Abstract
A machine tool controlled by a numerical controller includes a feed handle for driving a drive-shaft for moving a tool and a workpiece relatively by using a mechanical mechanism and a motor for driving the drive shaft. The numerical controller generates an automatic feed command for driving the motor when a specific handle operation performed on the feed handle is detected.

A numerical controller controlling a machine tool by generating an automatic feed command for driving a motor, the machine tool including a drive shaft for moving a tool and a workpiece relatively, a feed handle for driving the drive shaft by using a mechanical mechanism, and the motor for driving the drive shaft,
- the numerical controller comprising:
- a feed handle operation determination unit that detects a specific handle operation performed on the feed handle;
- and
- an automatic feed unit that generates the automatic feed command when the specific handle operation is detected.
A numerical controller controlling a machine tool by generating an automatic feed command for driving a motor, the machine tool including a drive shaft for moving a tool and a workpiece relatively, a manual pulse generator that generates a manual feed command on the basis of a rotation amount of a handle, and the motor for driving the drive shaft according to the manual feed command,
- the numerical controller comprising:
- a feed handle operation determination unit that detects a specific handle operation performed on the manual pulse generator;
- and
- an automatic feed unit that generates the automatic feed command when the specific handle operation is detected.
