[0001] The present disclosure relates to a processing information display device.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, in handling machine tools, it may be necessary to set optimal acceleration / deceleration parameters according to the workpiece to be processed or the processing method, and then process the workpiece. When machining a workpiece such as an automotive part, high-speed acceleration / deceleration parameters are required because contour accuracy is not necessary. On the other hand, in die machining that requires contour accuracy such as electric discharge machining, acceleration / deceleration parameters that can exhibit high contour accuracy are required.

[0003] Thus, conventionally, by arbitrarily changing the acceleration / deceleration parameters, efficient processing has been performed according to the workpiece to be processed or the processing method. However, in order to change the parameters according to the workpiece to be processed, a skilled person who is familiar with machining by a machine tool and the handling of a numerical control device is required. In addition, it is difficult for a beginner user to perform it by himself / herself, and it is costly for a skilled person to visit the user.

[0004] In consideration of the above circumstances, a conventional numerical control device stores in advance a combination of acceleration / deceleration parameters defined based on the operating performance of a machine tool as a function of setting a machining mode. Then, the numerical control device can change the acceleration / deceleration parameters collectively for each workpiece to be processed even by a non-skilled person by arbitrarily selecting a pattern on the screen of the display device of the numerical control device or by commanding with an M code. As such a technique, for example, a document such as Patent Document 1 is disclosed.

Patent Document 1

[0006] Since these machining modes are primarily intended for novice users, the numerical control system did not display the adjustment range level and acceleration / deceleration parameters on the display screen. Instead, it only showed the name of the machining mode or displayed maps, graphs, etc., that illustrated the trends of the machining mode. However, for experienced users familiar with machine tools and numerical control systems, it was sometimes difficult to grasp the specific adjustment range level and acceleration / deceleration parameters from maps and graphs, making the system less clear and more confusing.

[0007] For skilled operators with a thorough understanding of machine tools and numerical control systems, there is a need for technology that allows them to foresee how different machining modes will affect the machining process. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] One aspect of the present disclosure is a machining information display device having at least two machining modes that define a combination of at least one parameter from among acceleration / deceleration functions, servo functions, and compensation functions required for machining by a machine tool, a function to switch the parameters of the machining mode by applying one of the machining modes, and a display control unit that displays a parameter list including the machining modes and some or all of the parameters of the machining modes corresponding to the machining modes on a display device.

[0010] An example of an embodiment of this disclosure will be described below. Figure 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a numerical control device 1 as a processing information display device according to one embodiment of this disclosure.

[0011] A machining information display device is a device that displays information about the machining of a workpiece by a tool. A machining information display device can be realized by having one or more computer devices having memory, a processor, input / output interfaces, etc., execute an appropriate control program. As a specific example, a machining information display device other than the numerical control device 1 that controls the machine tool 2 described below may be a machining simulator that simulates the operation of a machine tool, a management computer that manages multiple machine tools, etc., with the functions described below added to them.

[0012] The numerical control device 1 is a device that controls the machine tool 2 to cause the machine tool 2 to perform predetermined machining operations. Here, the machine tool 2 may be, for example, a machining center having multiple drive shafts.

[0013] The numerical control device 1 comprises an input device 11, an input receiving unit 12, a parameter setting unit 13, a machining mode adjustment unit 14, a display control unit 15, a display device 16, a storage unit 17, and an axis control unit 18.

[0014] The input receiving unit 12, parameter setting unit 13, machining mode adjustment unit 14, display control unit 15, and axis control unit 18 are various functions realized by the control unit of the numerical control device 1. In other words, the control unit consists of one or more processors such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and realizes various functions by executing programs stored in the storage unit 17.

[0015] The storage unit 17 is composed of storage devices such as ROM (Read Only Memory), RAM (Random Access Memory), HDD (Hard Disk Drive), and SSD (Solid State Drive), and stores various types of information. In this embodiment, the storage unit 17 is located within the numerical control device 1, but the storage unit 17 may also be located in an external electronic device or external server.

[0016] The display device 16 displays various information based on signals transmitted from the display control unit 15. The display device 16 is composed of, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), an organic EL (organic electro-luminescence), a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), etc. In this embodiment, the display device 16 is provided within the numerical control device 1, but the display device 16 may be an external electronic device connected to the numerical control device 1, an external display device, etc.

