Automatisches Programmier-Verfahren und Einrichtung für ein Mehrsystem-Maschinenwerkzeug

摘要

An automatic programming system automatically decides which machining system should perform which machining step and generates a machining program therefor. The programming system utilizes a machining step information, a workpiece information, a tool information and a machining step corresponding workpiece information. The machining step information defines a machining step kind and a machining specification for each machining step. The workpiece information defines a workpiece material and a workpiece shape for each workpiece. The tool information defines a specification of a tool used in each machining system, a machining step kind workable and workpiece material workable by the tool. The machining step corresponding workpiece information defines a workpiece used in each machining step. Moreover, a machining system for actually performing the machining step is decided when there are plural workable machining systems on the basis of a system priority rule information which defines a preferred machining system when there are plural workable machining systems.
