Description

The present invention relates to a technique for adjusting image display settings between software programs that transmit and receive model data.

As a machine tool, for example, a five-axis machine having three orthogonal linear axes (X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis) and two rotary axes (B-axis, C-axis) is known. In such a machine tool, a numerical controller executes an NC program (machining program) to control five axes and machine a workpiece into a desired shape while changing the position and orientation of the tip point of the tool.

The NC program is generated based on Cutter Location Data (hereinafter referred to as "CL data") obtained through Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM). However, there are many models of numerical controllers, and the specifications differ for each model. Therefore, the CAM post-processor appropriately converts the CL data to provide an optimized NC program for each numerical controller.

Post-processor development is generally done by the CAM manufacturer or distributor. However, it is not easy for a CAM manufacturer or the like to develop a post-processor that can be converted into an NC program that satisfies various specifications of each numerical controller.

Therefore, in recent years, manufacturers other than CAM manufacturers are also developing postprocessors. However, there are various kinds of CAMs. For this reason, we must also consider the possibility that the user of the post-processor is familiar with either CAM. This is because users of the CAM tend to use the post-processor as it is, and in that case, if there is a large difference in feeling between the CAM and the post-processor, it will affect the workability of the user.

That is, when the CL data is converted into the NC program by the post-processor, a simulation screen of the manufacturing process may be displayed in order to check whether the NC program operates normally. Also, model data of a product created by CAD may be displayed and checked. At that time, if the attributes related to the display of image objects and their explanations on the screen are different from those in CAD/CAM, the user's recognition of the displayed contents may be delayed, which may reduce workability or give the user a sense of discomfort.

A display control unit that changes the display mode of an image displayed by the display, and at least one setting of color, language, and wording in the display mode corresponds to the setting of the CAM based on the unique information acquired by the unique information acquisition unit. and a setting unit configured to change the setting.

Another aspect of the invention is a machine tool. This machine tool includes a data acquisition section that acquires model data and an NC program generated by an external device, a unique information acquisition section that acquires unique information of the external device, an input section that receives user operation input, and an NC program. and a display controller that displays a simulation image, a three-dimensional image, or a two-dimensional image based on at least one of the model data, and changes the display mode of the displayed image in accordance with user operation input; a setting unit that changes at least one setting of the color, language, and wording in the aspect in accordance with the setting of the external device based on the unique information acquired by the unique information acquisition unit.

Yet another aspect of the present invention is an information processing program that generates an NC program used in a machine tool. This program provides a computer with a function of acquiring model data or CL data output from a CAM, a function of acquiring CAM-specific information, a function of generating an NC program based on the CL data, and a user operation input. is displayed through an input unit, and either a simulation image, a three-dimensional image, or a two-dimensional image is displayed based on at least one of the NC program, model data, and CL data, and according to the user's operation input A function to change the display mode of the displayed image, and at least one setting of the color, language, and wording in the display mode are changed to correspond to the CAM settings based on the unique information acquired by the unique information acquisition unit. and the ability to perform.

The program generator 130 functions as a post-processor and generates an NC program based on the CL data acquired by the data acquisition section 124 .

In the present embodiment, considering workability when a CAM user directly uses the post-processor, the display settings of the CAM can be reflected in the display function of the post-processor. That is, the information processing apparatus 100 can change the display settings of the processor according to the type of CAM according to the user's request. The program storage unit 140 stores an information processing program for changing the display settings of the post-processor in correspondence with the display settings of the CAM.

The unique information acquisition unit 132 acquires the unique information of the CAM that the CAM device 160 has. The “unique information” here is set as information that can identify the type of CAM that generated the CL data, such as the CAM name and ID. The unique information of the CAM is output from the CAM device 160 and acquired by the unique information acquiring section 132 (see dotted line).

The setting unit 136 then changes the display settings of the image and the character string to be displayed on the display unit so as to correspond to the display settings of the CAM based on the unique information.

