Machine tool, method for editing machining program for machine tool, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

A machine tool comprising:

• a memory to store tool information specifying at least one tool mountable on a machine tool;
• at least one display configured to display a program editing window and at least one assistance window, the program editing window showing a program code of the machining program to control the machine tool, each of the at least one assistance window selectively showing the tool information and a control method, the tool being to be controlled according to the control method, the control method comprising an M06 command which is a tool exchange command, the tool information comprising T numbers each specifying which tool of the at least one tool or no tool is to be mounted on a tool spindle in the program code, the at least one assistance window including one assistance window in which an input button, a M06 command input button, and a table of the at least one tool are shown;
• an interface via which selected information is selected from the tool information when the tool information is shown in the at least one assistance window and via which an insertion position at which a new code is to be inserted into the program code is input, the selected information including a selected tool selected from table via the interface;
• and
• circuitry configured
• to convert the selected tool into a T code specifying a T number corresponding to the selected tool and to insert the T code into the program code at the insertion position upon an input to the input button via the interface, and
• to insert the M06 command into the program code at the insertion position upon an input to the M06 command input button via the interface.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a machining program, the machining program causing a computer including a processor to execute processing comprising:

• obtaining tool information specifying at least one tool mountable on a machine tool;
• displaying a program editing window and at least one assistance window, the program editing window showing a program code of the machining program to control the machine tool, each of the at least one assistance window selectively showing the tool information and a control method, the tool being to be controlled according to the control method, the control method comprising an M06 command which is a tool exchange command, the tool information comprising T numbers each specifying which tool of the at least one tool or no tool is to be mounted on a tool spindle in the program code, the at least one assistance window including one assistance window in which an input button, a M06 command input button, and a table of the at least one tool are shown;
• specifying, in the program code, an insertion position at which a new code is to be inserted into the program code;
• obtaining a selected tool from the table via an interfaces;
• converting, using the processor, the selected tool into a T code specifying a T number corresponding to the selected tool upon an input to the input button via the interface;
• inserting, using the processor, the T code into the program code at the insertion position upon the input to the input button;
• and
• inserting, using the processor, the M06 command into the program code at the insertion position upon an input to the M06 command input button via the interface.
