Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten a setting time and to prevent a setting error by emphasizing and displaying a position on a setting picture corresponding to the data to show a cursor on a data setting picture and controlling to display a confirming picture based on the set data. CONSTITUTION:When an operator operates the key of a control panel 1 and for example, a cursor is moved to an 'inclination angle right' on a data setting picture, 'the lower DR' on a guide picture flickers, the color of a dimension line to show 'FDR' is changed, and therefore, the operator confirms the relation between the name and position of a parameter instantaneously and can suitably set a parameter. After the setting of the parameter is completed, the operator operates the key of the control panel 1, displays the confirming drawing and can easily confirm the correction of the set parameter data. At this time, when no necessary data are all set, a warning is executed by an error message, etc., and therefore, the setting omission can be easily confirmed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an NC device for a numerically controlled (hereinafter referred to as NG) grinding machine that sets data for a grinding machine, such as tool parameter data, on a display screen.

(Prior Art) FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an example of a conventional NC device for a grinding machine, in which input is made from the operation panel 1 according to the data setting screen displayed on the display screen CRT of the operation panel 1. The parameter data TP of the tool is stored in the parameter data storage section 3.
The parameter data MT of the tool is stored in the parameter data setting control section 2 and the parameter data storage section 3.
The display control section 4 displays P at a predetermined position on the display screen CRT of the operation fi11.

In such a configuration, when an operator inputs dimensional data, the operator grasps the image of the shape to be input, checks the dimensional values and the sign of the numerical values, and inputs the data. However, in this conventional data setting method, only numerical values (O marks and △ marks in the diagram) indicating the current dimensional data as shown in Fig. 5 are displayed on the CRT display screen, and the operator is required to input new dimensional data. If you want to reset the settings, there is a drawback that you have to create a shape image in your head or visually check the actual human-powered object and then input the data manually.

Therefore, in order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, there is an invention disclosed by the present applicant. The present invention includes a determining means for determining the display position of a guidance screen based on a key manual operation, a selecting means for selecting a shape to be displayed on the guidance screen from a shape memory, and an output result of the determining means and the selecting means. Based on the above, the guide screen is provided with a guide screen display means for displaying the guide screen on the display device, and the guide screen is displayed superimposed on the data setting screen of the display device (Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 61-32109).

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) There are many types of parameter data for tools for NG grinding machines compared to those for NC lathes and machining centers, and the data names differ depending on each machine tool manufacturer. The disadvantage of using only a guidance screen is that it is prone to human error. Furthermore, it is not necessary to set all of the numerous parameter data; they are different for each shape, and in addition, the parameter data for each shape is divided into two types: essential data and optional data. For example, the fifth
In the case of shape code 2 shown in the figure, an instruction manual is required to distinguish between essential data (marked O in the figure) and optional data (marked △ in the figure) among the 20 types of parameter data.
The problem was that it took too much time.

The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to improve the above-mentioned NG device by the present applicant to easily set and confirm data of the NG grinding machine. An object of the present invention is to provide an NC device for a grinding machine that can perform the following operations.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention relates to an NC device for a grinding machine that sets data for an NG grinder on a display screen, and the above object of the present invention is to set data manually.

a first control unit to store, and a part on the guide screen that displays a data setting screen and a guidance screen based on data from the first control unit, and corresponds to data indicated by a cursor on the data setting screen; This is achieved by providing a second control unit that highlights the information and displays a confirmation screen based on the set data.

(Function) The NC device for a grinding machine of the present invention changes the color or blinks the location to be set every time the cursor used when setting data is moved, thereby increasing the visibility of that location and It displays a shape based on data to ensure the validity of the shape.

(Example) FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the NC device for a grinding machine of the present invention in correspondence with FIG. 4, and the same components are given the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted. This NC device for grinding machine is
A guide screen corresponding to the shape data OF from the parameter data setting control section 2 is displayed superimposed on the data setting screen displayed on the display screen CRT of the operation panel 1, and the cursor is positioned on the display screen CRT. Change the color of the parameter data dimension line (for example, from white to magenta), display the address character blinking, and confirm that the data has been enlarged by a certain ratio based on the set parameter data after completing the data setting. A guide map display control unit 5 is newly provided to display the screen instead of a guide screen.

Figure 2 shows the display screen CRT of the NC device for a grinding machine of the present invention.
This shows an example of a screen displayed on the screen.

For example, when the operator moves the cursor to "Inclination angle right °°" on the data setting screen by operating the keys on the operation panel L, 'FDI' ( ) on the guide screen will flash and 'FDI' will flash.
Since the color of the dimension line indicating "DR" changes, the operator can immediately check the relationship between the name of the parameter data and the part and set the parameter data accurately.After completing the setting of the parameter data, The operator can easily check the correctness of the set parameter data by operating the keys on the operation panel L to display a confirmation drawing as shown in Figure 3.At this time, all of the above-mentioned essential data are set. If the settings are not correct, an error message or the like will be issued to warn you, so that you can easily recognize any settings that have been omitted.

In addition, although the above-mentioned embodiment explained the setting of the parameter data of the tool, it is possible to apply to the setting of other data (for example, the origin).

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the NC device for a grinding machine of the present invention, it is possible to set and confirm complex data reliably and easily. can be prevented and production efficiency can be improved.
