JPS62134705A - Nc tape converting system - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To purchase an NC working machine of other maker at a low cost, also to make it unnecessary to learn other program inputting system, and to dissolve the complicacy of an operation, by reading a G code and an M code of other company, and replacing them with a G code and an M mode for the own company. CONSTITUTION:An NC tape 1 is read 11 by a tape reader 2 of an NC control device 3. Subsequently, an up-load function 12 extending from the NC control device 3 to a personal computer 6, being one of data transfer functions which the personal computer 6 has already, namely, a data transfer extending from the NC to the personal computer is executed and the data is read, and written in a floppy disk in the personal computer 6. Next, a conversion program is started, and converted to that for the NC control device 3. The converted working program is read in the NE control device 3 by a down-load function 13 extending from the personal computer 6 to the NC control device 3, namely, a data transfer extending from the personal computer to the NC. In this way, by this working program, a laser beam machine 5 is operated.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [1. Field of Use after Graduation] This invention relates to an NC tape conversion method that can convert, for example, an NC tape created using an automatic programming device manufactured by another company into one for use in one's own NC. be.

(Prior Art) The conventional NC tape conversion method was carried out by the flow of data as shown in FIG. (1) is an NC tape made by another company, (2) is a tape sorter that reads the NC tape (1) made by another company, and (3) is an N that comes with a tape sorter (2).
CIIJIXI device, (4) is C of NC control device (3)
The R7 screen (5) is a laser processing machine that performs processing using a cutting program sent from the NC control device (3).

Next, the operation will be explained. Advertise the NC tape (1) with the tape reader (2) of the NC control device (3).

Next, each function code of the laser processing machine (5) is edited on the CR7 screen (4) of the NC control device (3), and the laser processing machine (5) is operated using this Canadian program.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the conventional method, data flows as described above, so the program from the large-sized NC tape (1) is transferred onto the CR7 screen (4) of the NC control device (3). To edit the
It takes a lot of time, and even if the same code appears several times, it has to be edited each time.

This invention was made to solve the above problems, and by automatically changing the NC data,
The purpose of the present invention is to obtain an NC data conversion method that can shorten the time and allow the company's processing machines to be operated without much effort even with NC tapes for other companies' processing machines using automatic programming devices made by other companies.

[Means for solving problems]

This invention was made to achieve the above object, and is for converting a Canadian program for an NC control device of another company into a program for a company's own NC control device using, for example, a personal computer (hereinafter abbreviated as a personal computer). It is.

(Function) This invention is a conversion program used on a personal computer, which reads G codes and M codes of other companies and converts them into in-house machining programs by placing them in the in-house G codes and M codes. , create a Canadian program that matches the code of the company's NC control device.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1st
The figure shows the flow of data in this embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing its internal processing.

The movement of the data shown in FIG. 1 will be explained. As in the past, the tape league (2) of the NC control device (3) reads the NC tape (1) (11). Next, already on the computer (6)
NC control device (3), which is one of the data transfer functions possessed by
Upload function (12) from to PC (6) (
Upload function, data transfer from NC to PC)
is used to read and write to the floppy disk in the computer (6). Next, start the conversion program and convert for use with the NC control device (3). Download function (1:l) to download the converted Canadian program from the computer (6) to the NC control system (3) (Download: from the computer to the N
data transfer to C) using N Ctl;lj suburban system (
3). Then, the laser machining suction (5) is moved using this Canadian program (14).

Here, the procedure of the conversion program will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the program name before conversion obtained by the upload function is manually entered in step 20), and the program name to which the program converted by this conversion method is to be written is input (step 21).

Next, the data is checked from the beginning of the manually written program to the end (step 22). At this time, we have internal comparison data between other companies' G codes and M codes and our own G codes and M codes, and during the check, we
When the M code is found (step 23), the comparison data table is scanned to set the relevant company's G code and M code (step 24), and the data conversion is completed.

In addition, although the above-mentioned embodiment has been described with respect to a nitrogram for a laser processing machine, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be used for other NC processing machines as long as the comparison data is changed.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, users who have already purchased and are using an automatic programming device made by another company do not need to purchase a new automatic programming device made by another company. Accordingly, an NC processing machine from another manufacturer can be purchased at a lower cost, and there is no need to learn another program input method, which has the effect of eliminating the complexity of operation.
