX軸位置検出用エンコーダ14及びX軸位置検出用リニアスケール15にて検出される。同様に図3中央図のようにもう一端の位置も計測してNC装置19より主軸チャック把握型基準物20aの寸法が求められる。そして、主軸チャック把握型基準物20aの寸法は既知であるので、位置計測用センサ5の計測結果より位置計測用センサ5を装着したタレット7の主軸中心位置からの距離X7が校正される。また、主軸チャック把握型基準物20aを主軸チャック2で保持する際のチャッキング誤差は、ビルトインモータ3を任意の角度回転させその角度を回転角度検出用エンコーダ4にて検出し、前記と同様に主軸チャック把握型基準物20aの寸法を計測する動作を繰返し行い、その計測値を平均する事により解消する。また、図3ではX軸方向について説明したがZ軸方向についても同様である。なお、主軸チャック把握型基準物20aの既知の寸法部分は外径に限らず内径でもよい。
【0020】
図4は参考例としての主軸チャック内蔵型基準物20bを用いた位置計測用センサ5の位置の校正の方法を説明するために用いる図である。図4左図のように既知の寸法である主軸チャック内蔵型基準物20bを主軸チャック2に内蔵し、図4中央図のようにこの主軸チャック内蔵型基準物20bに、タレット7に装着された位置計測用センサ5を駆動手段で図4左図の状態よりX+方向に移動させ、主軸チャック内蔵型基準物20bに接触させる。この接触時のON信号がNC装置19に伝達されると移動を停止する。この時の位置はX軸位置検出用エンコーダ14及びX軸位置検出用リニアスケール15にて検出される。続いて、図4右図のように駆動手段でX−方向に移動させ、主軸チャック内蔵型基準物20bに再度接触させる。この接触時のON信号がNC装置19に伝達されると再度移動を停止する。この2度の接触間の移動距離をX軸位置検出用エンコーダ14及びX軸位置検出用リニアスケール15にて検出され、NC装置19により主軸チャック内蔵型基準物20bの寸法が求められる。そして、主軸チャック内蔵型基準物20bの寸法は既知であるので、位置計測用センサ5の計測結果より位置計測用センサ5を装着したタレット7の主軸中心位置からの距離X7が校正される。また、図4ではX軸方向について説明したがZ軸方向についても同様である。なお、主軸チャック内蔵型基準物20bの既知の寸法部分は内径に限らず外径でもよい。
【0021】
図5は本実施の形態の切削可能型基準物20cを用いた位置計測用センサ5の位置の校正の方法を説明するために用いる図である。図5左図のように切削可能型基準物20cを主軸チャック2に装着し、ビルトインモータ3にて主軸チャック2を回転させ、タレット7に装着された工具6を駆動手段で移動させ、切削可能型基準物20cを任意の指令寸法に加工する。続いて、図5中央図のように加工された切削可能型基準物20cに、タレット7に装着された位置計測用センサ5を駆動手段で図5右図のように移動させ接触させる。この接触時のON信号がNC装置19に伝達されると移動を停止する。この時の位置はX軸位置検出用エンコーダ14及びX軸位置検出用リニアスケール15にて検出される。そして、切削可能型基準物20cは任意の指令寸法に加工されているので指令寸法と位置計測用センサ5の計測結果より位置計測用センサ5を装着したタレット7の主軸中心位置からの距離X7が校正される。また、図5ではX軸方向について説明したがZ軸方向についても同様である。なお、切削可能型基準物20cの代わりに加工物1を計測する方法も考えられる。
【0022】
図6は本実施の形態の刃先位置計測用センサ16の位置の校正の方法を説明するために用いる図である。前記図5のように位置を校正され、タレット7に装着された位置計測用センサ5を駆動手段にて図6左図の状態から図6右図のように移動させ刃先位置計測用センサ16に接触させる。この接触の検知は、位置計測用センサ5のON信号と刃先位置計測用センサ16のON信号のOR論理回路となっており、位置計測用センサ5か刃先位置計測用センサ16のどちらかの電気信号がNC装置19に伝達されると移動を停止する。この時の位置はX軸位置検出用エンコーダ14及びX軸位置検出用リニアスケール15にて検出される。そして、NC装置19より刃先位置計測用センサ16の主軸中心位置からの距離X16が校正される。また、図6ではX軸方向について説明したがZ軸方向についても同様である。なお、センサの接触の検知の方法は、上記の方法以外にもどちらかに接触するとセンサの信号が必ず先に出る構造を持つものも考えられる。
【0023】
そして、加工前にタレット7に装着された工具6を駆動手段で移動させ刃先位置計測用センサ16に接触させる。この接触時のON信号がNC装置19に伝達されると移動を停止する。この時の位置X6前はX軸位置検出用エンコーダ14及びX軸位置検出用リニアスケール15にて検出され、NC装置19に記憶される。続いて、加工後に図3から図6までの方法で刃先位置計測用センサ16の主軸中心位置からの距離X16を校正し、再度タレット7に装着された工具6を駆動手段で移動させ刃先位置計測用センサ16に接触させる。この接触時のON信号がNC装置19に伝達されると移動を停止する。この時の位置X6後はX軸位置検出用エンコーダ14及びX軸位置検出用リニアスケール15にて検出され、先にNC装置19に記憶しておいた加工前の工具6の位置X6前との差より工具6の工具摩耗量が求められる。なお、上記ではX軸方向について説明したがZ軸方向についても同様である。
【0024】
