DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a machining apparatus which facilitates operation by an operator by setting an operation area of a tool, and more particularly to a machining method suitable for performing a grinding process.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when an operator manually performs grinding in a radial direction of a work while feeding a grindstone table, there are mainly the following two cases. The first case is where high dimensional accuracy is required. In such a case, FIG.
As shown in (a), the workpiece W is automatically ground based on the NC data at the outer diameter obtained by adding the oversize amount d to the finished diameter D of the work W, and then manually ground to the finished diameter. In this case, after finishing the automatic grinding up to the oversize amount d, the outer diameter of the work W is measured. The measurement result allows the operator to know how much grinding will be required to reach the finished diameter, so the operator can check the remaining grinding amount by looking at the scale attached to the handle or the coordinate value displayed on the operation panel. While grinding.

There is a method of inputting the remaining grinding amount as a drive-in amount and automatically grinding the drive-in amount. However, due to thermal displacement, a change in sharpness of a grinding wheel, etc., the drive-in amount is removed by the automatic grinding. This method cannot satisfy a high degree of accuracy, and there is a situation in which the dimensional accuracy is maintained by a skilled technique including the above manual operation. In the second case, the automatic grinding based on the NC data is not performed, and the operator manually sends the grindstone base by operating the handle from the beginning to the end of the grinding to perform the grinding. This method
Normally, the black scale portion of the work (the surface portion of the work before being processed) is removed by manual grinding until the outer diameter of the work can be measured by the measuring device, and then the outer surface of the work is measured by the measuring device. Measure the diameter dimension. With this measurement, the grindstone head is manually moved in the radial direction of the work to remove the difference between the current outer diameter of the work and a desired size (for example, a finished diameter). At this time, the operator determines whether the workpiece has reached the required outer diameter by looking at the scale attached to the handle or the coordinate value displayed on the operation panel.

[0004]

In either of the two cases described above, a manual operation using a handle is performed to finally obtain a desired size. In the case of performing such a manual operation, it is not sufficient to simply perform the processing while checking the scale value attached to the handle or the coordinate value displayed on the operation panel whether or not the desired outer diameter has been reached. That is, the feed speed of the grinding wheel head during manual grinding becomes a problem. The propriety of the feed speed of the grindstone head is determined by the operator confirming the appearance of sparks generated on the workpiece during grinding. For this reason, the operator has to perform manual grinding while checking both the work and the coordinate value displayed on the scale attached to the handle or the operation panel, and the work is very troublesome.

[0005] For this reason, when an unskilled worker performs the above-mentioned operation, there is a problem that a problem due to an excessive cut is erroneously generated or a long time is required. The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, even if not a skilled worker,
An object of the present invention is to provide a processing method capable of performing high-precision manual processing in a short time.

[0006]

According to the present invention, there is provided a tool moving means for moving a grindstone relative to a cylindrical workpiece based on a movement command. Numerical control device gives a movement command to the tool moving means based on a manual feed operation and an NC program by an operator to move the grindstone relative to the work, and the outer circumference or end face of the work In the grinding method of a numerically controlled cylindrical grinder for machining, the numerical control device inputs a finishing diameter of the work from an NC program stored in advance, so as not to advance the grindstone relatively to the work. A range in a direction away from the workpiece with the finishing diameter as a boundary is set as an operation area of the grinding stone, and a desired machining allowance is set more than the finishing diameter. The operating area is corrected by an oversize amount set by an operator so as to remain in a direction in which the grindstone retreats relatively to the workpiece, and then the tool movement is performed based on a grinding cycle set in advance in an NC program. Automatic grinding is performed by giving a movement command to the means, and in the case of the automatic grinding, when it is determined that the grinding wheel exceeds the operation area corrected by the oversize amount, the grinding wheel is further advanced with respect to the workpiece. Even when a movement command is given, the relative movement of the grindstone with respect to the work by the tool moving means is stopped to grind the work area, and then the work is performed until the end button is pressed by the workman. Each time the diameter is measured and the drive-in amount is input, the grinding wheel warps the operating area previously corrected by this drive-in amount. The tool is moved in the direction of forward movement relative to the operation panel, and a movement command is given by manual feed grinding or automatic grinding by operating the handle of the operation panel to operate the tool moving means. This is a grinding method in which grinding is repeatedly performed.

