Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a numerical controller for adjusting a feed speed and a spindle speed by an override switch or the like, and more particularly, to an override value common to each machining step obtained by override instruction means such as an override switch. The present invention relates to a numerical controller that adjusts a feed speed and a spindle rotation speed based on an override value for each processing step.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a numerically controlled machine tool that performs machining while performing numerical control according to a machining program, command speeds related to a feed speed of a feed shaft and a rotation speed of a main shaft are set in advance in each machining step of the machining program. When a machining program is created based on a machining drawing or the like, the command speed is determined by assuming the machining capability of the machine tool, the material of the tool, and the like. However, only when the machining is started, it may become apparent that the command speed of the machining program is not appropriate. For example, there is a case where a planned machine tool cannot be used due to a change in a machining plan, or a case where a planned tool cannot be used due to circumstances of another machine tool or a tooling state. In this case, the operator operates an override instructing means such as an override switch to adjust the actual speed at the time of machining to be optimum.

For this reason, when executing the same machining program, it is necessary to perform optimal machining without having to operate override instruction means such as an override switch each time. Japanese Patent Publication No. 4-59105 discloses a technique of rewriting a command speed of a machining process being executed to a command speed after adjustment in accordance with an instruction from an input device. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-227739 discloses a technique for recording an override value obtained by operating override override means such as an override switch for each machining step, and rewriting a command speed of each machining step to a command speed after adjustment. It has been disclosed.

[0004]

However, the above-mentioned prior art has the following problems. If the machining program contains a subprogram and the subprogram is called from multiple machining steps, there must be multiple override values for one command speed, even if you want to multiply the command speed of the subprogram by the override value. Therefore, it is impossible to change to the optimal command speed. further,
If there is a machining process for which the command speed is not set because the command speed is the same as the previous machining process, the target to be multiplied by the override value, that is, the command speed does not exist, Changing to the command speed is not possible. These problems are due to the machining program
It is fatal because it becomes noticeable in the case of an IA program.

[0005] Further, when the tool assumed at the time of creating the machining program cannot be used, the command speed can be adjusted to some extent without executing the machining program using the manual value of the tool. However, since the command speed is rewritten based on the override value obtained by operating the override instruction means such as the override switch, it is impossible to adjust the command speed before executing the machining program. . Further, in this case, optimal machining can be obtained by adjusting the command speed for the machining process in which the intended tool cannot be used. But,
Since it is necessary to execute all the machining steps, the adjustment of the command speed is a long operation.

When the number of workpieces is large, the command speed must be adjusted according to the wear of the tool, and when the tool is replaced with a new tool, the command speed must be returned to the state before the adjustment. However, since it is a method of correcting the command speed of the machining program, it is practically impossible to return the command speed once rewritten to the state before adjustment.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a numerical control device capable of adjusting a command speed for each machining step for any machining program including an ISO / EIA program. Is a numerical control device that can adjust the command speed for each machining process simply and in a short time limited to the machining process that requires adjustment, and furthermore, combining an override instruction means such as an override switch and an input device such as a keyboard. An object of the present invention is to provide a numerical control device capable of adjusting a command speed for each processing step easily and in a short time.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a method comprising a plurality of machining steps, wherein at least the first machining step of the machining steps is set with a command speed relating to the rotation speed of the main spindle and the feed speed of the feed shaft.

Is achieved by in this case,
Since the machining program is not modified, the command speed can be adjusted for each machining process for all machining programs including the ISO / EIA program. Further, by operating an input device such as a keyboard to change the process unit override value, the command speed can be adjusted for each machining process without executing a machining program. Furthermore, if you override the process unit override value,

Further, the machining process information includes a process execution flag indicating validity or invalidity of each machining process, the machining process information changing means changes the process execution flag, and the machining program execution means executes the process execution flag. This is achieved by executing only valid machining steps based on the flag.

Further, a common override storage means for storing the common override value for each machining step, and a process unit for collectively changing the process unit override value based on the stored common override value This is achieved by adding an override changing means to the numerical controller described above. In this case, even if the command speed is adjusted during execution of the machining program by operating the override instruction means such as the override switch, the result can be reflected on the process unit override value.
That is, the command speed can be adjusted easily and in a short time by combining an override instruction means such as an override switch and an input device such as a keyboard.

A machining process information output unit for outputting the contents stored in the machining process information storage unit as a machining process information file; a machining process information input unit for storing the machining process information file in the machining process information storage unit; Is added to the numerical control device described above. In this case, the optimum processing obtained by operating an input device such as a keyboard or an override instructing means such as an override switch can be stored as a processing step information file, so that the optimum processing can be easily repeated.

And a machining program input means for storing the other parts in the machining process information storage means.
In this case, the optimum processing obtained by operating an input device such as a keyboard or an override instructing means such as an override switch can be stored as a processing program file, so that the optimum processing can be easily repeated.
