Abstract

A numerical control system according to the present invention controls machine drive systems included in a machine tool that performs machining using a tool, according to a numerical control program, and includes a coordinate transformation unit that acquires a disturbance force or a disturbance torque applied to each machine drive system, and coordinate-transforms the disturbance force or the disturbance torque into a tool reference coordinate system for output, and an identification unit that calculates cutting process parameters that determine characteristics of a cutting process model and dynamic characteristic parameters that determine characteristics of a dynamics model of the machine tool, using the disturbance force or the disturbance torque output from the coordinate transformation unit, states of the machine drive systems, predetermined equation models, and cutting conditions. The equation models define relationships between the cutting process parameters, the dynamic characteristic parameters, and the disturbance force or the disturbance torque.

processing circuitry configured to:
control a machine drive system including a motor, according to a numerical control program;
estimate a disturbance force or a disturbance torque applied to the machine drive system using a detection result detected by a sensor to detect speed or acceleration of the machine drive system;
calculate an actual power of machine drive system corresponding to a first structure model of the machine drive system from the detection result, based on the first structure model;
calculate a power command of machine drive system that is a force applied by the motor to the machine drive system, based on a second structure model of the machine drive system including the motor of the machine drive system, a detection result of a motor current flowing through the motor, and a detection result of a position of the motor;
estimate the disturbance force or the disturbance torque using the actual power of machine drive system and the power command of machine drive system; and
correct commands of the numerical control program based on the estimated disturbance force or the disturbance torque, wherein
one of a plurality of structures constituting the machine drive system is divided into a first inertial body model and a second inertial body model for modeling, the first structure model includes the first inertial body model, and the second structure model includes the second inertial body model.

2. The motor drive controller according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry corrects time lags produced between a signal indicating the detection result of the motor current, a signal indicating the detection result of the position of the motor, and a signal indicating the detection result of the sensor, and estimates the disturbance force or the disturbance torque, using the signals corrected in the time lags.
