US 2018/0292805 A1 · WARM UP OPERATION PLANNING DEVICE AND WARM UP OPERATION PLANNING METHOD

Abstract

A warm up operation planning device that generates a warm up operation plan for a machine tool comprises: a warm up operation program memory in which at least one warm up operation program is stored; a machining plan input unit that inputs a machining plan for a work in a predetermined period; a warm up operation program selection unit that selects the warm up operation program responsive to the state of the machine tool; a warm up operation duration determination unit that determines a warm up operation duration in response to the work; and a warm up operation planning unit that calculates start time and finish time of warm up operation based on the machining plan. The warm up operation program selection unit selects the warm up operation program responsive to the work from the warm up operation program memory.

Dependent claims

A warm up operation planning device that generates a warm up operation plan for a machine tool for machining on a work as a machining target, comprising:

a warm up operation program memory in which association is recorded between at least one warm up operation program, work information, and a warm up operation duration set in advance in the warm up operation program;
a machining plan input unit that inputs a machining plan for a work to be machined by the machine tool;
a warm up operation program selection unit that selects the warm up operation program recorded in the warm up operation program memory based on the machining plan;
a warm up operation duration determination unit that calculates a warm up operation duration based on the warm up operation program selected by the warm up operation program selection unit;
a warm up operation planning unit that generates a warm up operation plan for the machine tool by calculating start time and finish time of warm up operation based on the input machining plan and the warm up operation duration determined by the warm up operation duration determination unit;
and
a warm up operation schedule memory that stores the warm up operation plan.
