Abstract
A postprocessor device outputs a machining program for controlling a CNC machine tool. The postprocessor device includes: a characteristic shape recognition unit configured to read information about a characteristic shape to be machined from cutter location data including information about a characteristic shape; a section setting unit configured to set one or more set sections on a tool path in response to the information about the characteristic shape; and a motion generation unit configured to generate a machining program including instruction for changing at least one parameter to be used for controlling at least one axis of the CNC machine tool outside the set section and inside the set section.
Claims9
A postprocessor device that outputs a machining program for controlling a CNC machine tool, comprising:
- a characteristic shape recognition unit configured to read information about a characteristic shape to be machined from cutter location data (CL data) including information about a characteristic shape;
- a section setting unit configured to set one or more set sections on a tool path in response to the information about the characteristic shape;
- and
- a motion generation unit configured to generate a machining program including instruction for changing at least one parameter to be used for controlling at least one axis of the CNC machine tool outside the set section and inside the set section.
A machining program generation method implemented by a postprocessor device that outputs a machining program for controlling a CNC machine tool, comprising:
- a step of reading information about a characteristic shape to be machined from cutter location data (CL data) including information about a characteristic shape;
- a step of setting one or more set sections on a tool path in response to the information about the characteristic shape;
- and
- a step of generating a machining program including instruction for changing at least one parameter to be used for controlling at least one axis of the CNC machine tool outside the set section and inside the set section.
A non-transitory computer-readable information storage medium storing a program for machining program generation that causes a computer functioning as a postprocessor device that outputs a machining program for controlling a CNC machine tool to perform:
- a process of reading information about a characteristic shape to be machined from cutter location data (CL data) including information about a characteristic shape;
- a process of setting one or more set sections on a tool path in response to the information about the characteristic shape;
- and
- a process of generating a machining program including instruction for changing at least one parameter to be used for controlling at least one axis of the CNC machine tool outside the set section and inside the set section.