図7及び図8はタレット7に装着された工具6の工具摩耗量計測を刃先位置計測用センサ16の主軸中心位置からの距離X16を校正する事なく行う参考例としての方法を説明するために用いる図である。図7は工具近傍工具位置基準面21を用いた参考例としての工具摩耗量計測の方法を説明するために用いる図である。図7左図のように加工前にタレット7に装着された工具近傍工具位置基準面21を駆動手段で移動させ刃先位置計測用センサ16に接触させる。この接触時のON信号がNC装置19に伝達されると移動を停止する。この時の位置X21前はX軸位置検出用エンコーダ14及びX軸位置検出用リニアスケール15にて検出される。
【0025】
続いて、図7右図のようにタレット7に装着された工具6を同様に駆動手段で移動させ刃先位置計測用センサ16に接触させる。この接触時のON信号がNC装置19に伝達されると移動を停止する。この時の位置X6前はX軸位置検出用エンコーダ14及びX軸位置検出用リニアスケール15にて検出される。そして、工具近傍工具位置基準面21の位置X21前と工具6の位置X6前の差をNC装置19に記憶しておく。続いて、加工後に再度タレット7に装着された工具近傍工具位置基準面21を駆動手段で移動させ刃先位置計測用センサ16に接触させる。この接触時のON信号がNC装置19に伝達されると移動を停止する。この時の位置X21後はX軸位置検出用エンコーダ14及びX軸位置検出用リニアスケール15にて検出される。
【0026】
続いて、タレット7に装着された工具6を同様に駆動手段で移動させ刃先位置計測用センサ16に接触させる。この接触時のON信号がNC装置19に伝達されると移動を停止する。この時の位置X6後はX軸位置検出用エンコーダ14及びX軸位置検出用リニアスケール15にて検出される。そして、工具近傍工具位置基準面21の位置X21後と工具6の位置X6後の差と先にNC装置19に記憶しておいた加工前の工具近傍工具位置基準面21の位置X21前と工具6の位置X6前の差より工具6の工具摩耗量を求める。なお、工具摩耗量の算出方法については、加工前の工具近傍工具位置基準面21の位置X21前と加工後の工具近傍工具位置基準面21の位置X21後の差と、加工前の工具6の位置X6前と加工後の工具6の位置X6後の差より算出する方法も考えられる。また、図6ではX軸方向について説明したがZ軸方向についても同様である。
【0027】
図8は工具摩耗量計測用共通基準面22による参考例としての工具摩耗量計測の方法を説明するために用いる図である。上述図7の方法と同様に図8左図のようにタレット7に装着された工具摩耗量計測用共通基準面22を駆動手段で移動させ刃先位置計測用センサ16に接触させる。この接触時のON信号がNC装置19に伝達されると移動を停止する。この時の位置X22前は、X軸位置検出用エンコーダ14及びX軸位置検出用リニアスケール15にて検出される。続いて、図8中央図のようにタレット7に装着された工具6を同様に駆動手段で移動させ刃先位置計測用センサ16に接触させる。この接触時のON信号がNC装置19に伝達されると移動を停止する。この時の位置X6前はX軸位置検出用エンコーダ14及びX軸位置検出用リニアスケール15にて検出される。そして、工具摩耗量計測用共通基準面22の位置X22前と工具6の位置X6前の差をNC装置19に記憶しておく。
【0028】
続いて、加工後に再度タレット7に装着された工具摩耗量計測用共通基準面22を駆動手段で移動させ刃先位置計測用センサ16に接触させる。この接触時のON信号がNC装置19に伝達されると移動を停止する。この時の位置X22後はX軸位置検出用エンコーダ14及びX軸位置検出用リニアスケール15にて検出される。続いて、タレット7に装着された工具6を同様に駆動手段で移動させ刃先位置計測用センサ16に接触させる。この接触時のON信号がNC装置19に伝達されると移動を停止する。この時の位置X6後はX軸位置検出用エンコーダ14及びX軸位置検出用リニアスケール15にて検出される。そして、工具摩耗量計測用共通基準面22の位置X22後と工具6の位置X6後の差と先にNC装置19に記憶しておいた加工前の工具摩耗量計測用共通基準面22の位置X22前と工具6の位置X6前の差より工具6の工具摩耗量を求める。なお、工具摩耗量の算出方法については、加工前の工具摩耗量計測用共通基準面22の位置X22前と加工後の工具摩耗量計測用共通基準面22の位置X22後の差と、加工前の工具6の位置X6前と加工後の工具6の位置X6後の差より算出する方法も考えられる。
【0029】
続いて、タレット7を旋回させて別の工具6aを割り出し、この工具6aに関しても同様に刃先位置計測用センサ16に接触させその位置を検出し工具摩耗量を求める。この方法を順次行いすべての工具について工具摩耗量計測を行う。なお、タレット7の旋回による位置決め誤差は工具摩耗量による誤差X6Eに比較して小さいものとし、工具摩耗量計測用共通基準面22は各工具共通とした。また、図6ではX軸方向について説明したがZ軸方向についても同様である。そして、工具摩耗量計測用共通基準面22の装着位置はタレット7に限らず加工及び工具6の刃先位置計測の邪魔にならない場所でかつ刃先位置計測用センサ16で計測可能な位置であれば任意の場所でよい。
【0030】
図9は参考例としての加工後計測の方法を説明するために用いる図である。図9左図のように主軸チャック2で保持された加工後の加工物1にタレット7に装着された位置計測用センサ5を駆動手段で移動させ接触させる。この接触時のON信号はNC装置19に伝達され停止し、この時の位置はX軸位置検出用エンコーダ14及びX軸位置検出用リニアスケール15にて検出される。同様に図9右図のようにもう一端の位置も計測してNC装置19より加工後の加工物1の寸法が求められる。また、図9ではX軸方向について説明したがZ軸方向についても同様である。なお、加工後の加工物1の寸法計測部分は外径に限らず内径でもよい。