[0017] The input device 11 consists of buttons, keys, switches, a keyboard, a mouse, a teach pendant, etc., and accepts various input operations from the user. The input device 11 and the display device 16 may be an integrated teach pendant with a touch panel or the like. The teach pendant may also be a tablet device.

[0018] The input reception unit 12 receives the input operations input by the input device 11 and provides information corresponding to the input operations to the parameter setting unit 13, the machining mode adjustment unit 14, the display control unit 15, the axis control unit 18, and the storage unit 17. The parameter setting unit 13 calculates and sets parameters related to the machining mode based on the input operations received by the input reception unit 12 and various information stored in the storage unit 17.

[0019] The machining mode adjustment unit 14 adjusts the settings related to the machining mode based on the input operations received by the input reception unit 12 and various information stored in the storage unit 17. The display control unit 15 causes the display device 16 to display information related to the machining mode. The axis control unit 18 controls the drive axes of the machine tool 2 such as the main axis and the feed axis.

[0020] The numerical control device 1 according to the present embodiment has at least two machining modes that define combinations of parameters of at least one of the acceleration / deceleration function, servo function, and correction function required for machining by the machine tool 2. The numerical control device 1 further has a function of switching the parameters of the machining mode by applying one of the machining modes. The display control unit 15 causes the display device 16 to display a parameter list including the machining mode and some or all of the parameters corresponding to the machining mode. Further, the machining modes are classified into one or more machining product types according to the machining.

[0021] The machining product types include parts, shapes / dies, IT, and 4-axis or 5-axis. The image indicating the machining mode is represented in any one of the display modes of a radar chart, a pie chart, a block gauge graph, and a map format. The machining mode defines a combination of parameters of at least one of the acceleration / deceleration function, servo function, and correction function required for machining by the machine tool 2. The machining modes are, for example, standard, high speed, contour machining, and low vibration.

[0022] Further, the acceleration / deceleration function is a function related to control for accelerating and decelerating the main axis, feed axis, etc., or a function related to control such as overlap and tap return speed. A servo function refers to a function related to the control of a servo motor. For example, a gain that improves the motor's responsiveness to commands falls under the category of a servo function. The correction function refers to a control function for correcting processing programs, TCPs, etc.

[0023] The machining indicators serve as markers for judging or evaluating the machining performed by machine tool 2. Examples of indicators include cycle time reduction, vibration damping, overlap, smoothness, accuracy, tapping speed, program compensation, and TCP (Tool Center Point Control) function.

[0024] The machining mode is classified into machining types according to the machining process. Here, the machining type is a combination of at least one parameter from acceleration / deceleration function, servo function, and compensation function according to the workpiece. Examples of machining types include parts, shapes / molds, IT, 4-axis or 5-axis, and the display control unit 15 displays the machining mode for each machining type on the display device 16.

[0025] Figure 2 is a diagram showing a display screen A1 related to processing modes according to this embodiment. As shown in Figure 2, the display screen A1 includes an image A11 showing information about processing modes, an image A12 showing radio buttons for selecting one processing mode, an image A13 showing a cursor indicating the currently selected (i.e., the one whose parameters are reflected) processing mode, an image A14 which is a software key for executing the function of selecting a processing mode, and an image A15 which is a software key for executing the function of adjusting the processing mode.

[0026] Furthermore, as shown in display screen A1 of Figure 2, the current processing mode is set to "Standard" and the processing type is set to "Parts". For example, if the cursor in image A13 is pointing to processing mode "Standard" and processing type "Parts", selecting processing mode "High Speed" and processing type "Parts" using the radio buttons in image A12, and then selecting "Select Processing Mode" in image A14, will cause the cursor in image A13 to transition from processing mode "Standard" and processing type "Parts" to processing mode "High Speed" and processing type "Parts".

[0027] In image A11, the processing modes "Standard" and "High Speed" are selectable, and the processing types "Part," "Shape / Mold," and "IT" are selectable. In addition, in image A11, the processing mode parameters "Acceleration" and "Precision" are shown for each combination of processing mode and processing type. For example, in the combination of processing mode "Standard" and processing type "Part," the acceleration parameter is 2000 and the precision parameter is 2100. By displaying such a screen A1, the combination of processing mode and processing type becomes useful for novice users, while the processing mode parameters become useful for experienced users.

