Control device of machine tool which estimates overheating of motor

摘要

A control device of a machine tool which filters possible continued machining time data estimated from a value of current of a motor to thereby enable an accurate grasp of the time regardless of fluctuation of the load, that is, a control device of a machine tool which has a motor which drives a spindle, which control device of a machine tool can use a value of current of the motor, an overheat temperature of the motor, and a temperature of the motor to estimate the time until reaching the overheat temperature when the current operating current continues to be run through the motor, filter the estimated value of time by a filter to display a possible continued processing time, change a filter time constant based on either of a value of current and current command value, and accurately display the possible continued processing time even if the load fluctuates.

主权项

1. A control device of a machine tool comprising:
a motor which drives a spindle, a current detection device which detects a value of current of said motor, a storage device in which an overheat temperature which is prescribed for said motor is stored, a temperature detection device which detects a temperature of said motor, a time estimation device which uses a temperature which is detected by said temperature detection device and said overheat temperature to estimate a time from a current point of time to when said motor reaches said overheat temperature in the case where a current which said current detection device detects continues to flow through said motor, a filter which receives as an input, the value of time which said time estimation device estimates, a time constant changing device which changes a filter time constant in said filter in accordance with either of a value of current and a current command value which is given when controlling the motor, and a display device which displays a value of time which said filter outputs, wherein time constant changing device decreases said filter time constant when either of said value of current or said current command value is a predetermined threshold value or more and increases said filter time constant when it is less than the predetermined threshold value.
