Next, the editing condition setting unit 13 determines whether or not there is another processed portion to be optimized (S40).
7). More specifically, a screen for inquiring whether or not there is another processed portion to be optimized is displayed on the display device, and determination is made based on the input result by the user. When there is another processing part to be optimized (YE at S407)
S), the editing condition setting unit 13 returns to step S403 and repeats the above-described processing. On the other hand, when there is no other processed part to be optimized (NO in S407), the editing condition setting unit 13 uses the selected and set optimized condition and the processed part (block) to be optimized as the editing conditions on the display device. Is displayed on the screen (S409).

After that, it is determined whether or not the editing conditions can be decided (S411). For details, display the "Confirm" button on the screen where the editing conditions are displayed and click "Confirm".

The data receiving unit 21 sends the received editing conditions to the editing unit 24. In addition, the data receiving unit 21
Information about the NC machine tool 50 is sent to the machine tool specifying unit 22. The machine tool identifying unit 22 identifies the NC machine tool 50 connected to the user computer 10 and having a machining program optimized, based on the information about the NC machine tool 50 sent from the data receiving unit 21. Information regarding the specified NC machine tool 50 (configuration of the NC machine tool 50 such as NC machine tool type, presence / absence of options, etc.) is sent to the editing unit 24.

Then, the editing unit 24 uses the machine tool specifying unit 2
2 based on the information about the NC machine tool 50 sent from No. 2 and the editing conditions (optimization conditions and machining parts to be optimized) sent from the data receiving unit 21, the location corresponding to the editing conditions (the machining parts to be optimized). Block) is edited to create an edit processing program (S415).

Here, based on FIG. 5, step S41
The creation processing of the editing / processing program in 5 will be described in detail.

First, the editing unit 24 determines whether or not the description format of the block set as the processing region to be optimized is registered (S501). If the description format is not registered (N in S501,
O), the editing unit 24 terminates the process because further optimization is impossible. On the other hand, when the description format is registered (YES in S501), the editing unit 24 determines whether or not the optimization condition is shortening of the processing time (S503).

When the optimization condition is that the machining time is shortened (YES in S503), the editing unit 24 determines whether the feed speed is set to the maximum value in the block set as the machining region to be optimized. (S50
5). When the feed rate is set to the maximum value in the block set as the machining region to be optimized (S50
If YES, the editing unit 24 determines that further optimization is impossible and ends the process. On the other hand, when the feed rate is not set to the maximum value in the block set as the machining part to be optimized (N in S505,
O), the editing unit 24 corrects the block so that the feed rate becomes the maximum value (S507). At this time, the editing unit 24 sets the maximum value of the NC machine tool 50 corresponding to the NC machine tool 50 specified by the machine tool specifying unit 22.

When the optimization condition is not the reduction of the machining time (NO in S503), the editing unit 24 determines whether the optimization condition is improvement of the machining accuracy (S509).
When the optimization condition is the improvement of the machining accuracy (YES in S509), the editing unit 24 determines whether the feed amount is divided in the block set as the machining site to be optimized (S511). . If the optimization condition does not improve the machining accuracy (NO in S509), the editing unit 24 ends the process because it is an unknown optimization condition and optimization is impossible. When the feed amount is divided in the block set as the processing region to be optimized (YES in S511), the editing unit 24 determines that further optimization is impossible and ends the process. On the other hand, when the feed amount is not divided in the block set as the machining region to be optimized (NO in S511),
The editing unit 24 corrects the block so that the feed amount is divided (S513). At this time, the editing unit 24 corresponds to the NC machine tool 50 specified by the machine tool specifying unit 22 so that the feed amount is suitable for the NC machine tool 50 (for example, the number of divisions, one The amount of machining per feed (machining depth), the amount of feed per revolution of the spindle, etc.) is set.

By the processes of steps S501 to S513 described above, the machining program transmitted from the user computer 10 is optimized and the edited machining program is edited and created. For example, in the case of improving the processing accuracy of the block A in FIG. 10, the portion a1 in the block A is modified so that the feed amount is divided, as shown in FIG. Part a1 in block A
Is corrected so that the machining accuracy is improved by dividing the feed amount into three and reducing the feed amount per one rotation of the spindle.

Referring again to FIG. When the edit processing program is created, the editing unit 24 sends the edit processing program to the edit processing program transmission unit 25. The editing / editing program transmission unit 25 sends the editing / editing program sent from the editing unit 24 to the user-side computer 10 via the communication network N (S417).

The data receiving section 15 receives the editing / editing program transmitted from the host computer 20, and sends the received editing / editing program to the editing / editing program registration section 16. The editing / processing program registration unit 16 displays the contents of the editing / processing program transmitted from the host computer 20 on the display device of the user-side computer 10 (S419).

After that, the editing / processing program registration unit 16
Determines whether or not the editing process program may be adopted (S421). More specifically, the “adopt” button is displayed on the screen on which the editing / processing program is displayed, and determination is made based on whether or not the “adopt” button has been clicked. When the edit processing program may be adopted (S421
, YES), the editing and machining program registration unit 16 stores the editing and machining program in the machining program storage unit 12 (S423). When the edit processing program cannot be adopted (NO in S421), the edit processing program registration unit 16 deletes the edit processing program (S42).
5), the process ends.

Here, based on FIG. 6, step S42
The editing / storing program registration and storage processing in No. 3 will be described in detail.

