Definitions
- the present invention relates to a machine tool with a control device which is set up to control operating modes of the machine tool.
- Access controls for machine tools by means of one or more key switches are known from the prior art. Individual key operating modes of the machine are specifically activated via these key switches in accordance with the European guidelines and standards.
- a machine tool with an access control device is known from EP 2 034 378 A2, wherein a user can select one or more operating functions via a selection device.
- An access control device only grants the user access to those operating functions that he is authorized to perform.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a control device and a machine tool with a control device which has improved operability and control, and with which safety in operation can be increased in a particularly simple manner.
- the machine tool can have a control device for controlling the machine tool and various machine areas.
- the machine tool can also include various operating modes, in particular also one or more safe operating modes (Mod e-of-saf eo pe rat ⁇ on, MSO for short), the operating modes at least one or more standard operating modes or standard operating modes and a service mode or one Service mode can include.
- the machine tool can thus be operated in different operating modes, at least in a standard operation and in a service operation.
- the standard operating modes can be, for example, a safe standard mode "Automatic" (MSO 1), a safe standard mode "Installer! (MSO 2), include a standard operation "extended setup” (MSO 3) Service operation (MSO SE) can also be designed as a safe operating mode.
- the control device can have an operating device for operating the control device by a user and a safety controller for controlling different machine areas of the machine tool.
- Machine areas of the machine tool can be selected via the operating device, and operating modes or safe operating modes can be defined for the selected machine areas, the selected machine areas with the assigned operating modes or safe operating modes can be transmitted to the safety controller.
- Such a configuration advantageously makes it possible to provide a machine tool with a control device in which the user can select various machine areas of the machine tool via the operating device and can specify specific operating modes for the selected machine areas, so that the different machine areas of the machine tool are operated in different operating modes can.
- This has the advantage of increasing safety because, for example, for service or maintenance work as well as for assembly work, only partial areas of the machine tool can be switched to a safety mode, machine areas that are not required can be brought into a sleep mode or an off state, for example.
- Operating machine areas in safety mode enables, for example, a very slow movement of an NC axis (e.g. feed axis, spindle, etc.) of the machine tool, while at the same time suppressing error messages when opening service doors, which would normally lead to the machine coming to a safe standstill , so that the maintenance personnel or the user can carry out service work on the machine tool.
- NC axis e.g. feed axis, spindle, etc.
- the operating device can be set up in such a way that an access control device allows a user access to functions of the machine tool, according to a defined authorization in an access key, the operating device recognizing the authorization by detecting the access key.
- This enables the user to select machine areas according to his authorization and to define operating modes according to his authorization for the respective machine areas.
- the authorization of a user can thus relate to machine areas on the one hand and to operating modes on the other, so that a detailed assignment of the authorizations to a user or his access key is made possible.
- the respective machine areas of the machine tool can be selected independently of one another and individual operating modes or safe operating modes can be defined for each of the selected machine areas. For the respective
- Machine areas of the machine tool can thus be defined independently of one another, operating modes or safe operating modes. This enables the machine tool to be controlled with a high safety factor, since for various work on the machine tool, for example, only that machine area is activated and thus put into work mode for which the respective service or maintenance work and / or assembly work is to be carried out, the other machine areas, for example can be switched to an off state (or left).
- the operating modes can include an assembly operation. In an assembly plant, the machine tool can be operated during the assembly and / or installation of the machine tool.
- safety-relevant sensors of the machine area can be partially activated by this assembly operation, with other sensors being deactivated, so that, for example, a spindle speed sensor is activated in the respective machine area when the maintenance door is installed, so that the faulty or accidental activation of the An error message or a signal can be output to the spindle, for example, to thereby switch off the machine tool or only the respective machine area or to bring it into a safe state.
- the control device can allow selection of machine areas on which assembly work and / or maintenance work is carried out, so that it is possible to operate these machine areas in an assembly operation. It is also possible to operate or switch off non-selected machine areas in a safety mode.
- the control device can have a receiving unit (e.g. in connection with a selection device or selection device and / or activation device for selecting or activating e.g. a specific operating mode among the available operating modes) for receiving signals of an electronic access key (access device).
- a receiving unit e.g. in connection with a selection device or selection device and / or activation device for selecting or activating e.g. a specific operating mode among the available operating modes
- an electronic access key can be designed, for example, as a transponder key.
- the registration and verification of the user who activates the machine tool or its control can be carried out using such an electronic access key.
- By providing a receiving device directly on the control device it is possible to determine the authorizations of the user or the electronic access key used and to enable selectable machine areas and operating modes based on this.
- the controller can be designed such that the access authorization of the electronic access key is recognized and, depending on the access authorization, a change in the operating modes or secure operating modes and / or access to machine areas can be specified.
