Smart programming method for integrated CNC-robot

A programming apparatus for a numerical control machine tool system, the numerical control machine tool system including a mobile terminal, a controller, a robot, and a numerical control machine tool, the mobile terminal being wirelessly connected to the controller, the controller being configured to control the robot and the numerical control machine tool, and the robot and the numerical control machine tool being configured to work cooperatively to process a workpiece, wherein the programming apparatus comprises:

• a collecting circuit configured to collect motion data of the robot and the numerical control machine tool in different modes;
• a constructing circuit configured to construct a preset motion model based on the collected motion data of the robot and the numerical control machine tool in different modes;
• a loading circuit configured to load, at the mobile terminal, the preset motion model of the robot and the numerical control machine tool, the preset motion model being a plurality of graphical functional modules and a connection between the plurality of graphical functional modules;
• a receiving circuit configured to receive a graphical programming instruction from a user that adjusts the preset motion model using the mobile terminal;
• a communication circuit configured to
• generate a simulation animation based on the graphical programming instruction by transmitting the graphical programming instruction to a cloud and receiving the simulation animation from the cloud;
• and
• a conversion circuit configured to convert the graphical programming instruction into G-code, the G-code being usable by the controller to control the robot and the numerical control machine tool to process the workpiece.
