Abstract
A control device for a machine tool, said control device being provided with a display unit that displays machining information and a display control unit that generates an image to display on said display unit. The display control unit is designed so as to divide up the display region of the display unit, generating a plurality of subregions. Via input from an operator, the sizes of said subregions can be changed. The display control unit changes the display format of the machining information in accordance with the machining information to be displayed and the sizes of the subregions.
Claims6
A control device of a machine tool which machines a workpiece by relatively moving a tool and the workpiece, comprising:
- a display part which displays machining information associated with machining of the workpiece;
- and
- a display control part which generates an image to be displayed on the display part, wherein
- the display control part is formed in such a manner as to generate a plurality of partition areas by partitioning a display area of the display part and allow the machining information to be displayed in the partition areas,
- the partition area has a size capable of being changed in accordance with an operation by an operator, and
- the display control part changes a display format of the machining information in accordance with the size of the partition area and the machining information to be displayed.
A control device of a machine tool which machines a workpiece by relatively moving a tool and the workpiece, comprising:
- a display part which displays machining information associated with machining of the workpiece;
- and
- a display control part which generates an image to be displayed on the display part, wherein
- the display control part is formed in such a manner as to generate a plurality of partition areas by partitioning a display area of the display part in accordance with a predetermined number of partitions, display a splitter at a border of the partition areas, and allows a current position image containing current position information of a feed axis to be displayed,
- the partition area has a size capable of being continuously changed by moving the splitter through a touch panel or a pointing device,
- the current position information includes at least one of a coordinate value of a machine coordinate system, a coordinate value of an absolute coordinate system, a coordinate value of a relative coordinate system, and a remaining movement amount, and
- when the size of the partition area in which the current position image is displayed is changed, the display control part changes a character size or the number of the coordinate systems displayed in one row in accordance with the size of the partition area.
