Description

The present disclosure relates to a processing information display device.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, when using a machine tool, a workpiece may be machined by setting optimal acceleration/deceleration parameters depending on the object to be machined or the machining method. When milling workpieces such as automobile parts, high-speed acceleration/deceleration parameters are required because contour accuracy is not required. On the other hand, mold machining that requires contour accuracy, such as electrode machining, requires acceleration/deceleration parameters that can achieve high contour accuracy.

As described above, by arbitrarily changing the acceleration/deceleration parameters, efficient machining has been performed in accordance with the machining object or the machining method. However, in order to change the parameters depending on the object to be machined, a skilled person who is familiar with machining with machine tools and handling numerical control devices is required.

In consideration of the above circumstances, conventional numerical control devices store in advance a combination of acceleration and deceleration parameters defined based on the operating performance of the machine tool as a function of setting a machining mode. Then, by arbitrarily selecting a pattern on the display screen of the numerical control device or giving commands using M code, the numerical control device can set acceleration and deceleration parameters for each workpiece at once, even if you are not an expert. And you can change it. As such a technique, for example, a document such as Patent Document 1 is disclosed.
