Abstract
Provided are: a numerical control device with which it is possible to easily perform a cutting process; a control method; and a processing program. The numerical control device comprises: a processing program analysis unit that analyzes commands that a machine tool can perform simultaneously, from one line of the processing program for commanding the machine tool before and after the cutting process; and a simultaneous operation control unit that uses the analyzed commands that can be performed simultaneously, combines the operations that the machine tool can perform simultaneously, and controls the commanded simultaneous operations.
Claims7
A numerical control device comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- analyze commands simultaneously executable by a machine tool from a one-line machining program for commanding the machine tool before and after cutting;
- and
- use the analyzed simultaneously-executable commands to control simultaneous operation commanded according to a combination of the commands simultaneously executable by the machine tool,
- wherein a step of performing the simultaneous operation includes replacement of a cutting tool of the machine tool, a tool system command before, during, and after the replacement of the cutting tool, an axial system command before, during, and after axis movement, cutting fluid control, additional axis control, and peripheral device control.
A method for controlling a numerical control device, comprising:
- a step of analyzing commands simultaneously executable by a machine tool from a one-line machining program for commanding the machine tool before and after cutting;
- and
- a step of using the analyzed simultaneously-executable commands to control simultaneous operation commanded according to a combination of the commands simultaneously executable by the machine tool,
- wherein a step of performing the simultaneous operation includes replacement of a cutting tool of the machine tool, a tool system command before, during, and after the replacement of the cutting tool, an axial system command before, during, and after axis movement, cutting fluid control, additional axis control, and peripheral device control.
