Abstract
A program editing device includes a mist amount acquiring unit that acquires a mist amount; a period detecting unit that detects a first period during which a mist collector is operating while the mist amount is smaller than a first threshold; and a program editing unit that automatically edits a machining program so that the mist collector does not operate in the first period.
Claims14
A program editing device that edits a machining program configured to control an operation of a mist collector of a machine tool, the machine tool including a machining device configured to machine a workpiece, and the mist collector configured to collect mist present in a machining area of the machining device, the program editing device comprising:
- a mist amount acquisition unit configured to acquire an amount of the mist collected by the mist collector based on a detection signal of a first mist sensor;
- a period detection unit configured to detect a first period in which the mist collector operates in a state in which the amount of the mist is less than a first threshold;
- and
- a program editing unit configured to automatically edit the machining program in order for the mist collector not to operate during the first period.
A program editing method for editing a machining program configured to control an operation of a mist collector of a machine tool, the machine tool including a machining device configured to machine a workpiece, and the mist collector configured to collect mist present in a machining area of the machining device, the method comprising:
- a mist amount acquisition step of acquiring an amount of the mist collected by the mist collector based on a detection signal of a first mist sensor;
- a first period detection step of detecting a first period in which the mist collector operates in a state in which the amount of the mist is less than a first threshold;
- and
- a program editing step in which a computer automatically edits the machining program in order for the mist collector not to operate during the first period.
