Abstract
In a numerical control system including a numerical controller having a tool database and a tool catalog database which can be referred to from the numerical controller, the tool catalog database has tool catalog data including first cutting condition data, and the tool database has tool data including second cutting condition data to be used for machining. After execution of the machining, the numerical controller updates the first cutting condition data to be stored in the tool catalog database based on the second cutting condition data stored in the tool database.
Claims6
A numerical control system comprising:
- a numerical controller having a tool database in which data of a tool to be used for machining is stored;
- and
- a tool catalog database which is shared among a plurality of machines and which can be referred to from the numerical controller,
- wherein the tool catalog database has at least one piece of tool catalog data including first cutting condition data,
- the tool database has at least one piece of tool data including second cutting condition data to be used for the machining, and
- after execution of the machining, the first cutting condition data to be stored in the tool catalog database is updated based on the second cutting condition data which is stored in the tool database and which is to be used for the machining.
A numerical control system comprising:
- a numerical controller having a tool database in which data of a tool to be used for machining is stored and a machining program;
- and
- a tool catalog database which is shared among a plurality of machines and which can be referred to from the numerical controller,
- wherein the tool catalog database has at least one piece of tool catalog data including first cutting condition data,
- the tool database has at least one piece of tool data including second cutting condition data,
- the machining program has third cutting condition data to be used for the machining, and
- after execution of the machining, the first cutting condition data to be stored in the tool catalog database is updated by the third cutting condition data and data not included in the third cutting condition data among the second cutting condition data.
