Abstract
A personal computer for setting of parameters of a machine tool acquires adjusted parameters, adjusted by a numerical controller or a simulator, from the numerical controller or the simulator, makes a comparison between an axis configuration of the machine tool set up by a user and an axis configuration of the adjusted parameter adjusted by the numerical controller or the simulator, and converts the axis configuration of the adjusted parameters into the axis configuration set up by the user.
Claims12
A parameter setting device for a target machine tool having a plurality of axes, the parameter setting device comprising:
- a processor configured to
- receive settings of a machine configuration of the target machine tool which includes an axis configuration of the plurality of axes,
- acquire adjusted parameters whose values have been adjusted to a pre-existing machine tool, the adjusted parameters corresponding to a plurality of axes in an axis configuration of the pre-existing machine tool,
- detect a difference between the axis configuration of the target machine tool and the axis configuration of the pre-existing machine tool, and
- convert the axis configuration of the pre-existing machine tool to the target machine tool by resetting one or more values of the adjusted parameters corresponding to each axis of the pre-existing machine tool to one or more values of parameters of a respective axis of the target machine tool, based on the difference between the axis configurations of the target machine tool and the pre-existing machine tool.
A parameter setting system for a first machine tool having a plurality of axes, the parameter setting system comprising:
- a machine configuration reception unit configured to receive settings of a machine configuration of the first machine tool which includes an axis configuration of the plurality of axes;
- an adjusted parameter acquisition unit configured to acquire adjusted parameters whose values have been adjusted to a second machine tool, the adjusted parameters corresponding to a plurality of axes in an axis configuration of the second machine tool;
- and
- an axis configuration conversion unit configured to
- detect a difference between the axis configuration of the first machine tool and the axis configuration of the second machine tool, and
- convert the axis configuration of the second machine tool to the first machine tool by resetting one or more values of the adjusted parameters corresponding to each axis of the second machine tool to one or more values of parameters of a respective axis of the first machine tool, based on the difference between the axis configurations of the first machine tool and the second machine tool.
A parameter setting method for a first machine tool having a plurality of axes, the parameter setting method comprising:
- receiving settings of a machine configuration of the first machine tool which includes an axis configuration of the plurality of axes;
- acquiring adjusted parameters whose values have been adjusted to a second machine tool, the adjusted parameters corresponding to a plurality of axes in an axis configuration of the second machine tool;
- detecting a difference between the axis configuration of the first machine tool and the axis configuration of the second machine tool;
- and
- converting the axis configuration of the second machine tool to the first machine tool by resetting one or more values of the adjusted parameters corresponding to each axis of the second machine tool to one or more values of parameters of a respective axis of the first machine tool, based on the difference between the axis configurations of the first machine tool and the second machine tool.