Further, the method according to the present invention has a tool moving means for moving the grindstone relative to the cylindrical work based on the movement command, and a numerical value based on a manual feed operation by an operator and an NC program. In a grinding method of a cylindrical grinding machine, wherein a control device gives a movement command to the tool moving means to move the grindstone relatively to the work to machine an outer periphery or an end surface of the work, The apparatus removes the black scale portion of the work before the processing is performed by the tool moving means being operated by a manual feed operation by an operator, and when the black scale portion is removed, the grindstone comes into contact with the work. When the operator presses the grinding start input button in a state in which the workpiece is removed, or the operator measures the workpiece diameter after the black scale is removed and inputs the workpiece diameter from the operation panel. Enter a grinding start diameter based on, based on the grinding start diameter as a boundary to set the range of the direction away from the work so as not to advance the grindstone relatively to the work as an operation area of the grindstone, afterwards,
Until the end button is pressed by the operator, each time the operator measures the work diameter and inputs the drive amount, the grindstone advances relative to the work in the previously corrected operation area by the drive amount. In the method of performing the grinding operation up to the operation area corrected by the driving amount by operating the tool moving means by giving a movement command by manual feed grinding or automatic grinding by operating the handle of the operation panel. is there.

[0008]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a finishing position is input, and an operating area serving as a reference is set based on the finishing position. Then, by entering the oversize amount,
The operation area is reset based on the position obtained by adding the oversize amount to the finishing position. In addition to the re-set operation area, the operation area is corrected in a direction in which the tool is moved forward relative to the workpiece based on the amount of drive-in. As described above, the operation area is corrected based on the finishing position, the oversize amount, and the drive-in amount, so that the operation area can be appropriately expanded as the processing proceeds.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, a reference dimension is input, and an operation area serving as a reference is set based on the reference dimension. Then, a drive-in amount is input, and the operating area is corrected in a direction in which the tool is advanced relative to the workpiece by the drive-in amount. When the operation area is corrected in this manner, it becomes impossible for the operator to manually advance the tool relative to the workpiece by more than the driving amount. The correction of the operation area based on the overrun amount is performed every time the overrun amount is input.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a bed on which a table 11 is guided and supported so as to be movable in a horizontal direction (Z direction). A headstock 13 and a tailstock 14 are installed on the table 11 so as to face each other. The headstock 13 is provided with a chuck 13a for holding one end of the work W, and A center 14a that supports the end at the center is provided. Headstock 13 and tailstock 1
The work W is supported by both ends so that the rotation axis of the work W is parallel to the horizontal movement direction of the table 11 by the work 4, and the work W is rotated by the headstock 13.

On the bed 10, a grindstone table 15 is guided and supported in a horizontal direction (X direction) orthogonal to the moving direction of the table 10, and a grindstone 16 (tool) is parallel to the moving direction of the table 11 on the grindstone table 15. It is rotatably supported around a major axis. The grindstone 16 is driven to rotate by a grindstone drive motor 17 via a pulley and a belt (not shown). The above-described movement of the table 11 is performed by a servomotor 21 provided on the bed 10,
The movement of 5 is performed by a servomotor 22 provided on the bed 10. Encoders 61 and 62 are attached to the servomotors 21 and 22, respectively.

Next, the numerical controller 40 will be described.
The numerical control device 40 includes a central processing unit (CPU) 45, a memory 44, and interfaces 46 and 47. An operation panel 50 for inputting control parameters necessary for NC control and an NC program is provided on the interface 46.
Is connected. The operation panel 50 is provided with a display 51 and a keyboard 52 having a start button and various input buttons to be described later, and a handle 53 for manually feeding the grindstone table 15. This handle 53
Is connected to a pulse generator in the operation panel 50 to generate a pulse corresponding to the rotation speed of the handle 53. The interface 47 is connected to servo motor drive circuits (DU) 41 and 42. The servo motor driving circuits 41 and 42 are circuits for driving the servo motors 21 and 22 by inputting a command from the central processing unit 45. The current positions of the table 11 and the grindstone table 15 detected by the encoders 61 and 62 are fed back to the servo motor drive circuits 41 and 42. The memory 44 is provided with a parameter area and an NC program area in which the control parameters and the NC program input from the operation panel 50 are stored, respectively, and stores each program described later.

