Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This patent describes a monitoring method and device for numerically controlled machine tools, such as milling-turning machines. It measures and evaluates the actual geometry and/or mass distribution of a workpiece, comparing these values against preset reference standards. The system utilizes sensors and measuring devices to ensure the workpiece matches the required specifications before or during machining.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

  • Quality control in CNC manufacturing processes
  • Automatic verification of workpiece geometry before machining starts
  • Preventing machining errors by early detection of deviations in shape or mass
  • Enhanced safety protocols for machine operation by stopping processes if parameters are not met
  • Applicable in factories using automated machine tools for mass production

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

  • Increases product quality by ensuring components match specifications
  • Reduces machine downtime and potential damage by detecting unsuitable workpieces early
  • Minimizes wastage of materials and machining time
  • Improves safety for operators and machines by preventing malfunction due to incorrect workpieces
  • Enables automation and less reliance on manual inspection in production lines

Patent Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Überwachungsverfahren für eine numerisch gesteuerte Werkzeugmaschine, insbesondere eine Fräsdrehmaschine (1) mit mindestens einem rotatorischem Werkstückantrieb und einer trennender Schutzeinrichtung (6), wobei erfindungsgemäß eine Ist-Geometrie eines Werkstücks (2) und/oder eine Ist-Masseverteilung des Werkstücks (2) bestimmt und mit einem vorgegebenen Referenzwert einer zulässigen Geometrie und/oder einer zulässigen Masseverteilung verglichen wird. Die Überwachungseinrichtung weist erfindungsgemäß wenigstens ein Mittel zur Messung der Masse eines auf einem Werkstücktisch (4) aufgespannten Werkstücks (2) und/oder wenigstens einen Sensor (5) zur Erfassung der Werkstückgeometrie auf.
