Intelligent machine tools are high-precision CNC machine tools that can make decisions in the manufacturing process, possessing self perception, self decision-making, and self-control capabilities. The concept was first proposed in 2003, and in 2006, Japanese company Mazak exhibited machine tools with intelligent functions. Intelligent machine tools can independently adjust machining parameters, automatically correct errors, monitor machining deviations, optimize production plans, and calculate the remaining life of cutting tools, spindles, and other components through digitization, automation, and artificial intelligence technologies
Intelligent machine tools are machines that can make decisions in the manufacturing process, monitor, diagnose, and correct various deviations that occur during the production process. Intelligent machine tools are machine tools that deeply integrate new generation artificial intelligence technology and advanced manufacturing technology on the basis of new generation information technology. It utilizes autonomous perception and connectivity to obtain information, generates knowledge through autonomous learning and modeling, and can apply this knowledge for autonomous optimization and decision-making, completing autonomous control and execution.
The goal pursued by intelligent machine tools is to achieve high precision, high efficiency, high reliability, high safety, and low consumption in the machining process.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United States believes that intelligent machine tools should have the following functions: be able to perceive their own status and processing capabilities, and be able to calibrate them; Capable of monitoring and optimizing one's own processing behavior; Capable of evaluating the quality of processed workpieces; Having self-learning ability.
As a core component, the intelligent spindle needs to possess three major characteristics: perception, decision-making, and execution. Perception refers to the ability of the spindle to perceive its own operating status and share information; Decision making refers to the ability of the main axis to independently process information for calculation, self-learning, and reasoning; Execution refers to the spindle having functions such as intelligent control, self optimization of machining parameters, and self maintenance of health.
