Abstract
By implementing a sequence control in a numerical control, tool-related machining operations and position elements are executed depending on the technology-dependent sequence in the machining program so that all cycles of a machining operation are selected consecutively as modal cycles, with all cycles being selected consecutively for a position element for each cycle for a machining operation, and the respective operation being executed at the position of the respective position element prior to the following cycle being selected as a modal cycle for an operation. Thus unnecessary tool changes are avoided and therefore machining productivity is increased.
Claims13
A numerical control arrangement, comprising:
- a machining program comprising tool-related operations and position elements, the operations and position elements being associated with machining tasks;
- and
- a sequence control using cycles, the operations and the position elements associated with each of the machining tasks being executable according to the sequence control depending on a technology-dependent sequence in the machining program, each cycle for each respective one of the operations being selected as a modal cycle, all cycles for each respective one of the position elements being selected consecutively for a machining object, each respective one of the operations taking place at a position of the respective one of the position elements prior to a following cycle being selected for one of the operations as a model cycle.
A numerical control arrangement, comprising:
