Process and program for a numerical control of a machine tool and a numerical control which works with means of this program

摘要

The procedure for generating step tables for digital control of a machine tool includes a preliminary step (20) of a creating a catalogue of tools, allowing the operator to define the tools mounted on the machine tool. A further preliminary stage (21) allows the operator to provide parameters characteristic of the workpiece to be machined. The next stage (22) allows definition of the channels and system axes, and introduction of a plan of the successive operations required. Synchronisation rules (23) are then imposed relating to the operations effected on different axes. The different operations are put into ISO or other computer language, and an operating program prepared. Step tables are then generated from this information.
