Abstract
Disclosed is a numerical controller that recognizes a range between a machining command for a tool number previously designated by an NC program for machining control and a machining command for the next tool number as a single machining process, generates a machining cycle command from the recognized single machining process, and generates an NC program in which the single machining process on the NC program is replaced by the generated machining cycle command.
Claims10
A numerical controller that performs machining control by using an NC program, the numerical controller comprising:
- a single machining process recognition section that recognizes a range between a machining command for a tool number previously designated by the NC program and a machining command for the next tool number as a single machining process;
- a machining cycle generation section that generates a machining cycle command from the single machining process recognized by the single machining process recognition section;
- and
- an NC program generation section that generates an NC program in which the single machining process on the NC program is replaced by the machining cycle command generated by the machining cycle generation section.
A program editing method for generating an NC program that is partly replaced by a machining cycle command, the program editing method comprising the steps of:
- recognizing a range between a machining command for a tool number previously designated by the NC program and a machining command for the next tool number as a single machining process;
- generating a machining cycle command from the recognized single machining process;
- and
- generating an NC program in which the single machining process on the NC program is replaced by the machining cycle command.
