Definitions
- the present invention relates to a laser beam machine and numerical control program creation software.
- the movement of the machining head that has moved to the machining position closer to the workpiece is called the approach movement.
- the approach operation by monitoring the electrostatic scanning voltage that changes in accordance with the distance between the nozzle provided on the machining head and the workpiece, the nozzle is positioned at a first distance from the workpiece. To do.
- the machining per control cycle is performed as the distance from the workpiece decreases.
- the machining head can be positioned with high accuracy at a position where the nozzle is separated from the workpiece by a first distance.
- the approach speed, and the amount of movement per cycle after the distance between the nozzle and the work is less than the second distance
- the magnification used is called gain.
- the detection range of the electrostatic scanning voltage is fixed to a circular area having a constant size centered on the machining head. Accordingly, when an approach operation is performed at the peripheral edge of the workpiece, the workpiece is present only in a part of the detection range. In the state where the workpiece exists only in a part of the detection range, even if the distance between the machining head and the workpiece is the same, the electrostatic copying is compared with the case where the approach operation is performed at the center of the workpiece. The voltage becomes smaller. Therefore, if the approach operation is performed at the peripheral edge of the work with the same approach speed and gain, the machining head is positioned with the distance between the nozzle and the work smaller than the first distance, and overshoot occurs. Then, the nozzle collides with the workpiece. When the nozzle collides with the workpiece, it is necessary to move the machining head once away from the workpiece and then close to the workpiece again, so that the approach operation takes time.
- Patent Document 1 A technique aimed at preventing overshoot during approach operation is disclosed in Patent Document 1.
- Patent Document 1 obtains a position deviation amount that is a difference between a position command and an actual servo motor position in order to avoid a collision of a nozzle with a workpiece due to overshoot, and based on the position deviation amount.
- the position gain is changed to the corrected position gain.
- the machining head In the approach operation, it is desirable to move the machining head as fast as possible in order to increase production efficiency.
- the distance between the machining head and the workpiece can be accurately detected based on the electrostatic scanning voltage, so even if the machining head is moved quickly, the nozzle collides with the workpiece due to overshoot. It is hard to happen.
- the invention disclosed in Patent Document 1 performs the same approach operation regardless of whether the place where the approach operation is performed is the non-peripheral portion or the peripheral portion of the workpiece. Therefore, in the invention disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the approach operation is performed under the condition that the collision between the nozzle and the workpiece does not occur, the approach operation takes more time than necessary at the non-peripheral portion of the workpiece. Further improvement in production efficiency is desired.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above, and is required when the approach operation is performed at the non-periphery portion of the workpiece while preventing the nozzle and the workpiece from colliding with each other at the peripheral portion of the workpiece.
- the purpose is to make the time shorter than the time required for the approach operation at the peripheral edge of the workpiece.
- the present invention performs an approach operation in which a machining head provided with a nozzle is brought close to a workpiece and the distance between the nozzle and the workpiece is set as a first distance.
- a laser processing machine that emits a laser oscillated by a laser oscillator from a nozzle to a workpiece at a first distance from the workpiece and cuts a part from the workpiece, a sensor for measuring a distance between the nozzle and the workpiece, a nozzle, When the distance between the workpiece and the workpiece is greater than or equal to the second distance that is greater than the first distance, the processing head is brought closer to the workpiece at the approach speed, and one control cycle occurs when the distance between the nozzle and the workpiece is less than or equal to the second distance.
- the amount of movement of the processing head per contact is made smaller than that at the approach speed based on the gain, and the processing head is moved until the distance between the nozzle and the workpiece becomes the first distance.
- a height control unit that performs an approach operation by approaching to the height control unit, and the height control unit is configured to perform a first approach operation when the approach operation is performed at a non-peripheral portion of the workpiece where the workpiece exists in the entire detection range of the sensor.
- the approach operation is performed at the peripheral edge of the workpiece where the workpiece exists in a part of the detection range using the approach speed and the first gain of the second approach velocity and the first gain smaller than the first approach velocity.
- a second gain smaller than the gain is used.
- the laser beam machine according to the present invention prevents the collision between the nozzle and the workpiece when the approach operation is performed at the peripheral portion of the workpiece, and the time required for performing the approach operation at the non-peripheral portion of the workpiece is the peripheral portion of the workpiece.
- the effect is that it can be made shorter than the time required for the approach operation.

- FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a workpiece included in the detection range of the distance sensor when an approach operation is performed at a non-peripheral portion of the workpiece. Since the workpiece 12 exists in the entire detection range 19a of the distance sensor 19, the electrostatic scanning voltage corresponding to the capacitance generated between the workpiece 12 and the nozzle 28 corresponding to the area of the detection range is a distance sensor. 19 is detected.
- FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing a workpiece included in the detection range of the distance sensor when an approach operation is performed at the peripheral edge of the workpiece.
- the approach operation is performed around the side of the workpiece 12
- the workpiece 12 exists only in half of the detection range 19 a of the distance sensor 19. Therefore, if the distance between the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12 is the same, the capacitance generated between the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12 is halved. Therefore, when an approach operation is performed around the side of the workpiece 12, the actual distance between the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12 is half of the distance detected by the sensor data processing unit 18 based on the sensor data of the distance sensor 19. Become.
- the approach operation at the periphery of the side of the workpiece 12 has been described as an example.
- the actual distance between the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12 is the distance.
- the distance is a quarter of the distance detected by the sensor data processing unit 18 based on the sensor data of the sensor 19.
