Abstract
This numerical controller is for controlling a work machine having at least a first axis and a second axis. The numerical controller controls the synchronization of the first axis and the second axis of the machine tool; acquires a cutting start position for a tool of the machine tool; stores tool information relating to the tool; calculates a monitoring start position obtained by correcting the cutting start position on the basis of a tool shape stored in the tool information; and begins monitoring a synchronization error between the first axis and the second axis when the tool of the work machine reaches or approaches the monitoring start position.
Claims5
A numerical controller for controlling a machine tool having at least a first axis and a second axis, comprising:
- a synchronization control unit that controls synchronization between the first axis and the second axis;
- a cutting start position acquisition unit that acquires a cutting start position of a tool of the machine tool;
- a tool information storage unit that stores tool information that is about the tool of the machine tool;
- a monitoring start position correction unit that calculates a monitoring start position which is the cutting start position corrected based on a shape of the tool included in the tool information;
- and
- a synchronization error monitoring unit start monitoring a synchronization error at the monitoring start position or its vicinity of the tool of the machine tool.
A storage medium for storing a computer-readable command that is executed by one or more processors to perform:
- controlling a first axis and a second axis of a machine tool;
- acquiring a cutting start position of a tool of the machine tool;
- storing tool information that is about the tool;
- calculating a monitoring start position which is the cutting start position corrected based on a shape of the tool included in the tool information;
- and
- starting monitoring a synchronization error between the first axis and the second axis when the tool of the machine tool reaches or approaches the monitoring start position.
