基于蓝天数控系统刀具管理模块的设计与实现

Design and Implementation of Tool Management Module of Blue Sky CNC System

刀具在数控加工中扮演着重要的角色,刀具的管理无论对数控机床加工中心的柔性制造和生产率,还是对产品的精密性和正确性都至关重要。文章系统分析了当前国内外刀具管理的现状,借鉴国际主流数控系统在刀具管理方面的先进技术和经验,在本研究所自主产品蓝天数控系统的基础上,设计实现了一套具有刀具管理基本功能、刀库管理和刀具寿命管理功能的刀具管理模块。数控系统在产品加工的过程中通过刀具管理模块能够对刀具进行统一管理,实时地对刀具进行监控,从而达到保证产品质量和生产安全,减少产品报废和停机时间,提高数控机床生产效率的目的。

Cutting tools play an important role in NC machining. No matter for the flexible manufacturing and productivity of NC machining center, or for the precision and correction of production, the management of the tools is very crucially important. This paper systematically analyzes the current research status of cut- ting tool management at home and abroad. After drawing lessons from the international mainstream NC sys- tem in tool management, we design and implement tool management module on Blue Sky NC system which is independent product of our research institute. It mainly contains three parts in this tool management mod- ule, which are basic function of tool management, the management of tool magazine and the management of tool life. Through the tool management module, NC system can monitor tool life precisely so as to ensure product quality and production safety, reduce product scrap and down time and improve production efficien- cy of NC machine.
