Abstract
A numerical control device for compound machine tool has an interactive facility software to enable a working program and various sorts of data to be input in an interactive form. With the interactive facility software, various sorts of data such as a tool compensation amount required for a working operation and a work coordinate system can be read at any time by accessing to a memory storing a lathe turning control software and a milling control software.
Claims9
A numerical control device of interactive type for a compound machine tool that performs lathe turning and milling, comprising:
- a lathe turning control software;
- a milling control software;
- and
- an interactive facility controlling software for supporting an input operation for said lathe turning and said milling;
- wherein lathe turning data and milling data are separately inputted and displayed on the same screen under the control of said interactive facility controlling software.
A numerical control device of an interactive type for a compound machine tool, comprising:
- a first software for a first type of working of a material;
- a second software for a second type of working of the material;
- and
- an interactive facility controlling software for supporting an input operation for the first type of working and the second type of working;
- wherein first data for the first type of working and second data for the second type of working are separately inputted and displayable on a single window under a control of the interactive facility controlling software.