The operation of this embodiment will be described based on the above configuration. In this embodiment, the basic grinding wheel base 1 is used so that the worker can easily perform the work of feeding the grinding wheel base 15.
After setting the operation area No. 5, only the area in which the grindstone head 15 is to be moved is set as the drive-in amount T to correct the operation area and set an appropriate operation area.

There are two cases where the setting and updating of the operation area of this embodiment are necessary as described in the description of the prior art. The first case is a case where a high degree of dimensional accuracy is required. After the automatic grinding based on the NC program to the outer diameter dimension obtained by adding the oversize amount d to the finish diameter (finish position) D of the work W, The oversize amount d is manually ground. In the second case, after the black scale portion of the workpiece is removed by manual grinding, the outer diameter is measured, and the difference between the current outer diameter of the workpiece and the desired dimension is manually ground.

In setting the operation area, dimensions serving as indices are a reference dimension, an oversize amount d, and a drive-in amount T. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the reference dimension is the finishing diameter D in the first case, and the grinding start diameter L in the second case (the dimensions in FIGS. 2 and 3 are: Exaggerated for explanation.). The finishing diameter D is the dimension of the target work W after processing,
The distance is set as the distance from the work center 400. Also,
The grinding start diameter L is the position of the grindstone table 15 when the grindstone 16 is brought into contact with the surface of the work W after the black scale portion of the work is removed by manual grinding as shown in FIG. It is set as the distance from the work center 400 to the tip of the grindstone 16. As described above, the coordinates of the respective dimensions are basically set based on the work center 400, but the method of setting the coordinates is not particularly limited to the method based on the work center. For example, contrary to the present embodiment, the coordinates may be set in a direction toward the center of the work, and the coordinates may be set based on a fixed position.

The oversize amount d is an amount set when performing the drive-in grinding which requires high dimensional accuracy in the first case, and indicates the distance from the finish diameter D. When grinding by drive-in grinding, finish diameter D
The machining is temporarily interrupted while the oversize amount d remains, and the outer diameter of the work W is measured. Then, the driving amount T is set based on the remaining grinding amount up to the finishing diameter D. Is manually processed to a desired finish diameter. The drive-in amount T indicates a distance that needs to be ground from a position where the oversize amount d is added to the finish diameter D. However, this driving amount T is set not only at the time of driving grinding as the first case, but also at the second case as described later.

Next, the operation for setting the above-mentioned operation area will be described separately for the first case and the second case.
However, actually, the first case and the second case are executed based on the same program, but are described separately here for easy understanding. First, the first case will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

When a program for performing a grinding process is executed in step 100, a reference dimension is input in step 102. At this time, in the first case, the finishing diameter D is input from an NC program stored in advance. In step 104, step 1
An operation area is set with the finishing diameter D input at 02 as a boundary. That is, since the position of the grindstone base 15 is controlled based on the diameter of the grindstone 16 with the tip of the grindstone 16 as a reference, an area is set so that the tip of the grindstone 16 cannot enter the reference dimension. Therefore, the finishing diameter D shown in FIG.
Above this is the operation area (1-1) of the grinding wheel head 15.

Next, at step 106, the above-mentioned oversize amount d is input. Then, in step 108, the operation area is reset based on the oversize amount d and the finishing diameter D input in step 102. That is, after the operation area (1-2) is set with the boundary of D + d obtained by adding the oversize amount d to the finish diameter D, the process proceeds to step 110.

In step 110, grinding is performed by automatic grinding up to the diameter of the currently set oversize amount d. During the automatic grinding here, processing is performed according to a grinding cycle set in advance by the NC program. As a result, the workpiece W has an outer diameter of D + d.
Thus, even during automatic grinding, the operation area (1-2)
Is set, even if an abnormality occurs in the movement of the grindstone table 15, it is possible to prevent erroneous machining to be performed up to the outer diameter D + d.

When the automatic grinding in step 110 is completed, the processing is temporarily interrupted. Then, the worker measures the diameter of the work W (step 112). From this measurement, it is determined how much later the finishing diameter D has to be machined. That is, by automatic grinding,
Machining should have been completed with the oversize d remaining, but the distance to the finish diameter D is actually equal to the oversize d due to factors such as thermal displacement and deflection of the work W. do not do. For this reason, the operator inputs a key from the operation panel 50 with the next grinding amount as the drive-in amount T.

