Abstract
To provide a numerical controller capable of performing synchronous control and superimposed control easily with respect to a machine having a complicated configuration. A numerical controller comprises: an elements relationship setting unit that sets a relationship between a first element and a second element; an elements relationship output calculation unit that calculates a relationship output from the relationship between the first element and the second element; and an elements relationship control unit that performs relationship control on the basis of the relationship output.
Claims21
A numerical controller comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor, wherein the processor executes a program stored in the memory to perform operations comprising:
- setting a relationship between a first element and a second element;
- calculating a relationship output from the relationship between the first element and the second element;
- performing relationship control on the basis of the relationship output;
- and
- moving a first workpiece or tool associated with the first element and a second workpiece or tool associated with the second element based on the relationship control,
- wherein machine configuration information is included in a tree-structure graph form, and a control point and a coordinate system are defined in all nodes of the tree-structure graph, and
- wherein the first element and the second element are the control point or the coordinate system defined in the nodes of the tree-structure graph.