【0031】
続いて、図10を用いて本実施の形態のNC旋盤における加工時の動作状況について説明する。図10は本実施の形態を用いたNC旋盤での加工時の動作状況を示すフローチャートである。加工物1が初品であるときは、後述する加工前計測を行い工具オフセット量をNC装置19にて演算し補正する。続いて加工を開始し、あらかじめNC装置19に入力しておいた計測挿入個数に到達するとNC装置19より加工後計測指令が出され、先に図9を用いて説明したように加工物1の計測を行う。そして、計測寸法があらかじめNC装置19に入力しておいた許容寸法範囲外であるときは直ちに加工を停止し、NC装置19にアラーム表示して不良品を多数加工する事がないようにしてある。許容寸法範囲内であるときは、続いて先に図7及び図8で説明した方法で工具摩耗量計測を行う。そして、計測した工具摩耗量があらかじめNC装置19に入力しておいた許容工具摩耗量未満であるときには引き続き加工を行い、許容工具摩耗量以上であるときには、工具交換を行い、初品加工の際と同様に加工前計測を行ってから加工を再開する。なお、加工後計測及び工具摩耗量計測は別々に任意の個数加工後に挿入することができ、挿入も加工個数ではなく加工時間で決める方法も考えられる。
【0032】
図11は本実施の形態の加工前計測の動作状況を示すブロック図である。NC装置19より加工前計測指令が出されると、先に図5を説明したように主軸チャック2に把持されている主軸計測用センサ校正用基準物20を計測し、タレット7に装着した位置計測用センサ5の位置を校正する。続いて先に、図6を用いて説明したように位置を校正した位置計測用センサ5で刃先位置計測用センサ16の位置を計測し位置を校正する。そして、工具6を刃先位置計測用センサ16に接触させ位置を計測し、NC装置19にて工具オフセット量を演算し加工前計測が終了する。
【0033】
なお、加工前計測、加工後計測及び工具摩耗量計測の方法は、加工物1の必要精度及び加工時間限度等に応じて選択可能であり、計測挿入時期についても個別に設定可能である。また、この実施の形態はNC旋盤に限らず他の工作機械にも適用できる。
【0034】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明にかかる工作機械によれば、刃先位置計測用センサの主軸中心位置に対する相対的な位置を計測し校正することができるので、加工中の熱等の外乱により発生する誤差をなくすことができ、加工後の計測が困難な部分の精度も向上する。
【0035】
また、加工後の加工物の寸法計測も可能であり、加工後の製品の監視もできる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus and a processing method for a machine tool, particularly an NC lathe.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In a conventional NC lathe, a mechanism in which a sensor for measuring the position of a blade edge is mounted on a rotatable sensor arm is employed.
[0003]
FIG. 12 is an overall configuration diagram showing a conventional NC lathe. When a cutting edge position measurement command is issued from the NC device 19, the X-axis ball screw 12 and the X-axis motor 13 are driven, and the tool 6 mounted on the turret 7 moves. Then, it comes into contact with the blade edge position measuring sensor 16 preset at the spindle center position. Then, the electric signal is turned ON, and the electric signal is transmitted to the NC device 19 to stop the movement. The position at this time is detected by the encoder 14 for X-axis position detection, and the NC device 19 calculates the tool offset amount from the center position of the spindle. This operation is performed before each processing to maintain the processing accuracy. The sensor 16 for measuring the position of the cutting edge is mounted on a sensor arm 17 and can be rotated by a motor 18 for the sensor arm, and is automatically transferred into the machine only when measurement is performed. Since a plurality of tools 6 are used in accordance with the workpiece 1, the above-described blade position measurement is also performed on a plurality of tools.