Coolant supply device and supply method

摘要

A coolant supply device and supply method that can appropriately control the spraying of coolant using a single parameter. A pump (101) supplies coolant to a tool (D), and a measurement device (22) measures the discharge pressure of the pump (101). A control device (50) has a function for determining, from the rotation rate of the pump (101), the coolant flow path diameter for the tool (D) and the target value for the pump discharge pressure (target pressure) when the tool (D) is drilling.

主权项

1. A coolant supply device comprising:
a pump that supplies a coolant to a tool; a measurement device that measures a discharge pressure of the pump; and a control device, wherein the control device has a function for determining a pump discharge flow rate by a rotation rate of the pump and a pump discharge pressure measured by a pump discharge pressure measurement device, a function for determining a coolant flow path diameter of the tool by the determined pump discharge flow rate, a function for determining a target value of a pump discharge pressure at a time of boring performed by the tool, by the determined coolant flow path diameter of the tool, a function for increasing or decreasing the rotation rate of the pump by comparing the target value of the determined pump discharge pressure with a measurement value measured by a pump discharge pressure measurement device, and a function for determining whether or not boring by the tool is completed, based on the measured pump discharge pressure, wherein the control device has a function for determining a coolant flow path diameter of the tool and a target value of a pump discharge pressure at a time of boring performed by the tool, after no-load running of the tool is completed, at a stage prior to boring performed on a work by the tool.
