Abstract
A numerical controller generates a machining cycle, and controls a machine tool by executing the machining cycle. A block to be corrected is selected from among a plurality of blocks of the machining cycle, the selected block is corrected, and correction information of the block is generated based on the correction and stored. Then, the machining cycle is generated based on the correction information of the stored block and the machining cycle is executed.
Claims18
A numerical controller that generates a machining cycle configured by a plurality of blocks in response to a machining cycle generation command of a machining program, and controls a machine tool by executing the machining cycle, the numerical controller including a memory and a processor, the processor configured to perform a method comprising:
- selecting, from among the plurality of blocks of the machining cycle, a block to be corrected based on an operator selection of a tool path to be corrected;
- correcting the selected block based on a correction received from an operator;
- generating correction information of the block based on the correction received from the operator without unfolding the machining cycle into a code program;
- and
- storing the correction information of the block,
- wherein the machining cycle is generated based on the correction information of the block and the machining cycle is executed to control the machine tool.