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above-mentioned conventional NC lathe, the sensor arm 17 is displaced due to disturbances such as cutting heat during processing and heat generation of the built-in motor 3, so that the position of the blade position measuring sensor 16 is preset. There is a possibility that the main shaft will be displaced from the center position. This displacement causes an error in the measurement of the position of the cutting edge, and causes the machining accuracy to deteriorate. In particular, this effect is large in a portion where measurement after processing is difficult.
[0005]
Further, since only the pre-processing measurement based on the edge position measurement is performed, it is not possible to confirm whether the processed product is processed within the allowable dimension, and there is a possibility that a large number of defective products will be produced.
[0006]

In addition, since the position measuring sensor 5 which has a detecting portion at the tip and measures the position of the blade position measuring sensor 16 in contact with the detecting portion is mounted on the turret 7, the tool 6 It is moved by the driving means. That is, the driving means of the tool 6 composed of the Z-axis ball screw 9, the Z-axis motor 10, the X-axis ball screw 12, and the X-axis motor 13 is also a moving means of the position measuring sensor 5, and the Z-axis position detecting encoder 11 The X-axis position detection encoder 14 and the X-axis position detection linear scale 15 constitute a position detection unit of the tool 6, which is also a position detection unit of the position measurement sensor 5.
[0016]
On the other hand, the blade position measuring sensor 16 is mounted on the sensor arm 17 and is automatically transferred into the machine tool only at the time of measurement by the motor 18 for the sensor arm. The Z-axis and X-axis positions of the cutting edge of the tool 6 that has moved and contacted are measured. Note that a method of manually transferring the sensor arm 17 into the machine tool may be considered.