Next, a method for changing display settings on the screen of the information processing apparatus 100 will be described.
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing differences in display settings depending on the type of CAM. FIG. 3A shows an example of display settings related to color, and FIG. 3B shows an example of display settings related to wording.

When a three-dimensional image, a two-dimensional image, and a simulation image are displayed on the display screen of the CAM, the background color is set and the image objects such as spindles and tools are displayed in different colors. Also, explanations of these display images may be displayed as words (character strings). However, the display settings may differ depending on the type of CAM.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3A, the display format (display setting) of each display element may be different for three types of CAMs, ACAM, BCAM, and CCAM. As the background color, white is set for ACAM, cyan is set for BCAM, and black is set for CCAM. Gray is set for ACAM and BCAM, and green is set for CCAM as the color of the main axis. As the tool color, yellow is set for ACAM, magenta for BCAM, and white for CCAM. As the work color, magenta is set for ACAM, yellow is set for BCAM, and red is set for CCAM.

Also, as shown in FIG. 3B, the wording used in each CAM may be different. A workpiece (material) before processing is set to be described as "stock" in ACAM, "material" in BCAM, and "workpiece" in CCAM. A jig for fixing a work or the like is set to be described as "clamp" in ACAM, "jig" in BCAM, and "fixture" in CCAM.

In this way, the display settings for screen display may differ depending on the type of CAM. On the other hand, for the convenience of the user, it is desirable to hand over the display settings of the CAM to the post-processor. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a process of changing the display settings of the screen when using the post-processor to the display settings of the CAM, which is the output source of the CL data, is executed according to the user's selection. The details will be described below.

The display setting storage unit 144 stores a table (hereinafter referred to as a “display setting table”) in which display setting correspondence is set for each color and wording shown in FIG. 3 for each CAM specific information (that is, for each CAM type). ) is retained.

4 to 6 are diagrams showing specific examples of display setting change processing. FIG. 4 shows an example of CL data. FIG. 5 shows a processing screen when CL data is imported. FIG. 6 shows an operation screen for manually changing display settings.

As shown in FIG. 4, in this embodiment, the CAM device 160 incorporates unique information into the CL data in order to change the display settings described above. In the illustrated example, "OUTPUT SOURCE/{ACAM}" is written in a predetermined block in CL data written in APT language (Automatically Programmed Tools) (see bold). A CAM name as unique information is written in { }. Although "ACAM" is exemplified in the illustrated example, "BCAM" is described if the output source of the CL data is BCAM, and "CCAM" is described if it is CCAM.

When CL data is imported from the CAM device 160 to the information processing device 100, an import preview screen shown in FIG. 5A is displayed. At this time, the unique information acquisition unit 132 extracts unique information from the CL data acquired by the data acquisition unit 124 and stores it in the unique information storage unit 142 .

When the import is completed, the setting change selection screen shown in FIG. 5B is displayed. This setting change selection screen is a screen for allowing the user to select whether or not to hand over the display settings of the CAM to the post-processor, and also displays the CAM name specified from the unique information. The user selects a "yes" or "no" button on the setting change selection screen.

At this time, if "yes" is selected, the display settings in the post-processor are set or changed to those of the CAM. If "No" is selected, the CAM display settings are not taken over, and the default settings are left as they are. In the present embodiment, the default setting is a unique setting that does not depend on the type of CAM. A display setting common to a plurality of types of CAMs may be preferentially set.

In this embodiment, this display setting can be changed after the fact. That is, when the user selects a setting button (not shown) displayed on the post-processor execution screen, the setting screen (dialog box) shown in FIG. 6 can be displayed and the display settings can be changed.

In the illustrated example, the "color setting" tab of the setting screen is selected, and the color setting screen is displayed (Fig. 6(A)). A CAM selection button 210, an add button 212, a change button 214 and a delete button 216 are displayed on the color setting screen. The CAM selection button 210 is a button that is selected when collectively selecting display settings for each CAM, and one of the CAMs can be selected from a pull-down menu 211 (FIG. 6B).

