Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is titled "Apparatus and method for automatically converting thermal displacement compensation parameters of machine tool." This invention relates to an apparatus and method that automatically convert compensation parameters of a thermal displacement compensation equation of a machine tool. It optimizes the compensation parameter to the current thermal displacement state of the machine tool in real time. This is based on Z-directional or Y-directional displacement data of a tool tip end of a reference tool, measured by a tool measuring unit. The goal is to minimize processing errors due to thermal displacement and improve the processing accuracy of the machine tool.

Another notable patent is "Apparatus and method for automatically detecting and compensating for a backlash of a machine tool." This invention observes torque variation of a servomotor measured in a numerical control apparatus of an existing numerical control machine tool. It detects backlash by calculating the transfer distance of an output shaft of the servomotor at a torque peak, without the need for additional positioning detection equipment. This allows for accurate detection of the backlash amount without adding extra equipment.
