Abstract

A motor drive control system for use in a machine tool having spindle and feed shaft motors. If the spindle motor, which is rotating at a constant speed during a machining operation, is subjected to an overload, and consequently experiences a drop in speed, this fact is detected by a detector for detecting the armature current of the spindle motor. The feed shaft motor is slowed down to a predetermined speed if the overloaded condition continues for a prescribed period of time. The feed shaft motor is stopped if an even greater armature current is detected to be flowing due to a continuing overload despite the fact that the feed shaft motor has been slowed to the predetermined speed.