First, the editing / processing program registration section 16
It is determined whether or not to optimize the tool (S60).
1). Specifically, a screen for inquiring whether or not to consider optimization of the tool is displayed on the display device, and it is determined based on which of the “YES” button and the “NO” button displayed on the screen is clicked. To do. Depending on the user, "Y
When the "ES" button is clicked, it is considered that optimization of the tool is considered, and the edit machining program registration unit 16 sends the information about the currently set tool to the data transmission unit 14, and the data transmission unit 14 edits it. Information on the currently set tool transmitted from the machining program registration unit 16 is transmitted to the host computer 20 via the communication network N (S603). On the other hand, depending on the user, "N
When the "O" button is clicked, it is determined that the optimization of the tool is not considered, and the editing / machining program registration unit 16 stores the editing / machining program in the machining program storage unit 12 (S619), and ends the processing.

The data receiving section 21 sends the received information about the currently set tool to the editing section 24. When the information about the currently set tool is received, the editing unit 24 searches the tool library stored in the tool library storage unit 23 (S605), and the NC specified by the machine tool specifying unit 22 is searched. It is determined whether or not an optimum tool that can be set in the machine tool 50 and that can replace the currently set tool is registered in the tool library (S607).

When the optimum tool that can be replaced is registered (YES in S607), the editing unit 24 causes the NC machine tool 50 specified by the machine tool specifying unit 22.
A tool that can be set to and that can be replaced with the currently set tool is selected from the tool library storage unit 23, and the corresponding location in the editing condition based on the selected tool (instruction of machining by the tool Block for editing) to newly create an editing / machining program corresponding to the tool change (S609). For example, when changing to a sharp drill, the portion a2 in the block A is modified from "S1000" to "S2000" so as to increase the rotation speed of the spindle, as shown in FIG.

Referring again to FIG. When a new editing program required to change the tool is created,
The editing unit 24 edits the machining program corresponding to the tool change and information about the selected tool (tool model number, manufacturer,
(Features, etc.) to the editing / processing program transmission unit 25.
The editing / machining program transmitting unit 25 transmits the editing / machining program corresponding to the tool change sent from the editing unit 24 and the information on the selected tool to the user computer 10 via the communication network N (S611).

The data receiving section 15 receives the editing / machining program corresponding to the tool change and the selected tool information transmitted from the host computer 20, and relates to the editing / machining program corresponding to the received tool change and the selected tool. The information is sent to the editing / processing program registration unit 16. The editing / machining program registration unit 16 stores the contents of the editing / machining program corresponding to the tool change transmitted from the host computer 20 and the information on the selected tool,
It is displayed on the display device of the user-side computer 10 (S613). For example, on the screen P6 showing information on the selected tool, as shown in FIG. 14, information on the currently set tool and information on the selected tool are displayed.

After that, the editing / processing program registration unit 16
Adopts the edit machining program corresponding to the tool change, that is, determines whether or not the tool may be changed (S61).
5). For details, display the "Change" button on the screen that displays information about the selected tool and click "Change".
The judgment is based on whether or not the button is clicked. You may adopt an edit machining program that supports tool changes,
That is, if the tool may be changed (YES in S615, YE
S), the edit machining program registration unit 16 stores the edit machining program corresponding to the tool change in the machining program storage unit 12
To be stored (S617). If the edit machining program corresponding to the tool change is not adopted, that is, if the tool is not changed (NO in S615), the process proceeds to step S619, and the edit machining program registration unit 16 does not send the edit machining program corresponding to the tool change but previously transmitted. The edited editing program (the editing program that does not correspond to the tool change) is stored in the editing program storage unit 12.

When the optimum replaceable tool is not registered (NO in S607), the editing unit 24 sends the information indicating that the change of the tool is unnecessary to the editing / machining program transmitting unit 25. The edit processing program transmission unit 25
Communication network N provides information that no tool changes are required.
To the user side computer 10 via.

The data receiving section 15 receives the information indicating that the tool change is not required, which is transmitted from the host computer 20, and edits the received information indicating that the tool change is not necessary, to the edit machining program registration section 16. Send to. The editing / machining program registration unit 16 determines, based on the information transmitted from the host computer 20 that the tool need not be changed.
The user side computer 10 confirms that the current tool is optimal.
Is displayed on the display device of (S621) and step S6.
In step 19, the editing / machining program registration unit 16 stores the previously transmitted editing / machining program (editing / machining program not compatible with tool change) with the editing / machining program storage unit 12.
To memorize.

As described above, according to this embodiment, when the editing condition is transmitted from the user side computer 10 to the host computer 20 via the communication network N, the host computer 20 creates an editing process program. . At this time, the editing unit 24 edits the portion corresponding to the transmitted editing condition based on the transmitted editing condition, thereby creating the editing processing program. In this way, the user computer 10 (NC
The machining program stored in the machine tool 50) is used to edit the machining conditions of the operator (for example, machining time or machining accuracy).
Since it can be corrected in accordance with, the worker can quickly obtain a machining program that reflects his or her intention.

Since the host computer 20 can edit a machining program created in advance on the user side computer 10 side and incorporating the user's know-how, the editing and machining program also includes the user know-how. Therefore, a useful program for the user can be obtained.

Further, in the present embodiment, the editing condition set by the editing condition setting unit 13 includes the processed portion specified in the target processed product. As a result, the processing conditions are changed for the desired processing portion, so that an edit processing program capable of performing efficient processing can be easily obtained.
