Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To capacitate even a beginner to efficiently perform machining with a numerical control device in a simple manner. SOLUTION: A work type and a machining type at every work are registered in a first file unit 1. Likewise, a numerical control code conformed to the machining type at every work is preregistered in a second file unit 2. In addition, the work type and the machining type at every work are called out of the first file unit 1, and they are displayed in a menu form on a display-cum-data input unit 3. When the work type and the machining type are selected and inputted into this display-cum-data input unit 3, a numerical control system 4 calls the NC code corresponding to the work type and the machining type selected from the second file unit 2, controlling a machine tool 5, and thus the work is machined.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a machining control device using NC control of a machine tool, and more particularly to a machining control device capable of easily and efficiently executing a fixed machining for each work.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in general-purpose machine tools having an NC control function, it is usually necessary to create an NC program for each type of machining. Has gone. In a machine without an NC control function, machining is performed by manual operation.

(Problems of the prior art) When machining is performed using a general-purpose NC controller, it is necessary to create an NC program even with simple fixed machining. It requires a lot of labor or education, and efficient work cannot be expected for urgent needs. In addition, in a machine without an NC control function, a skilled technician is required to perform accurate machining with little variation.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a machining control device that enables even a beginner to perform machining easily and efficiently using an NC control device.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A machining control device according to the present invention has a first file device for storing a type of work and a type of machining for each work, and a type of machining for each type of work. The second file device for storing the NC code, the type of work and the type of machining for each work are called from the first file device and displayed in a menu format, and the type of work and the type of machining are displayed. A display and data input device that is selected and input, and an NC code corresponding to the type of the selected work and the type of machining are called from the second file device, and the machine tool is controlled by controlling the machine tool. An NC control device for performing machining.

According to the machining control device of the present invention, the type of the fixed workpiece and the type of machining for each workpiece are registered in the first file device, and the type of the workpiece and the machining procedure are respectively registered. Correspondingly, an NC code is created in advance and registered in the second file device. When machining a workpiece, the display and data input device displays the type of the workpiece and the type of the machining in a menu format, and by selecting the type of the workpiece and the type of the machining from the menu, the corresponding NC is displayed. The code is called to the NC controller to operate the machine tool. As a result, even a beginner can easily and efficiently perform machining using the NC control device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a machining control device according to the present invention. This device includes a file device 1 in which the types of work and machining are registered in advance, a file device 2 in which work machining information and NC codes corresponding to the work machining information are stored, and a type of work and machining in a menu format. A display and data input device 3 for displaying and prompting the operator to make a selection;
And an NC controller 4 for calling the corresponding NC code from the file device 2 based on the selected work and the type of machining, and controlling the operation of the machine tool 5.

[0008] The display / data input device 3 displays a list of works stored in the file device 1 and, when a work is selected, types of possible processing. Here, the type of processing refers to processing such as rough / medium / finishing processing fixed to the workpiece and partial cutting processing (end face processing, hole processing, etc.). When the type of processing is selected, a description (such as the position and dimensions of the actual processing) related to the selected processing is displayed together with the picture of the workpiece, and the operator is asked for confirmation input.

The NC control device retrieves and calls a corresponding NC code stored in the file device 2 in advance according to the type of work and machining selected by the operator, and uses the NC data to control the operation of the machine tool. Is performed.

[0010] As shown in FIG. 2, the file device 2 stores the work processing information including the registered processing type and the corresponding N
Each of the C codes is stored. Here, the work processing information includes a work's approximate dimensions, a material, a comment, processing information (processing type, processing position and dimensions, machine operating conditions, and graphic data of the work).

Next, the flow of work using this device will be specifically described with a focus on data input. When the apparatus is started, a work list 11 is displayed on the display / data input device 3 as shown in FIG. 3, and the type of work to be processed is selected by pressing the "selection button" 12. Here, when the “help button” 13 is pressed,
A picture and comment showing the material of the selected work are displayed. "OK button" 14 if the selected work is correct
Is pressed again, the "NG button" 15 is pressed.
When the “OK button” is pressed, the types of machining 16 that can be performed on the selected work are displayed. When the "selection button" corresponding to the type of processing to be performed is pressed, the processing image 17 of the work is displayed together with the comment. If the processing shown in the figure is satisfactory, the "OK button" 14 is again displayed on the selection menu. To return, the "NG button" 15 is pressed.
When the "OK button" 14 is pressed, the NC code corresponding to the type of the work and the processing is searched, and called by the NC control device to perform the processing of the work.

[0012]

According to the machining control device of the present invention, even a beginner can efficiently perform machining for an urgent need by using the NC control device. In addition, anyone can perform accurate machining with little variation.
