摘要:
A machining method is for determining numerical control information in a numerical control machine tool apparatus. A method includes inputting workpiece data denoting an initial shape of a workpiece which is to be machined, and further inputting product data denoting a desired final shape of the workpiece after it has been machined. Then, a machining area of the workpiece based on the workpiece data and the product data is determined. The thus determined machining area is divided into plural machining locations, and the numerical control information is prepared based on the plural machining locations. The workpiece is then machined based on the thus prepared numerical control information.

In a numerical control information generating apparatus and a method for determining machining modes thereof, machining areas are divided appropriately and machining modes most suitable for each divided area are determined. Therefore, the most efficient tool trace can be obtaianed and the overall cutting time can be shortened.
摘要:
A method for determining a machining method in a numerical control information generating apparatus is realized by the steps of: dividing an area where recessed shapes overlap into a machining area where recessed shapes overlap and an area where recessed shapes do not overlap; determining a cutting tool for a machining area where recessed shapes do not overlap; determining whether or not the machining area where recessed shapes overlap can be cut by the same cutting tool, and combining the machining area where recessed shapes overlap with the machining area where recessed shapes do not overlap. As a result of this, machining modes can be determined automatically for a shape where recessed shapes overlap.
摘要:
A plurality of parameter-sets, the components of which are parameter items for determining a machining method, are provided, stored in advance. The Most suitable machining method is determined for a subject workpiece by allowing an operator to select the most suitable parameter-set from among the plurality of the parameter-sets used in to determining the machining method.
摘要:
A numerical control information generating system evaluates all the factors comprehensively in determination of a machining method simply by comparing a threshold with a sum of evaluation values of plural judgement factors. The evaluation values of the judgement factors may be obtained by an evaluation function assigned to each of the factors. If the evaluation values are defined to be varying continuously, they become close to dimensions which are approximate to each other. This may minimize the inconveniences heretofore caused in determination of a machining method such that an extremely small dimensional difference in a step distinguishes a face machining from a longitudinal machining. If the weight which is to be multiplied on each of the judgement factors is suitably varied, the factors may easily be selected or prioritized according to the intent of an operator. Moreover, the ratio of the face machining against the longitudinal machining may be adjusted by suitably setting a threshold.
摘要:
A machining region which is determined from an inputted before-machining shape and an inputted after-machining shape is divided and the divided machining regions are united to form a united machining region. An optimum machining process is obtained by selecting an optimum combination of the machining regions based on parameters set in advance, and determining a machining method for the united machining region. That is, a numerical control information generating apparatus generates numerical control information by determining a machining method from a before-machining shape and an after-machining shape by generating a machining region from the before-machining shape and after-machined shape, judging pattern elements forming an angle to a Z-axis of more than a predetermined value among a series of pattern elements constituting the generated machining region, dividing the machining region by lines which are parallel to the Z-axis and each pass through a corresponding starting point of a judged pattern element and lines which are parallel to the Z-axis and each pass through a corresponding end point of the judged pattern element region, and uniting divided machining regions based on predetermined parameters so as to determine a machining method for the united machining region.
