Abstract

PURPOSE:To confirm the working contents of an NC program and to prevent the working mistakes and the NC program mistakes by writing the working information into the NC program and displaying the working information in voices at working. CONSTITUTION:An interactive program is produced at a program production part 20 together with the initialization and the set-up of a working process in the manual operations respectively. The NC working information on the program No, the program name, the working form, the tool name, the production date of the program, the date of transfer, etc., are written into an NC program as the preparation of transfer to an NC controller part 30. Then the written NC program is transferred to the part 30 and then displayed at a character/graphic display means 10 as the working information. At the same time, a read buffer part M2 decides and converts the display contents of the part 10. Then these display contents are displayed in voices via a voice transmitter 8.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Field of Application in M Business" The present invention relates to a dialogue 2 NC program creation or system,
During the NC program to be executed, the program name, machining shape,
This relates to a method that includes the tool name, transfer date, etc., and displays it audibly so that the operator can understand the machining status.

"Prior Art and Problems" Conventional NC program creation systems are at most professional. It was limited to counting and displaying the Durham number and the number of workpieces processed. Furthermore, there is no NC program that incorporates the program name, machining shape, tool name, transfer date, etc. into the NC program to be executed and displays them so that the operator can understand the machining status.

For the NG program, test cut the workpiece and partially correct the dialog program for the defective part, or
Although it is necessary to assign a new program number to the C program and to record a date to confirm when it was modified, these are not included. For this reason, the contents cannot be confirmed during or before the automatic operation of the NC program, resulting in problems such as machining errors and NG program errors. That is, it is not possible to know which NC program is correct or the current machining status.

"Problems and Means to be Solved" The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and is an interactive NG program creation system for machine tools, in which the program name, machining shape, tool name, It is an object and object of the present invention to provide an audio display method for NC machining information that incorporates the transfer date, etc., and displays these audibly in synchronization with machining so that the operator can grasp the machining status. In a control system in which a machine tool is equipped with an interactive program creation section, a .NG control device section, and a data input/output and character/figure display section, 2. a source generated by interactive input is stored in a file memory section of the interactive program creation section. The NC machining program memory section of the NG control unit that inserts the program number, program name, machining shape, tool name, program creation date, transfer date, etc. into the NG program executed based on the program, and transfers and saves this data. The NC control unit that executes NC machining synchronizes with the machining process and records the program number, program name, machining shape, tool name, program creation date, transfer date, etc.
An audio display system that displays the NC processing information as a voice, which is equipped with a reading buffer section that determines only the G processing information, an audio information conversion section that converts it into audio, and an audio transmitter that outputs this NC processing information as an audio signal. It is.

As a result, the machining contents of these NG programs can be confirmed during or before automatic operation of the NC program, and problems such as machining errors and errors in the NC program can be solved. In other words, it is possible to accurately understand which NC program is the correct one and the current machining status by voice.

``Example'' Figure 1 is a block diagram of a control system for implementing the audio display method of NC processing information in the NC program of the present invention.
The figure is a flowchart of the audio display method of NC processing information,
FIG. 3 shows screens of the NC program including NG processing information.

I! In figure 1. The control system of the machine tool (machine) 5 will be explained. 10 is a character and graphic display means, C
An interactive program l1 creation unit which is composed of an RT display unit 1 and a CRτ control unit 2, and can display memory data on the screen by operating the keyboard &software; ~ keys 3 which are data input/output means 40. 20 central processing units (C
PU) 20a is. In addition to character and graphic display means 10 and data input/output means 40, it is connected to a tool file memory section Ml, a memory ROM for storing various data and machining information programs, and the like. Further, the NG control device section 30, which is a control means of the machine tool 5, includes an NG control section 4 (CPUI) serving as the central part, a program memory section M3 for storing machining programs, a read buffer section M2, and a program memory section M3.
and receives program information from the NG control unit 4 (CPUl), and transmits the contents of the program to the WI. It is equipped with a reading buffer section M2 that reads and discriminates only the NC processing information, an audio information converting section 7 that converts it into audio, and an audio transmitter 8 that outputs the NC processing information as an audio signal. Furthermore, the NC control unit CPtJ1. “The central processing unit (CPTJ)
) 20a and each memo J section.

By operating the keys on the data input/output means 40, the information of each part is extracted and drawn on the display part 1 of the CRT.
The NC control unit 30 serves as a control system lOO that controls the operation of the machine tool 5 based on the machining program.

In the file memory section of the interactive program creation section, the program number, program name, machining shape,
The tool name, program creation date, transfer date, etc. are entered. The NC machining program memory section M3 of the NG control device section 30 that transfers and stores the data of the above NC program and the NC
The NG control unit 4 that executes machining operates the machine 5, and in synchronization with this machining, the program number, program name, machining shape, tool age, program creation date, transfer date, etc. are read and distributed by the buffer unit M2. Of course, the NC processing information is sent to the audio information converter 7 which converts only the audio display information into audio, which converts it into audio, and the audio transmitter 8 which transmits this information audio displays the NC processed information.
Processing information can be displayed audibly while the machine is locked. Next, the audio display method of processing information according to the present invention will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, power is turned on to the NCIITlJ control device section on the N(; side) and the interactive program creation section on the program creation side.

After that, the interactive program creation section 20 manually operates the "creation of an interactive program" for the workpiece to be machined, the "initial settings" for proceeding with a predetermined machining process, and the predetermined "setting of a machining process". It will be held at The settings for this machining process are (
This is carried out by mainly performing the following steps (tool setting) and (setting of the machining shape of each tool), and the subsequent (checking of each machining shape of the tool) is performed automatically. Of course, ￥3 interactive type N
