Abstract
A numerical control apparatus comprising a display device capable of displaying not only the configuration of a workpiece to be machined and the machining paths of machining tools relative to the workpiece but also the movement of the workpiece as a machining path of relative movement of the machining tool with respect to a stationary workpiece. The machining path of the relative movement of the machining tool is obtained based on data representing the movement of the workpiece per se.
Claims4
A numerical control apparatus comprising:
- a data inputting means for inputting data representing the configuration of a workpiece to be machined, machining paths of machining tools relative to said workpiece and the movement of said workpiece;
- a memory means for storing said data inputted by said data inputting means;
- a display means for displaying the configuration of said workpiece and said machining path according to said data read out from said memory means;
- and
- a central processing unit for controlling the operation of said memory means and for controlling said display means so as to display not only the configuration of said workpiece and the machining paths of said machining tools relative to said workpiece, but also the movement of said workpiece as a machining path, said movement of said machining tool being relative to a stationary workpiece, data representing said machining path of relative movement of said machining tool being obtained based on said data representing the movement of said workpiece.
