Abstract
Provided is a numerical control device whereby the execution state of a program can be more intuitively confirmed. This numerical control device, which controls a machine tool on the basis of a program, comprises: a program execution unit having a prescribed function for executing a program in response to the rotation of a manual handle of the machine tool; an execution state identification unit that identifies the execution state of the program; and a haptic controller that generates haptic feedback in the manual handle on the basis of the prescribed function and the execution state of the program.
Claims4
A numerical control device for controlling a machine tool based on a program, the numerical control device comprising:
- a program execution section having a predetermined function of executing the program according to rotation of a manual handle of the machine tool;
- an execution state specification section which specifies an execution state of the program;
- and
- a haptic control section which causes haptic feedback to be generated in the manual handle based on the predetermined function and the execution state of the program.
