Abstract
Disclosed is a spindle control system of a numerical control apparatus capable of independently controlling a plurality of spindles by a plurality of paths. Connecting relationships between respective paths (11 to 14) and respective spindles (61 to 65) are defined in a region (3), the content of the region (3) is changed by a machining program to change the spindles (61 to 65) to be controlled by the respective paths (11 to 14), whereby a more effectively machining can be realized.
Claims8
A spindle control system of a numerical control apparatus capable of independently controlling a plurality of spindles by a plurality of path controllers, comprising the steps of:
- (a) defining connecting relationships between said path controllers and said respective spindles by storing the connecting relationships in a definition region in the numerical control apparatus.
- (b) changing the content of said definition region by a machining program, whereby said spindles are connected to be controlled by other of said path controllers.
A spindle control system of a numerical control apparatus capable of independently controlling a plurality of spindles by a plurality of path controllers, comprising the steps of:
- (a) defining connecting relationships between said path controllers and said respective spindles in a definition region in the numerical control apparatus;
- and
- (b) changing the content of said definition region by a machining program, whereby said spindles are connected to be controlled by other of said path controllers, wherein said machining program is a command by a G code.
A spindle control system of a numerical control apparatus capable of independently controlling a plurality of spindles by a plurality of path controllers, comprising the steps of:
- (a) defining connecting relationships between said path controllers and said respective spindles in a definition region in the numerical control apparatus, wherein the definition region is interposed between said path controllers and the I/O interfaces for said respective spindles;
- and
- (b) changing the content of said definition region by a machining program, whereby said spindles are connected to be controlled by other of said path controllers.
A spindle control system of a numerical control apparatus capable of independently controlling a plurality of spindles by a plurality of path controllers, comprising the steps of:
- (a) defining connecting relationships between said path controllers and said respective spindles in a definition region in the numerical control apparatus, wherein said path controllers can be connected to said plurality of spindles which are not connected to other paths;
- and
- (b) changing the content of said definition region by a machining program, whereby said spindles are connected to be controlled by other of said path controllers.
A method of controlling spindles with path controllers comprising the steps of:
- (a) defining in a storage the spindles to be controlled by the path controllers;
- (b) changing the spindles in the storage to be controlled by different ones of the path controllers;
- and
- (c) controlling the spindles with the ones of the path controllers as defined in the storage.
A spindle control system for controlling spindles, comprising:
- path controllers controlling the spindles;
- and
- storage means, operatively connected to said path controllers, storing a machining program and defining the spindles to be controlled by each of the path controllers.
A spindle control system for controlling spindles, comprising:
- machine storage storing machining programs;
- a numerical control apparatus operatively connected to said machine storage and comprising:
- path controllers corresponding respectively to the machining programs, and
- definition storage operatively connected to the path controllers, and storing connecting relationships between the path controllers and the spindles;
- and
- I/O interfaces, operatively connected to the spindles and to the definition storage, responsive to the connecting relationships.
