Link information generation device, link information generation method, and non-transitory computer-readable medium storing link information generation program

A link information generation method executed by one, or two or more computers, the method comprising:

• an information acquisition step of acquiring information about an execution position and a machining position in a machining program for a machine tool that executes machining on a workpiece by moving a tool and the workpiece relative to each other based on the machining program,
• the information acquisition step comprising at least one of a machining information acquisition step of acquiring machining information at the execution position in the machining program, and a machine information acquisition step of acquiring machine information about the machining state of the machine tool at the execution position in the machining program;
• a workpiece image acquisition step of acquiring image information about the workpiece;
• an optical feature setting step of setting an image area having an optical feature in the image information about the workpiece acquired in the workpiece image acquisition step;
• and
• a link information generation step of generating link information containing association between the image area having the optical feature, and at least one of the machining information and the machine information about a workpiece area associated with the image area.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a link information generation program for causing one, or two or more computers to execute:

• an information acquisition step of acquiring information about an execution position and a machining position in a machining program for a machine tool that executes machining on a workpiece by moving a tool and the workpiece relative to each other based on the machining program,
• the information acquisition step comprising at least one of a machining information acquisition step of acquiring machining information at the execution position in the machining program, and a machine information acquisition step of acquiring machine information about the machining state of the machine tool at the execution position in the machining program;
• a workpiece image acquisition step of acquiring image information about the workpiece;
• an optical feature setting step of setting an image area having an optical feature in the image information about the workpiece acquired in the workpiece image acquisition step;
• and
• a link information generation step of generating link information containing association between the image area having the optical feature, and at least one of the machining information and the machine information about a workpiece area associated with the image area.
