Abstract
A numerical controller which performs program restart after machining is stopped in the middle of a machining cycle is provided with a program restart unit. The numerical controller can use the program restart unit to acquire a restart position located in a machining area defined by the machining cycle, create a new machining area by dividing the defined machining area in the restart position, and restart the machining for the new machining area.
Claims4
A numerical controller which performs program restart after machining is stopped in the middle of a machining cycle and machining conditions of the machining cycle are changed, the numerical controller comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- acquire a restart position located in a machining area defined by the machining cycle,
- create a new machining area by dividing the defined machining area with respect to the restart position, the defined machining area is divided by a line that is perpendicular to a cutting direction of the machining cycle and intersects the restart position,
- create a block group of commands of the machining cycle corresponding to a new tool path for the new machining area, and based on the changed machining conditions, and
- restart the machining along the new tool path for the new machining area by executing the created block group of the machining cycle.