FIG. 6A shows an ACAM selected from among a plurality of types of CAMs, and shows the correspondence between the color setting objects (display elements) shown in FIG. 3 and the colors. The user can use the ACAM display settings as they are, but can add their own display settings by selecting the add button 212 . Color settings may be added for display elements that do not have color settings, such as line drawings. Also, by selecting the change button 214, any of the display settings that have already been set can be changed. In addition, selection of the delete button 216 also allows deletion of any previously set display settings. In the case of deletion, the corresponding display element may be rendered colorless (line drawing).

An OK button 218, a cancel button 220 and an apply button 222 are also displayed on the setting screen. After the user adds, changes or deletes any display settings, the addition, change or deletion can be confirmed by selecting the Apply button 222 and selecting the OK button 218 . The addition, change or deletion can be canceled by selecting the cancel button 220 . To take over the display settings of one of a plurality of types of CAMs as they are, the applicable CAM displayed in the pull-down menu 211 is selected, and then the apply button 222 and the OK button 218 are sequentially selected.

When the "text setting" tab is selected on this setting screen, the text setting screen is displayed, and the correspondence between the text setting objects (display elements) and the text shown in FIG. 3 is shown. The user can change the wording setting in the same way as the color setting, but the explanation thereof will be omitted.

Next, the flow of display setting processing will be described.
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing display setting processing.
As described above, the information processing device 100 imports the CL data from the CAM device 160 according to the user's operation input (S10). At this time, the display control unit 134 displays the import preview shown in FIG. 5A (S12). The unique information acquisition unit 132 extracts unique information from the CL data and stores it in the unique information storage unit 142 (S14).

When the import of the CL data is completed, the display control unit 134 displays the setting change dialog shown in FIG. 5B (S16). At this time, if the user selects to change the display settings (that is, if "yes" is selected) (Y in S18), the setting unit 136 refers to the display setting table based on the unique information, and performs the corresponding operation. CAM display setting information is acquired (S20). Then, it is set so as to be reflected in the display setting of the post processor (S22). If the user does not select to change the display settings (that is, if "No" is selected) (Y of S18), the processes of S20 and S22 are skipped.

The information processing apparatus 100 has been described above based on the embodiment.
The information processing apparatus 100 of this embodiment changes the display mode of the three-dimensional image based on the model data acquired from the CAM device 160 according to the user's request. The display settings of the post-processor can be changed in correspondence with the display settings of the CAM based on the unique information extracted from the CL data. For this reason, it is possible to standardize the display settings of images and text when the CAM user uses the post-processor as it is, so that the work efficiency of the user can be improved. That is, it is possible to realize the same feeling of use as the CAM in the post-processor, and to serve the convenience of the user.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to those specific embodiments, and that various modifications are possible within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. Nor.

[Modification]
FIG. 8 is a functional block diagram of an information processing device 200 according to a modification.
In the above embodiment, an example in which the CAM device 160 and the information processing device 100 are configured independently has been shown. In this modification, a common personal computer (PC) incorporates CAD, CAM and post-processor.

Information processing apparatus 200 includes a CAD/CAM section 260 and a system management section 280 . CAD/CAM section 260 has both CAD and CAM functions, and includes model data generation section 262 , CL data generation section 162 and data output section 164 . The model data generator 262 generates model data (CAD data) using a CAD function. The CL data generator 162 generates CL data based on the CAD data and the route generation information. Data output unit 164 outputs model data and CL data to information processing apparatus 100 .

The system management unit 280 performs file management of software that implements each function of the information processing apparatus 200 . The system management unit 280 can check the software installed in the information processing device 200 by referring to the system file of the information processing device 200 . In this modification, when the post-processor is installed, the unique information acquisition unit 132 inquires of the system management unit 280 and acquires unique information indicating the type of CAM.