In step 114, the amount of overrun T keyed by the operator is input, and in step 116, a new operation area is set based on the amount of overrun T. That is, in step 108, since the operation area is set at the boundary of D + d by the finishing diameter D and the oversize amount d, the operation area is set at the boundary of D + d−T obtained by subtracting the drive-in amount T from D + d. Thus, only the portion above D + d-T shown in FIG. 2B becomes the operation region (1-3).

In step 118, it is determined whether the processing up to the set driving amount T is performed automatically or manually. In the case of manual grinding which is a main part of this embodiment, (YE
S), proceed to step 120. In the case of automatic grinding with a predetermined grinding cycle, the process proceeds to step 126. At this time, when each grinding is started by the start button, the drive-in amount T input in step 114 is reset. In the case of manual grinding in step 120, the operator can easily perform grinding based on the operation area (1-3) as described later. Step 12
6 is not directly related to the present embodiment and will not be described in detail.
Even if an abnormality occurs in the movement of the grindstone table 15, erroneous machining can be prevented.

This step 120 or step 126
When the grinding in the step is completed, the processing is temporarily stopped. Then, the diameter of the work W is measured again by the operator (step 122). From this measurement, it is determined how much later the finishing diameter D has to be machined. When it is determined from the measurement result that the processing is completed up to the finish diameter D, the operator presses the end button. Also,
If it is determined that the machining still needs to be performed, the rush amount T that has been reset in step 118 is set again.
And ).

That is, in step 124, it is determined whether or not the operator has pressed the grinding end button. If the end button has been pressed (YES), step 128
And terminate the grinding program. If a program is set to continuously grind another portion of the same workpiece W, the process may return to step 100 in order to process the next grinding portion. On the other hand, if the end button has not been pressed (NO) and the grinding is performed again, the process returns to step 114.

As described above, in step 124, if the grinding is continued, the steps after step 114 are repeated. In step 114, since the run-in amount T 'has been reset, this is input, and the
The drive-in amount T ′ is further subtracted from the operation area set in the above. That is, since the previous operation area is D + d-T,
The updated operation area (1-4) becomes D + dTTT ′. Such setting and updating of the drive-in amount T can be performed until the end button is pressed, and processing for the drive-in amount T 'is performed again.

The setting of T ', which is the resetting of the drive-in amount T in step 114, is set based on the previous operation area. However, in some cases,
The first operation area may be set as a reference. In this case, the value of T is sequentially updated for D + d-T in the above-described operation area. As described above, the setting of the operation area in this embodiment expands the operation area by sequentially setting and updating the drive-in amount T as the grinding progresses.

Next, the second case will be described with reference to the flow charts shown in FIGS. As described above, the programs shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 are actually the same programs. When a program for performing a grinding process is executed in step 200, first,
In step 202, the black scale portion which is the surface portion of the work W is removed by manual grinding. This black skin is
This is because the outer diameter of the work W cannot be accurately measured because the work W is not processed at all. Then, in step 204, the grinding start diameter L is input as a reference dimension. The input of the grinding start diameter L is performed by directly contacting the grindstone 16 with the work W in a state where the black scale is removed as described above, and pressing the grinding start diameter input button. There is a method of measuring the diameter and inputting it from the operation panel 50. The grinding start diameter L corresponds to the sum of the finishing diameter D and the oversize amount d in the first case.

In step 206, an operation area is set with the grinding start diameter L input in step 204 as a boundary. Accordingly, the operation area (2-1) of the grinding wheel head 15 is above the grinding start diameter L in FIG. This grinding start diameter L
Is completed, the operator measures the diameter of the work W (step 208). With this measurement,
It is determined how much later processing must be performed up to the finishing diameter D. As a result, the operator performs a key input from the operation panel 50 with the next grinding amount as the drive-in amount T.

In step 210, the amount of overrun T keyed by the operator is input, and in step 212, a new operation area is set based on the amount of overrun T. Step 210 and subsequent steps are substantially the same as step 114 and subsequent steps in the flowchart in FIG. 4 described above, and therefore only different parts will be described. In step 212, since the operation area is set with the grinding start diameter L as the boundary in step 206, the operation area (2-2) is set with LT as the grinding start diameter L minus the drive-in amount T as the boundary. .

Step 216 or step 22
In step 2, manual or automatic grinding is temporarily terminated. Thereafter, the diameter of the work W is measured by the operator (step 21).
8) If it is determined that the machining still needs to be performed, the drive-in amount T 'is reset. At this time, in the second step 212, the drive-in amount T 'is further subtracted from the previously set operation area. That is, the previous operation area is L
−T, the updated operation area (2-3) is L−
TT ′.

