Abstract
A numerical control device for compound machine tool has an interactive facility software to enable a working program and various sorts of data to be input in an interactive form. With the interactive facility software, various sorts of data such as a tool compensation amount required for a working operation and a work coordinate system can be read at any time by accessing to a memory storing a lathe turning control software and a milling control software.
Claims11
A method of working a material with a compound machine tool, comprising:
- creating automatically a working program for a first type of working of a material by the compound machine tool or a second type of working of the material by the compound machine tool,
- wherein data for the first type of working and the second type of working are collectively displayable on a same window.
The method of working a material according to clam 1, further comprising displaying a graphic of the material on the same window.
A computer-readable storage storing a computer-readable program which controls a computer system to execute a method comprising:
- creating automatically a working program for a first type of working of a material by the compound machine tool or a second type of working of the material by the compound machine tool,
- wherein data for the first type of working and the second type of working are collectively displayable on a same window.
