Abstract
A control device for a machine tool for machining a workpiece while moving a rotating tool relative to the workpiece, the device being provided with: an input information-reading unit for reading input information, which comprises a path along the contour of the workpiece or the tool path of a first rotating tool that follows the external form of the workpiece; and a path-setting unit for converting the input information read by the input information-reading unit to generate a tool path for performing the machining using the end cutting edge of a second rotating tool.
Claims5
A control device of a machine tool in which a rotary tool is moved relative to a workpiece to machine the workpiece, comprising:
- an input information reading unit which reads an input information including a path which passes a contour of the workpiece or a tool path of a first rotary tool along an outline of the workpiece;
- and
- a path setting unit which converts the input information read by the input information reading unit and generates a tool path in which machining is performed by using an end cutting edge of a second rotary tool.
