Abstract
A preventive maintenance system of a machine tool capable of making determination of presence of an abnormality mechanically and automatically, which has conventionally been performed on the basis of the feeling of an operator and detecting an abnormality more accurately in an earlier stage is provided. The preventive maintenance system includes: a vibration detection unit attached to a mechanism of a machine tool to detect vibration; a sound detection unit that detects acoustic waves produced when a work is machined by the machine tool; a servo motor current value detection unit that detects a current value of a servo motor; an abnormality determination unit that compares the vibration, the acoustic waves, and the current value of the servo motor during operation of the machine tool with vibration data, acoustic wave data, and current value data in a normal state set in advance to determine presence of an abnormality in the mechanism of the machine tool; and a detection start/end command setting unit that adds commands for a detection start point and a detection end point of at least one of the vibration, the acoustic waves, and the current value of the servo motor to a machining program.
