Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate troublesome operation for realizing complex function through repetition of unit function by displaying the combination pattern of operations provided from an input machine onto a display unit while simultaneously storing into a memory and executing the combination pattern on the basis of a command from the operating panel. CONSTITUTION:A worker will operate a keyboard 22 to input the informations concerning to the combination pattern to be executed by the operating panel 41 then display the informations onto CPT display unit 18 and store into a memory 12. Upon provision of a command for executing the combination pattern from the operating panel 41 or the keyboard 22, said pattern informations are fed from the memory 12 to CPU 10 to decide the content. Then on the basis of the decision results, CPU 10 will perform corresponding processing to change the content of display on CRT display unit 18. Furthermore, the combination pattern can be realized by driving a motor 28 through the interface 24, 30, 34, 40 or switching the machining power sources or operating a motor 36 and the operating panel 41.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a numerical control device for controlling an electrical discharge machining device.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when performing electric discharge machining using electric discharge machining equipment, C:
, there are a wide variety of procedures that operators must operate.

Many of the same operations were repeated. For example, move by manual feed, perform positioning, perform coordinate presets, and specify the machine program.

The driver was performing operations such as starting automatic driving. These operations realize complex functions by combining single functions, but the combinations are diverse and require skill on the part of the operator. (= There is a lot of waste because the same pattern is repeatedly operated. Normally, Operation C: Necessary single functions and some complex functions are compiled by the equipment supplier (manufacturer) based on the greatest common denominator. Therefore, it is not necessarily consistent with the usage environment and usage pattern of the user (user), so it is necessary for the user to change the usage pattern to one that conforms to the manufacturer's function I:.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The prior art has the following problems. In other words, the operating method of the electric discharge machine is uniform and does not match the reality of the work at the site where it is used, and the operating procedure is complicated. Furthermore, there are problems such as a lot of repetitive manual work. .

This invention solves the above-mentioned problems.
The user registers a combination of basic single functions supplied by the manufacturer as one function in the numerical control device, and - Operation I: Automatically executes the registered combined function C2. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a numerical control device for an electric discharge machining machine that can be controlled in a controlled manner.

[Means for solving problems]

This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and includes a display device, a storage device for storing combination patterns of operations, an input device for inputting the combination patterns,
and an operation panel for executing a combination pattern, the display device 6 displays the operation combination pattern from the input device.
At the same time, the width of the storage device is stored, and the combination pattern is executed by command C2 from the operation panel.

[For production]

The display device 1 includes a display device, a storage device for storing combination patterns of operations, an input device for inputting the combination patterns, and a function device for executing the combination patterns, and displays the combination patterns in accordance with the selection of the input device. At the same time, the above-mentioned memory device 1 stores the information and automatically executes a series of combination patterns according to an instruction to the function device.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

The figure shows the feature I: control part of the numerical control device for controlling the electric discharge machining apparatus according to the present invention. First, a central processing unit C (abbreviated as CPU) αO, which forms the core of the control device, is used. This CPU (to) has a path line (bus L).
The storage device (6) and the CRT display device ◇■ are connected via a control line and the like.

In addition, interfaces H, H, m, CM,
A keyboard (a), drive unit (1), processing power supply (b), motor (c), operation spring (v@η), etc. are connected through (2). Storage device (6) RAM M and RO
It is also used as a storage device for storing combination patterns. The keyboard (A) is an input device for inputting combination patterns to be displayed on the CRT display screen.

The drive amplifier circuit drives the motor of the electrical discharge machine. Further, the motor (b) rotates a pump 0't) that supplies machining fluid. Operation panel α is provided for executing a combination pattern.

Now, as described above, in the numerical control device that controls the electric discharge machining apparatus configured as described above, the operator first operates the keyboard to input information related to the combination pattern C2 to be executed with the operation channel 0υ. , and the information is stored in the storage device (12).

The information to be input includes, for example, switching between automatic and manual keys, specifying a speed selection key, specifying a display screen, specifying a start key, etc.

Next, when a combination pattern execution is commanded from the operation panel 0 or the keyboard (A), the corresponding combination pattern information is sent from the storage device (2) to the CPUQ11, where the content is determined.The determined result (2 CPUs (2) (to) performs corresponding processing to change the display content on the CRT display device (for example, current coordinate values, etc.).

Furthermore, interface (c), (b), 04. A combination pattern can be realized by driving the motor (c) via (2), switching the machining power source (0), and operating the motor (b) and operation panel (a).

What? , in the above embodiment, the display device is a CRT display device (
Although c) was used, other LED indicators or panel displays may be used. Furthermore, the above-mentioned storage device may be any other storage device, such as a magnetic bubble memory, a floppy disk, or the like.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the operator's operation procedure is registered and executed as a combination pattern, so there is no need to repeat a single function to realize a complex function, and the process is more efficient than before. It is easy to operate, and it is possible to create functions that suit the user's usage environment and usage pattern.
