Abstract
To provide a control system of a machine tool that enables a changed parameter to be reflected to a machine side in an arbitrary timing according to a worker's intention. A control system of a machine tool automated by reflecting a parameter by computerized numerical control, includes a storage unit that, when the parameter is changed, stores the parameter thus changed as a changed parameter, a changed parameter reflection condition setting unit that sets a condition for reflecting the changed parameter, and a changed parameter reflection unit that, when the condition is detected, reflects the changed parameter not yet reflected.
Claims8
A control system of a machine tool automated by computerized numerical control, the control system comprising a processor, the processor being configured to:
- store a parameter as a changed parameter in a non-transitory, computer readable storage when the parameter is changed;
- store a trigger for reflecting the changed parameter in the non-transitory, computer readable storage in advance, the trigger being associated with a specific operation corresponding to the changed parameter and excluding an operation state in which reflecting the changed parameter causes an unstable state of the machine tool;
- detect a condition of the machine tool;
- determine whether the detected condition satisfies the trigger;
- reflect the stored changed parameter to the machine tool when it is determined that the detected condition satisfies the trigger so as to
- automatically control the machine tool based on the reflected parameter, whereas
- prevent reflecting the stored changed parameter to the machine tool when it is determined that the detected condition does not satisfy the trigger.