Next, at the time of the above-mentioned manual grinding (step 12)
(0, 216) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the manual grinding is started, the program for controlling the movement of the grindstone table 15 by the operation area is started at the same time (step 300).
In step 302, the allowable movement amount IP is calculated. The allowable movement amount IP indicates how far the grinding wheel head 15 can move in the X-axis direction after the current position. And
Let R be the current position of the wheel head 15 and R be the position of the operating area.
If P is set, the movement allowable amount IP is calculated by IP = RP-R. Here, the position RP of the operation area is, for example,
In the case of step 116, the position is D + d-T, and in the case of step 216, the position is LT.

In step 304, a counter value P, which is obtained by counting the pulses generated when the operator rotates the handle 53 of the operation panel 50, is read. That is, this program counts the number of pulses generated in a fixed reading cycle, and inputs this number. Step 306
Then, the total movement amount S when the grinding wheel head 15 is moved is calculated based on the counter value P input in step 304 from the time when the manual grinding is started. The total movement amount S is represented by the sum of the total count value PL of the pulses generated so far and the counter value P,
= P + PL.

At step 308, it is determined whether or not the total movement amount S is larger than the allowable movement amount IP. If the total movement amount S is larger than the movement allowable amount IP (YES), moving the grindstone head 15 by the counter value P will exceed the operation area. Therefore, the process moves to step 312 and the actual movement amount M = 0.
And If the total movement amount S is equal to or less than the allowable movement amount IP (NO), even if the grindstone head 15 is moved by the counter value P, it does not exceed the operation area. P.

In step 310, steps 310 and 3
The actual movement amount M is output to the program for moving the wheel head 15 so as to move the wheel head 15 by the actual movement amount M obtained in step 12. That is, the movement command speed is calculated based on the actual movement amount M, and the wheel head 15 is moved. In addition,
If the actual movement amount M is set to 0 in step 312, the wheel head 15 does not move. For this reason, if the operator exceeds the operation area, no matter how much the operator rotates the handle 53, the grindstone table 15 does not move.

In step 316, the total count value PL of the pulse is updated. That is, PL = PL + M. As a result, the count value corresponding to the actual movement can be obtained. When step 316 ends, step 304 and subsequent steps are repeated again. Therefore, even if the operator arbitrarily rotates the handle 53 during the grinding process, the grindstone table 15 does not move out of the operation area.

The process of limiting the movement of the grindstone table 15 in the manual grinding described above has been described based on the case where the operator rotates the handle 53 to generate a pulse. Similarly, the movement of the wheel head 15 can be restricted. In the embodiment described above, the case where the operation area is set in the radial direction of the work W, that is, in the X-axis direction has been described. This is because the movement of the grindstone table 15 during the processing is in the X-axis direction, and when processing the end face of the work W as shown in FIG. 7, the operation area may be set in the Z direction.

Although the embodiment described above is for a grinding machine, the present invention can also be used for a machine tool such as a lathe.

[0039]

According to the method described in claim 1,
In the run-in machining in which the operation area is once set based on the oversize amount and the machining and the measurement are repeated while the oversize amount is canceled, the tool is not advanced more than the overrun amount. In addition, it is possible to update the drive-in amount many times each time the work is interrupted and the workpiece is measured. Therefore, even if a change occurs in the relative distance between the tool and the work due to thermal displacement, tool wear, or the like, this error can be canceled by resetting the driving amount, so that the work can be easily and reliably processed to the desired accuracy. it can.

Further, in the method according to the second aspect, after inputting a reference dimension, setting an operation area as a reference based on the reference dimension, the operation area is sequentially enlarged each time a drive-in amount is input. I can do it. Therefore, an appropriate operation area can be set according to the progress of processing. Therefore, the total cutting depth of the tool is always ensured, so that the operator does not accidentally advance the tool more than he or she desires and excessively machine the workpiece. That is, the operator can perform the tool feeding operation without looking at the scale attached to the handle or the coordinate value displayed on the operation panel. Therefore, the worker can concentrate on watching the work, such as the appearance of sparks of the work, and thus can easily perform the work. For this reason, work time can be shortened. In addition, since it is possible to concentrate on adjusting the feed speed of the tool such as the degree of sparking of the work, high-precision machining can be performed.
