Machine tool control device

Abstract

Provided is a machine tool control device with which it is possible to suppress acceleration/deceleration energy during a swing process in accordance with a purpose or application. A machine tool control device 1 comprises: a swing-condition-setting unit 11 that sets a swing condition; a swing condition calculation unit 12 that calculates a swing condition different from the aforementioned swing condition in order to reduce acceleration/deceleration energy required for a swing operation determined according to the aforementioned swing condition; a swing condition selection unit 13 that selects any one of the swing conditions set by each of the swing-condition-setting unit 11 and the swing condition calculation unit 12; a swing command calculation unit 14 that calculates a swing command on the basis of the swing condition selected by the swing condition selection unit 13; and a control unit (position control unit 18, speed/current control unit 19) that, on the basis of a movement command on which the swing command is superposed, causes a workpiece and a tool to swing relative to one another.