- the control device is thus Programmable, so that the different authorizations of the different electronic access keys can be set beforehand to access different operating modes and machine areas.
- the control device can be set up to define an operating mode or safe operating mode of the machine tool per machine area. This enables an individual configuration of the operation of the machine tool and thereby also increases the safety during maintenance, service and / or assembly work.
- the operating modes can advantageously include at least a manual mode, an automatic mode and an assembly mode (assembly mode).
- the operating modes can be automatic operation ("Automatic" operating mode, MSO 1), setup mode ("Setup” operating mode, MSO 2) for setting up the machine, and / or extended setup mode ("Advanced setup” operating mode, MSO 3) for Setting up the machine with expanded set-up options and functions, and / or a service mode ("Service” operating mode, MSO SE), and include the above-mentioned assembly mode (assembly mode).
- the control device can advantageously comprise a release button for activating the selected machine area in the assigned operating mode. This improves the operation of the machine tool, since incorrect operation is not possible without pressing the release button.
- control device in such a way that the release of the operation of the machine area or of the entire machine tool requires a constant pressing of the release button. This is possible, for example, in manual operation of the machine tool in order to increase safety when moving spindles at increased speed. By continuously pressing the release button, it is thus possible to ensure that the user of the machine tool is at the control device and not in a work area of the machine tool or away from the machine tool. This is particularly relevant to safety when operating the machine areas in service or assembly operations.
- a cabin and / or maintenance door can be provided in the machine area of the machine tool and in service operation and / or assembly operation of the machine area, the control device can allow the machine area to be operated, even though, for example, the cabin is open or the maintenance door is open.
- the safety sensor for outputting the position of the maintenance door (closed position, open position) can be deactivated, so that the maintenance door can be exchanged easily and without an error message.
- the other safety elements of the machine area can also remain activated.
- the machine tool can e.g. comprise a tool changer, a tool magazine, a pallet changer and / or a chip conveyor system, which are preferably each assigned to different machine areas.
- the control device can operate as a mode selector switch and can be set up to change the access authorization of a user by determining the user authorization to determine an access key and to enable operation of the machine tool according to the authorization of the user.
- Machine tool can be reduced and upon detection of deviations in the working speed over a certain extent and / or a signal from a safety sensor, a stop (safe stop) of the machine tool can be brought about by the control device.
- the safety mode can be selected not only for the entire machine tool but also only for special selected machine areas of the machine tool.
- the reduction in the maximum working speed in safety operation and also the detection of deviations in the working speed over a certain extent or a signal from a safety sensor additionally increase safety.
- the functions of the machine tool can be restricted in safety mode.
- the machine tool may include a control device that includes a safety mode selection device that includes a selection system for changing the operating mode, an access system for restricting access to the selection system, and a selection system that controls the safety-related parts of the control stakes.
- a safety mode selection device that includes a selection system for changing the operating mode, an access system for restricting access to the selection system, and a selection system that controls the safety-related parts of the control stakes.
- the structure of three systems, namely the selection system, the access system and the dialing system allows increased security, because to change the operating mode, the user's authorizations are checked first and then the operating mode can be changed in the selection system and finally in the dialing system Control information can be transmitted to the safety controller. This can reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
- the operating data can include manual operation, automatic operation, and set-up operation and automatic operation with manual intervention. This enables a large number of different operating modes for the different machine areas so that the respective machine areas can be controlled individually.
- Service operation can be activated depending on signals from the maintenance door and at the same time that the user's authorization is present. This configuration makes it possible to put a machine area of the machine tool into a service operation as soon as, for example, a maintenance door is opened, provided that the user is also authorized for service operation for the respective machine area. If, on the other hand, the maintenance door is opened by a user who does not have the necessary authorization, the machine tool can be switched off and a warning issued.
- the operating device can comprise a screen for graphically displaying the machine areas and the operating modes of the respective machine areas, wherein the machine areas to be selected can be displayed in a matrix.
- the graphical representation of the machine areas and the respective operating modes makes it possible to increase the security to the extent that the user can see at a glance which operating mode is present in soft machine areas.
- the screen can be a touch-sensitive screen, so that the machine areas and operating modes can be selected directly on the screen. This simple type of operation further increases the level of security, since it is unnecessary to search for the respective switches which are not arranged on the screen, since switching is possible by directly touching the respective switches on the screen.
- Access to the operating device, through the authorization of an electronic key, can also be entered by entering a password and / or fingerprint (e.g. by fingerprint recognition ⁇ or similar
- Access authorization authentications must be protected.
- the operating device can therefore only be operated as a function of the authorization and the respective password and / or fingerprint or the appropriate access authorization.
- the operating modes can include a service operation for the machine operator and a service operation for the machine manufacturer. This distinction enables access to particularly critical machine areas or elements of the machine tool only to service employees of the machine manufacturer.
