Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for detecting machining conditions in a machine tool has a magnetic bearing for magnetically supporting a work spindle or a tool spindle. An exciting current detector is provided for detecting an exciting current of an electromagnet of the magnetic bearing. The exciting current corresponds to various machining conditions including the conditions when the machine tool starts operating, the tool contacts the workpiece to follow various unfinished faces, and a machining face condition of the workpiece during machining. The detection signals from the exciting current detector are inputted to a plurality of frequency band pass filters to discriminate the machining conditions. Comparators are provided to compare the output signals from the frequency band pass filters with a predetermined set of reference values, and comparative judgment signals are inputted to a control unit, thereby controlling the machine tool to automatically perform appropriate machining operations.