When the installation of the post-processor is completed, the display control unit 134 displays the setting change dialog shown in FIG. 5(B). At this time, if the user selects to change the display settings, the setting unit 136 acquires the corresponding CAM display setting information from the display setting storage unit 144 based on the unique information, and reflects it in the display settings of the postprocessor. set as follows.

According to this modification, installation of the post-processor can be used as a trigger to change the display settings in accordance with the display settings of the CAM. As a result, effects similar to those of the above embodiment can be obtained. That is, it is possible to realize the same feeling of use as the CAM in the post-processor, and to serve the convenience of the user.

If the CAD/CAM program is installed after the post-processor is installed, the installation of the CAD/CAM program may be used as a trigger for the unique information acquisition unit 132 to acquire the unique information of the CAM in the same manner as described above. . Then, the display settings of the post-processor may be changed according to the user's operation input.

In this modified example, an example of using the file management function of the system management unit 280 is shown, but a process monitoring function can also be used. That is, it is also possible to detect the CAM in operation by process monitoring and obtain its unique information.

[Other Modifications]
In the above-described embodiment, an example of changing the display settings of the post-processor has been shown with respect to the display settings when changing the display mode of the three-dimensional image based on the model data. In a modified example, the display settings of the display mode of the two-dimensional image may be similarly changed. Further, display settings may be similarly changed for simulation images of manufacturing processes based on model data and CL data. Further, the display setting may be similarly changed for the simulation image based on the NC program converted from the CL data.

In the above embodiment, the configuration for handing over the display settings for image display has been exemplified in the relationship between the CAM device and the information processing device. In a modified example, the configuration may be such that the display settings can be handed over in the relationship between the external device and the machine tool (information processing device). The external device may be a CAD device or a CAD/CAM device.

When the external device is a CAD device, display settings for a three-dimensional image or a two-dimensional image based on the model data can be handed over to the information processing device incorporated in the machine tool as in the above embodiment. The information processing device may include a numerical control device and can display those images with a viewer or the like.

When the external device is a post-processor of the CAM device, the image display settings in the information processing device of the machine tool may be changed in correspondence with the display settings of the CAM device. This image may include a three-dimensional image or a two-dimensional image based on model data. Also, simulation images based on the NC program and model data may be included.

The unique information may be transmitted from the external device to the information processing device of the machine tool by file transfer. A post-processor that configures the external device may transmit unique information in the form of a display setting definition file that matches the settings of the CAM. When such a display setting definition file is used, not only the default display settings in each CAM but also the settings when the user changes the display settings in each CAM can be inherited in the information processing apparatus.

Alternatively, data (job data) including identification information such as a CAM name as unique information may be transmitted. The information processing device of the machine tool may request unique information from the external device, and the external device may transmit the unique information accordingly. A network shared folder may be provided between the external device and the machine tool to store the unique information.

In the above embodiment, an example in which the CAD device and the CAM device are configured separately has been shown, but it may be configured as a CAD/CAM device having both the CAD function and the CAM function.

In the above embodiment, the information processing device is a post-processor, but it may be a second CAD/CAM device (CAD/CAM device 2). Specifically, it is assumed that an NC program generated by CAD/CAM1 installed on PC1 is read by CAD/CAM2 on PC2. In that case, in order to take over the display settings of CAD/CAM1 to CAD/CAM2, the display settings may be changed by the method of the above-described embodiment or modification. A CAM device 2 without a CAD function may be employed instead of the second CAD/CAM device.

In the above-described embodiment, colors and words are used as examples of image display modes, but language display such as Japanese and English may also be subject to setting changes. That is, when the language setting of the CAD/CAM is Japanese, the language setting of the information processing device (post-processor) may also be changed to Japanese based on the specific information.

In the above embodiment, the machine tool is a machining center that moves a rotating tool with respect to a workpiece, but it may be a turning center that moves a tool with respect to a rotating workpiece. It may be an additional processing machine for lamination processing. Alternatively, it may be a multitasking machine having these functions in combination.

Although not described in the above embodiment, the information processing program described above may be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium and provided.
