Abstract
To provide processing information to a CAM that generates an NC program of a processing machine for processing an object to be processed with a tool, a processing support system comprises, in a cloud storage device installed on a processing tool manufacturer side, a user knowledge database of a storage unit that stores processing information so as to be unshareble with other users and a sharing knowledge database of the storage unit that stores processing information so as to be sharable with other user, wherein a user side transmits and receives, by a transmitting/receiving unit, extended STEP-NC data of processing information via a network.
Claims3
A machining support system which is constituted on both a machine tool user side and a machine tool manufacturing side and in which machining information is supplied from the both sides so as to generate a machining program of a machine tool for machining a workpiece with a tool based on machining information prepared in advance, the machining support system comprising:
- a transmitting/receiving unit for transmitting and receiving machining information between the machine tool user side and the machine tool manufacturer side via a network,
- a first storage unit for storing the machining information for each user so as to be non-shareable, and
- a second storage unit for storing the machining information so as to be shareable with other users.
