Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the working data control method for machining which makes the confirmation work of a file name easy and sure. CONSTITUTION:Data to be used for machining is stored at a host computer 1 beforehand, and according to a demand from a numerically controlled machine tool 3, the data housed at the host computer 1 is made to be outputted to the numerically controlled machine tool 3 of the demand source. Data to be stored at the host computer 1 are divided beforehand by work names and the method of the numerically control machine tool 3, and when data is demanded from the numerically controlled machine tool 3, the host computer 1 decides data to be outputted by discriminating a demanded work name first and next discriminating the method of the numerically controlled machine tool 3 of the demand source.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention stores data to be used for machining in a host computer in advance, and stores data stored in the host computer in response to a request from the numerical control machine tool as a request source of the numerical control machine tool. The present invention relates to a machining data management method for machining that is configured to be output to.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When there are a plurality of numerically controlled machine tools, data used for machining is stored in a host computer, and data required by the numerically controlled machine tool is fetched from the host computer for each machining. Easy input work and data management. At this time, if all the numerically controlled machine tools have the same specifications, no particular problem occurs.

[0003]

However, even when machining the same work, if the specifications of the numerically controlled machine tool differ, the machining data also differs. Therefore, when numerical control machine tools with different specifications coexisted, the data was managed by the file name of the machining data. For this reason, the work of checking the file name is troublesome, and mistakes are likely to occur. An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and to provide a machining data management method for machining, in which file name confirmation work is easy and reliable.

[0004]

The above-mentioned problem is that the data used for machining is stored in advance in the host computer, and the data stored in the host computer in response to a request from the numerically controlled machine tool is the numerical value of the request source. In the machining data management method of machining configured to output to the controlled machine tool, the data to be stored in the host computer is divided in advance according to the workpiece name and the numerically controlled machine tool specifications, and the data is requested from the numerically controlled machine tool. Then, the upper computer first determines the requested work name, and then determines the data to be output by determining the specifications of the requesting numerically controlled machine tool.

[0005]

[Function] The necessary data can be obtained simply by transmitting the work name to be processed.

1 is a block diagram of an apparatus to which a method for managing processed data according to the present invention is applied. In the figure, 1 is a host computer. 2 is a storage device of the host computer 1. Here, the data used for processing are classified as follows and managed in the storage device 2. That is, the data is roughly classified for each holder, and the holder name is made to coincide with the work name. Each holder stores a file classified according to the specifications of the numerically controlled machine tool, and each file stores data used for machining. Here, the data used for machining is composed of machining conditions such as tool feed speed and tool rotation speed, and an NC program for instructing a movement amount of a machining axis and a command code. The file structure may be one in which all data used for processing is stored, or one in which common data and unique data are collectively filed. 3 is a numerical control machine tool.
A communication line 4 connects the host computer 1 and the plurality of numerically controlled machine tools 3.

The operation will be described below with reference to the flow chart of FIG. The name of the workpiece to be machined is the workpiece A, and the numerically controlled machine tool to be machined is the numerically controlled machine tool 3a.
And ◆ When processing preparation is completed, numerical control machine tool 3a
The work name, that is, the work A, is input to the host computer 1 from (S100). The host computer 1 first searches for a holder whose name is work A (S110).
Next, it is confirmed that the requesting numerically controlled machine tool is the numerically controlled machine tool 3a (S120). Then, the searched folder is searched for a file of the numerically controlled machine tool 3a (S130), and the data of the corresponding file is output to the numerically controlled machine tool 3a (S140). In addition, S110, S
If the corresponding item cannot be retrieved at 130, an alarm is output.

[0008]

As described above, according to the present invention,
In the machining data management method including the numerically controlled machine tools having different specifications, the operator does not need to confirm the specifications of the numerically controlled machine tool because the data request is the work name. As a result, data input work becomes easier and operability improves,
Moreover, there is an effect that reliable machining can be performed.