- a release button or activation button can be provided, which must be pressed.
- the release button (activation button) can act directly on the safety controller, with the selected machine area being transmitted to the safety controller via data transmission.
- This advantageous embodiment makes it possible to design the release button for operating the machine area independently of the system of the operating device, so that an independent safety shutdown via the release button is made possible when an error occurs in the operating device. In other words, operation of the machine area when an error occurs in the operating device is prevented by the release button being connected to the safety controller independently of the operating device, so that the machine tool is not operated in the preselected operating mode without actuation of the release button.
- the release switch To activate the operation of the machine areas in the respective operating mode, the release switch must be pressed and the electronic key must also be connected to the control device. This is a further increase in security, since on the one hand it is ensured that the user presses the release switch and, in addition, that the user also has the necessary authorization, since the connection to the user's electronic key is required.
- the electronic key can be assigned an authorization which corresponds to the qualification or the level of training of the user of the key.
- Machine areas can be selected via a screen, which, after activation, can be transferred to a safety mode according to ISO 18090.
- feedback from the safety controller can take place on the screen of the operating device and the activated machine areas can be graphically represented there, this graphic representation in particular comprising lighting up of the activated machine areas.
- This feedback from the machine areas to the screen of the control device makes it possible to give the user feedback about the operation of the respective machine areas. Thus, if a faulty machine area is in operation, even though it should not be in operation it is possible for the user to recognize this directly on the screen and to remedy the error.
- the machine areas that are operated in safety mode can be displayed graphically on the screen of the operating device. These machine areas can only be activated if the release button is pressed and the electronic access key is connected to the control device. Thus, the graphic representation on the screen increases the security by requesting the presence of the electronic access key and pressing the release button.
- the machine tool can be designed in such a way that, in the event that the connection with the electronic key is interrupted, the operation of the machine areas of the machine tool is blocked, so that the machine tool is stopped completely or partially.
- the machine tool can have a tool magazine, an access to the tool magazine, a plate changer, an access to the plate changer, a work area and an access to the work area, which can each be assigned to a separate machine area.
- the operating device can be a portable operating device. This enables the user to go to certain sections of the machine tool, in particular during assembly and service work, and to carry the operating device with them. It is possible to operate the machine tool in selected machine areas since the user can carry the portable operating device with him and in particular, the activation of the release button required for operation can be carried out on site. In service mode, it is therefore no longer necessary for a user to stand at the stationary operating device in order to press the release button, so that the second user can carry out the service in the machine area. Rather, it is possible here for a service employee to carry out the service work directly in the machine area with the portable operating device and to press the release button on the portable operating device in order to set or activate the machine area in the respective operating mode.
- the portable operating device can comprise an approval device.
- the machine tool can comprise a control device which comprises two operating devices, a (stationary) operating device which is fixedly connected to the control device and a portable (mobile) operating device.
- the stationary operating device and the mobile operating device are preferably set up such that only one of the operating devices is always active or activated.
- the stationary operating device and the mobile operating device can be set up in such a way that the activated operating device must be deactivated before the other operating device can be activated. It is also possible that the stationary operating device and the mobile operating device are set up such that the activated operating device is automatically deactivated when the other operating device is activated.
- the operating device can also allow the selection of individual or multiple components or devices (for example NC axes or feed axes) of this machine area, so that the components (elements, NC axes, etc.) of the machine area are fixed as required (or can be controlled), the components being, in particular, drivable components (eg actuators, feed axes, axis slides, drive shafts, etc.) of the machine tool.
- drivable components eg actuators, feed axes, axis slides, drive shafts, etc.
- This further differentiation makes it possible not only to select different machine areas of the machine tool, but also in addition different drivable (or controllable) components of the machine tool, such as spindles or the like.
- These components can also include maintenance or service doors of the machine tool. It is thus possible to operate the spindle in a safety mode and the maintenance door in a machine area, for example Deactivate in the same or in another machine area so that the door sensor does not emit a false signal when the maintenance door is
- the control device can carry out a preset coupling of different components and / or machine areas, so that when a machine area is selected, other machine areas or components are also activated (selected) and the operating mode to be determined is also assigned to these parts (or these components are set to a preset operating mode).
- the preset coupling of different components it is possible for the preset coupling of different components to be carried out by machine areas, so that the components are fixed in order to operate the selected machine area in safety mode. For example, when selecting the safety mode, the power supply for a second machine area can be prevented for a second machine area, so that security can be increased.
- the control device can carry out a handshake-controlled transmission process. This enables particularly safe control of the machine tool.
- the access system can also be integrated in the selection system.
- the receiving unit of the control device can be an RFID receiver.
- a control device for controlling a machine tool can include an operating device for operating the control device by a user and a safety controller for controlling different machine areas of the machine tool. The operating device can be used to select machine areas of the machine tool and to define operating modes for the selected machine areas, the selected machine areas with the assigned operating modes being able to be transmitted to the safety controller.
