Abstract
Machine tool (10), in particular a cutting machine tool, comprising at least one digital storage unit (34) in which a machining program code that codes the machining process of a workpiece by means of the machine tool (10) and a monitoring program code that codes a monitoring process for monitoring the machining process are stored. According to the invention, it is intended that a script editor (38) is stored in the digital storage unit (34) for inputting and/or reading modification commands that change the monitoring process, and a compiler is also stored in the digital storage unit (34) that is designed to automatically generate an executable process monitoring pro- gram code from the monitoring program code and the modification commands.
Claims14
A machine tool, comprising:
- at least one digital storage unit which stores
- a machining program code that codes for a machining process of a workpiece by means of the machine tool,
- a monitoring program code that codes a monitoring process for monitoring the machining process,
- a script editor for inputting and/or reading modification commands selection of which change the monitoring process, wherein selectable modification commands comprise first and second modification commands corresponding with first and second machine parameters, respectively, and
- a compiler configured to automatically generate an executable process monitoring program code from the monitoring program code and selected modification commands, the executable process monitoring program code being shorter if the first modification command is selected than if the second or both modification commands are selected,
- a processor configured to run the compiler and to execute the process monitoring program code during the machining process.
A machine tool monitoring device to be connected to a machine tool, comprising:
- at least one digital storage unit which stores
- a monitoring program code that codes a monitoring process for monitoring the machining process is stored,
- a script editor for inputting and/or reading modification commands selection of which change the monitoring process, wherein selectable modification commands comprise first and second modification commands corresponding with first and second machine parameters, respectively, and
- a compiler configured to automatically generate an executable process monitoring program code from the monitoring program code and the modification commands, the executable process monitoring program code being shorter if the first modification command is selected than if the second or both modification commands are selected;
- a processor configured to run the compiler and to execute the process monitoring program code during the machining process.
A method for monitoring a machine tool, comprising the steps of:
- reading of a monitoring program code that codes a monitoring process for monitoring the machining process of a workpiece by the machine tool,
- recording of at least one selected modification command in a script editor, wherein selectable modification commands comprise first and second modification commands corresponding with first and second machine parameters, respectively,
- automatic generation of a compiled or pre-compiled executable process monitoring program code from the monitoring program code and the modification commands, the executable process monitoring program code being shorter if the first modification command is selected than if the second or both modification commands are selected, and
- monitoring of the machine tool during the machining process of the workpiece by means of the process monitoring program code which is executed.
