Abstract
An operation management system configured to acquire measured values of a workpiece from a numerical controller which controls a machine tool to measure the workpiece is provided with a measurement macro receiving unit configured to read a measurement macro for controlling the measurement from the numerical controller, a measurement macro analysis unit configured to analyze the measurement macro to identify the name of a measurement result variable loaded with the measured values, and a measurement result read-out unit configured to read out the value of the measurement result variable from the numerical controller. The operation management system easily acquires the result of the workpiece measurement from the numerical controller.
Claims7
An operation management system configured to acquire measured values of a workpiece from a numerical controller which controls a machine tool to measure the workpiece, the operation management system comprising:
- a processor configure to
- read a measurement macro for controlling the measurement from the numerical controller,
- analyze the measurement macro to identify the name of a measurement result variable loaded with the measured values, and
- read out the value of the measurement result variable from the numerical controller, wherein the processor is configured to read out the value of the measurement result variable from the numerical controller in response to a detection that a trigger variable defined for the measurement macro is updated.
