Abstract

PURPOSE:To ease the correction and edition of NC data by displaying the graphic of CAD data and the NC data on the same screen and instructing the graphic with a mouse. CONSTITUTION:A graphic 8 for working to be obtained by a CAD device is displayed to a display device 4 and below the graphic 8, NC data 9 are displayed together. When the graphic 8 (one part of a circle) is instructed by a mouse 7 for the data 9, the NC data 9 concerning this graphic 8 in the spot of a cursor 10 below the graphic. Thus, the correction and edition can be executed while a shape to be prepared by the CAD device and the ND data 9 are compared. Then, the longer the data 9 are prepared, the more easily the correction and edition of a program can be executed.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to an automatic programming device, especially for numerical programming. l
The present invention relates to a CAD/CAM automatic programming device for creating a program for a J control device (hereinafter referred to as an rNC device).

(Prior Art) A conventional device of this type will be explained based on FIGS. 3 and 4. Figure 4 is a diagram showing the overall configuration, in which (1
) is the central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as rcPIJJ), (2)
is a memory in which basic programs are stored, (3) is a keyboard for inputting numerical values, etc., (4) is a display device for displaying figures, etc., (5) is a printer for outputting figures, NC data, etc., (6) is a printer/puncher that outputs NC tape,
(7) is a mouse connected via a keyboard and used for positioning and specifying a location on the display device (4).

Next, to explain the operation of the automatic programming device, when CAD data is created using the keyboard (3) to determine the shape of a workpiece, for example, with the support of a CAD device, the display device (4) displays the data shown in Fig. 4. A figure (4a) representing the processed shape is displayed as shown in FIG. Next, NC data is created in the order of calculation processing and displayed as NC data (4b) on the display device (4). If you need to modify or edit the NC data (4b) on the screen now, use the keyboard (3) to perform editing operations such as additions and deletions on the screen to obtain the desired NC data (4c). If the leader/buncher (
6).

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

According to the above automatic programming device, NC data (4
When editing etc. b), use the NC
It is necessary to check all of the data (4b) on the screen and search on the screen for the parts that require editing, and a large amount of time has to be spent on tasks such as searching and editing.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems,
To provide an automatic programming device capable of displaying figures of CAD data and NC data on the same screen, and correcting and editing NC data of designated parts by pointing the figures with a mouse.

Means for Solving Problem C] The automatic programming device according to the present invention is, for example, a CAD
A data figure and NC data for a designated part of this figure can be displayed together on a display device,
This makes it possible to edit and modify the NC data.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, by specifying a processed figure on the screen obtained by a CAD device using a mouse or the like, the NC data of the specified part is displayed on the screen, and the displayed NC data can be edited and corrected as necessary. etc. can be done.

(Example) Based on the example shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2,
Or equivalent parts are given the same reference numerals and their explanations are omitted.
The features of the present invention will be mainly explained.

FIG. 1 shows the display contents of the display device (4), and is a diagram corresponding to FIG. The processed figure for machining (8) is displayed, and the NC data (9) can also be displayed below the figure (8). In other words, the displayed NC data (9) is
) to specify the shape (8), a part of the circle in this example, as shown, the cursor (lO) below the shape (8)
NC data (9) regarding this figure (8) is displayed at the location.

Next, the process of displaying the figure (8) and the NC data (9) will be explained based on FIG.

First, create CAD data in a CAD device (step 100), then create NC data in a CAM based on the CAD data (step 101), determine whether or not correction of the NC data is necessary (step 102),
If correction is necessary, display the shape of the CAD data (Step 103), and specify the correction point with the cursor of the mouse (7) (Step 104), and the specified NC data (11) will be displayed at the bottom of the screen as shown in Fig. and its N
The C data is corrected on the screen and the NC data (9a) is added (step 105). At this time, if necessary, the process can be returned to step 104 and repeated. The corrected NC data (9) is outputted as an NC tape (9b) via a reader/puncher (6) as in the conventional case and inputted to the NC device.

As described above, according to the device of this embodiment, it is possible to modify and edit while comparing the shape created by the CAD device and the NC data, and this means that the longer the NC data, the easier it is to modify and edit the program. Become. Furthermore, if a comment statement for NC data is added to the NC program in the same way, the shape of the executed portion can be easily checked when the NC data is executed.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, NC data can be easily and quickly corrected and edited.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a display screen of an embodiment of the automatic programming device according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation in this embodiment, FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the entire automatic programming device, FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a display screen of a conventional device. In the figure, (4) is a display device (display screen), (8) is a figure, (9) is NC data, and (9a) is added NC data. In each figure, the same reference numerals indicate the same or corresponding parts.

Claims (1)

[Claims] In an automatic programming device capable of editing numerical control data displayed on a display screen, the display screen displays a part of the figure designated on the display screen as NC data among figures and NC data related to the figure. An automatic programming device characterized by having a function and a function of editing the displayed NC data.
