Abstract
An apparatus for calculating an operating time of a measuring machine, includes: a part program storing unit storing a part program; a command analyzing unit extracting commands relating to movement of a measurement probe from the part program stored in the part program storing unit, calculating operating times required for the measuring machine to implement the respective extracted commands, on the basis of movement parameters for the movement of said measurement probe, and summing up the calculated operating times to calculate a total operating time from a start of measurement to an end of measurement; and a displaying unit displaying the total operating time thus calculated by the command analyzing unit.
Claims17
An apparatus for calculating an operating time of a measuring machine, comprising:
- part program storing means for storing a part program;
- command analyzing means for extracting commands relating to movement of a measurement probe from the part program stored in said part program storing means, calculating operating times required for the measuring machine to implement the respective extracted commands, on the basis of movement parameters for the movement of said measurement probe, and summing up the calculated operating times to calculate a total operating time from a start of measurement to an end of measurement;
- and
- displaying means for displaying the total operating time thus calculated by said command analyzing means.
A medium recording therein a program for calculating an operating time of a measuring machine, the program comprising the steps of:
- reading out a part program stored in storing means;
- extracting commands relating to movement of a measurement probe from the part program;
- calculating operating times required for the measuring machine to implement the respective extracted commands, on the basis of movement parameters for movement of the measurement probe,
- summing up the calculated operating times so as to calculate a total operating time from a start of measurement to an end of measurement, and
- displaying the calculated total operating time on a displaying unit.