- the operating modes can include an assembly operation, so that, irrespective of the structure of the machine tool and / or when the machine tool is started up, functions of the machine can be provided without having to manually insert, for example, safety elements of the machine.
- the control device can also include an emergency stop button, which is arranged in particular in the operating device.
- the electronic control device can comprise a display which is touch-sensitive, so that inputs can be made by a user touching the screen.
- the control device can comprise an additional portable operating device.
- Selected work areas can be displayed graphically on the screen.
- the selected work areas can preferably be represented in a safe manner by illuminated (flashing) areas on the screen.
- the selection of the machine areas and the selection of the operating modes can be carried out on the touch-sensitive screen.
- Areas of the machine tool can be selected via the operating device and operating modes can be defined for the selected areas, the selected areas with the operating modes being transmitted to the safety control. Data transmission between the safety controller and the operating device is thus provided.
- a method for controlling a machine tool with a control device which comprises a machine controller for controlling the machine tool and a safety controller, can have the steps: access to the system of the control device by connection with the electronic key, selection of the operating mode depending on the authorizations of the electronic key , Selection of the machine areas and transmission of the data to the safety controller.
- the machine tool can be divided into several machine areas, wherein the machine tool can also be operated in different operating modes and the operating modes include at least one service operation and one normal operation.

- a safety mode selection device which consists of an access system, a selection system and a selection system for manually selecting the operating mode of a machine.
- the access system is a facility that limits access to a restricted group of people and prevents accidental or improper use of the selection system.
- the selection system is a device that makes it possible to change an operating mode of the machine tool.
- the selection system can be integrated into the access system, for example in a key switch (operating mode selector switch) e.g. in connection with a transponder or a similar access system.
- the selection system is the safety-related part of the entire control system.
- the access system, the selection system and the selection system are part of the control device of the machine tool.
- the control device comprises an operating device (B) and a safety controller S.
- the user Via the access system, the user can gain access to the control system of the machine tool using the electronic access key (transponder key).
- the selection system enables the user to select work areas of the machine tool and to change the safe operating mode of the areas. After selection and selection of the operating modes, these instructions are transmitted to the safety controller S of the machine tool W via the selection system at the control level.
- the machine tool can be operated in a safety mode.
- safety mode encompasses an available group of functions with common features that do not exceed a certain level of risk.
- the access system can restrict access in various ways. Access is preferably restricted via an electronic key. Additionally or alternatively, a password may also have to be requested. Additional security features, such as a fingerprint sensor or the like, can also be provided.
- the control device of the machine tool W includes, for example, the operating device B, which has a screen. This screen enables the user to select machine areas M on the operating device B and to determine the operating mode for the respective machine areas M via the electronic access key, depending on the authorization of his access key, after successful registration in the access system.
- the recorded data are transmitted to the safety controller S via a data connection, which subsequently controls the corresponding machine areas M in accordance with the information entered.
- Safety mode manual operation, MSO 0: The operation of the machine by control “by hand” or by manual control specifications without NC functionality. The non-automatic operation of the feed axes is permitted in this operating mode. The operator is in control of the machining process without using programmed machining steps. The axes of the machine tool can be moved using control devices with automatic reset as well as electronic handwheels or joysticks. This enables safe and simple entry of the control commands. Another possible safety mode is automatic operation
- set-up mode Another possible operating mode is set-up mode (MSO 2): In set-up mode, the operator can prepare for the subsequent work processes, for example to determine the position of the tools and workpieces by probing the workpiece with a probe.
- Another operating mode is the optional "Operation for manual interventions under restricted operating conditions" (MSO 3): This operating mode allows the temporary operation of the machine under manual or numerical control with restricted performance and temporarily opened separating or triggered non-separating protective devices. This operating mode is to activate an approval device to increase security.
- MSO SE In a service mode (MSO SE) it is possible to switch the machine tool into a service mode.
- the service operation should preferably only be made available for service personnel of the machine manufacturer or for trained and authorized service personnel. The processing of workpieces is not permitted in service mode.
- the possible operating modes of the machine tool also advantageously have an assembly operation.
- the cabin is usually missing when a machine is started up. Therefore, assembly work still has to be carried out, for example the installation of the tool changer, the tool magazine, the plate changer, and / or the chip removal system, etc.
- the cabin only arrives at the machine at a relatively late time. In order to nevertheless be able to use functionalities of the machine tool, it is thus possible to put areas of the machine tool into an assembly operation or to control them as required.
- the machine tool cabin for certain service activities must be removed.
- the cabin and certain machine assemblies can also be removed for transport and can be transported separately. The service operation thus enables the machine tool to be controlled for the service work.
