Abstract
A controller teaches a teaching point of a slave axis corresponding to a master axis so as to perform a synchronous operation. The controller calculates a teaching range based on one moving speed pattern selected from a plurality of moving speed patterns of the master axis which are preliminarily registered, a preliminarily-set allowable speed in an operation of the slave axis, and a calculated teaching range, in which teaching can be performed, of a following teaching point, so as to display the teaching range on a display device.
Claims8
A controller which teaches a teaching point of one or more slave axes corresponding to a master axis so as to perform a synchronous operation, the controller comprising:
- a master axis moving speed pattern selection unit that selects a moving speed pattern of the master axis that is preliminarily registered;
- a slave axis allowable speed setting unit that preliminarily sets an allowable speed in an operation of the slave axis;
- a teaching point range calculation unit that calculates a teaching range of a following teaching point in which teaching can be performed;
- and
- a teaching point range information display unit that displays, on a display device, the teaching range calculated by the teaching point range calculation unit;
- wherein
- the teaching point range calculation unit is configured to calculate the teaching range based on the moving speed pattern of the master axis that is selected by the master axis moving speed pattern selection unit, the allowable speed in an operation of the slave axis that is set by the slave axis allowable speed setting unit, and positions of past teaching points of the master axis and the slave axis.