- the actual distance between the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12 is determined based on the sensor data of the distance sensor 19. The distance is smaller than the distance detected by the data processing unit 18.
- FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the amount of movement of the machining head 7 per control cycle.
- the amount of movement is shown.
- the control cycle of the laser beam machine 100 is 0.0050 seconds.
- the second distance is set to 10 mm, and when the distance between the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12 becomes less than 10 mm, the height control unit 17 sets the moving speed of the machining head 7 per control cycle. change.
- the way of viewing FIG. 4 will be described by taking as an example the case where the distance between the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12 is 3 mm or more and less than 4 mm.
- the machining head 7 moves at an approach speed, that is, at a speed of 20 m / min. Accordingly, when the distance between the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12 is 10 mm or more, the moving amount of the machining head 7 per control cycle is 1.67 mm.
- the height control unit 17 performs processing when the sensor data processing unit 18 detects that the distance L between the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12 is less than 10 mm, which is the second distance, based on the sensor data of the distance sensor 19. Deceleration control of the moving speed of the head 7 is started. However, when the gain is 1.0, the movement amount of the machining head 7 per control cycle when the distance L between the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12 is 9 mm or more and less than 10 mm is that the distance between the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12 is 10 mm. Since it is the same as the above case, actually, the moving speed of the machining head 7 changes when the distance L between the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12 becomes less than 9 mm.
- a tracking delay occurs with respect to a position command in a servo motor. Accordingly, a follow-up delay occurs with respect to the position command also in the Z servo motor 25 that drives the machining head 7 in the Z direction.
- the movement amount of the machining head 7 per control cycle is a little over one sixth of the distance L between the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12. Therefore, if the follow-up delay of the Z servo motor 25 with respect to the position command is 5 control cycles or less, the nozzle 28 does not collide with the workpiece 12 even if the machining head 7 overshoots.
- the distance L between the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12 can be accurately detected by the distance sensor 19 and the sensor data processing unit 18. Therefore, when the approach operation is performed at the non-peripheral portion of the workpiece 12 under the condition that the approach speed is 20 m / min and the gain is 1.0, the follow-up delay of the Z servo motor 25 with respect to the position command is 5 control cycles. In the following overshoot, the nozzle 28 does not collide with the workpiece 12.
- the distance L between the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12 is half of the distance detected by the sensor data processing unit 18 based on the sensor data of the distance sensor 19. . Therefore, when the approach operation is performed around the side of the workpiece 12, the height control unit 17 sets the moving speed of the machining head 7 when the distance L between the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12 becomes less than 4.5 mm. It will slow down.
- the approach operation is performed under the condition that the approach speed is 20 m / min and the gain is 1.0
- both the approach speed and the gain are made smaller than when the approach operation is performed at the non-peripheral portion of the work 12.
- both the approach speed and the gain are set to small values compared with values used in the approach operation at the non-peripheral portion.
- FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing the amount of movement of the machining head 7 per control cycle.
- the amount of movement is shown.
- the control cycle of the laser processing machine 100 is 0.0050 seconds.
- the machining head 7 moves 0.83 mm per control cycle immediately before the movement speed of the machining head 7 starts decelerating, so the follow-up delay of the Z servo motor 25 is an overshoot with 10 control cycles or less. If present, the nozzle 28 does not collide with the workpiece 12.
- the approach speed is 10 m / min and the gain is 0.5
- the amount of movement of the machining head 7 per control cycle when the distance L between the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12 is 1 mm or more and less than 2 mm is 0. Therefore, if the first distance is 1 mm, positioning can be performed with an accuracy of 0.083 mm.
- the distance between the nozzle 28 and the work 12 becomes smaller than the target distance. Therefore, when the approach operation is performed at the peripheral edge of the workpiece 12, the distance L between the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12 is corrected by raising the machining head 7 last.
- the distance detected by the sensor data processing unit 18 based on the sensor data of the distance sensor 19 is the actual distance. Double the distance. Therefore, when the machining head 7 is moved until the distance L between the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12 becomes the first distance, the machining head 7 has the distance L between the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12 half of the first distance. Stop at the position. Therefore, the distance L between the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12 is set to the first distance by raising the machining head 7 by 1 ⁇ 2 of the first distance at the end of the approach operation.
- FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the height correction of the machining head.
- the first distance is H.
- the approach is performed.
- a correction operation for raising the machining head 7 by 1/2 of the first distance H is performed.
- the corrected distance between the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12 becomes the first distance H.
- the distance detected by the sensor data processing unit 18 based on the sensor data of the distance sensor 19 is the actual distance. 4 times. Therefore, when the machining head 7 is moved until the distance L between the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12 becomes the first distance, the machining head 7 has a distance L between the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12 of 4 which is the first distance. Stop at a position that is a minute. Therefore, the distance L between the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12 is set to the first distance by raising the machining head 7 by 3/4 of the first distance at the end of the approach operation.
- a correction operation for raising the machining head 7 based on the ratio of the workpiece 12 included in the detection range 19a of the distance sensor 19 is performed, so that the nozzle 28 and the workpiece 12 are also approached at the peripheral portion of the workpiece 12.
- the machining head 7 can be positioned in a state where the distance to the first distance is the first distance.
- FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of operations during laser processing. Note that the series of operations in the flowchart shown in FIG. 7 is based on the assumption that the workpiece 12 has a rectangular shape.
- the peripheral size is a value smaller than the diameter of the detection range 19a of the distance sensor 19, and is set to the same value as the radius of the detection range 19a of the distance sensor 19, for example.
