Machine tool control device has data sets in memory that prevent any tool collisions occurring, with one data set input by an operator relating to machine tool conditions and the other generated by a collision prediction device

摘要

Machine tool control device has a memory (22) that contains data sets (D1-D5) for controlling machining. The first three relate to the machining path, the fourth is input by an operator and relates to conditions to be adhered to during machining, while the fifth is generated by a prediction device that determines whether the machine tool is likely to exceed the conditions defined in the fourth data set and if so generates the fifth data set to prevent such an exceeding of the working conditions.