[0028] Furthermore, when the machining mode adjustment unit 14 receives an operation to select a machining mode from the parameter list, it applies the machining mode to the machine tool 2. Specifically, when the input reception unit 12 receives an input operation to image A14, the machining mode adjustment unit 14 executes the function to select a machining mode and applies the selected machining mode to the machine tool 2.

[0029] Furthermore, when the processing mode adjustment unit 14 receives an operation to adjust the processing mode in the parameter list, it adjusts the processing mode. Specifically, when the input reception unit 12 receives an input operation for image A15, the processing mode adjustment unit 14 executes the function to adjust the processing mode and adjusts the processing mode.

[0030] Furthermore, the display control unit 15 may display indicators related to the processing mode in the parameter list. Figure 3 shows the display screen B1 related to the processing mode according to this embodiment.

[0031] As shown in Figure 3, the display screen B1 includes an image B11 showing information about the processing mode, an image B12 showing radio buttons for selecting one processing mode, an image B13 showing a cursor indicating the currently selected processing mode, an image B14 which is a software key for performing the function of selecting a processing mode, and an image B15 which is a software key for performing the function of adjusting the processing mode.

[0032] The display screen B1 shown in Figure 3 shows processing mode parameters as shown in Figure 2, as well as processing indicators (processing mode trends). Specifically, in image B11, the indicators "cycle time reduction" and "accuracy" are shown. Here, the indicators are shown on a 10-level scale. For example, a score of "6 / 10" for the "cycle time reduction" indicator indicates a score of 6 out of 10. Alternatively, a score of 10 out of 10 could be represented as "100%", and a score of 6 out of 10 could be represented as "60%". In Figures 2 and 3 mentioned above, acceleration and accuracy are shown as processing mode parameters, but other parameters may also be added and shown. By displaying such a display screen B1, the combination of processing mode and processing type, as well as the indicators, will be useful for novice users, while the processing mode parameters will be useful for experienced users.

[0033] Furthermore, the display control unit 15 may display the characteristics of each processing mode on the display device 16, along with a list of processing modes and processing types, in a predetermined display format that is recognizable to the user, based on indicators related to processing. Here, the predetermined display format is one of the following: a radar chart, a pie chart, a block gauge graph, or a map (scatter plot).

[0034] Figure 4 shows a display screen C1 that displays the characteristics of the processing modes according to this embodiment in a radar chart. As shown in Figure 4, the display screen C1 includes an image C11 showing information about the processing modes, an image C12 showing radio buttons for selecting one processing mode, an image C13 showing a cursor indicating the currently selected processing mode, an image C14 which is a software key for executing the function of selecting a processing mode, and an image C15 which is a software key for executing the function of adjusting the processing mode. Furthermore, the display screen C1 includes an image C16 displayed on the right side of the screen that shows the characteristics of the processing modes in a radar chart.

[0035] Image C16 shows a radar chart when the cursor image C13, operated by the input device 11, has selected the processing type "part" and processing mode "standard". The radar chart shown in Image C16 displays scores for the following indicators: cycle time reduction, overlap, vibration damping, tapping speed, smoothness, and accuracy.

[0036] Furthermore, the display control unit 15 displays icons and names of each indicator at each vertex of the radar chart in image C16.

[0037] Furthermore, the processing varieties and processing modes described above may be arbitrarily set, created, and added by the user. For example, the processing mode adjustment unit 14 may arbitrarily set, create, and add processing varieties and processing modes based on the input operation received by the input reception unit 12, and the display control unit 15 may display the set, created, and added processing varieties and processing modes on the display device 16.

[0038] Furthermore, the display control unit 15 may display a parameter list on the display device 16 that includes the processing mode, the adjustment level for adjusting the processing mode, and some or all of the parameters corresponding to the processing mode. Figure 5 is a diagram showing a display screen D1 related to the processing mode according to this embodiment. As shown in Figure 5, the display screen D1 includes an image D11 showing information related to the processing mode, an image D12 showing radio buttons for selecting one processing mode, an image D13 showing a cursor indicating the currently selected processing mode, an image D14 which is a software key for executing the function of selecting a processing mode, and an image D15 which is a software key for executing the function of adjusting the processing mode.

[0039] In image D11 shown in Figure 5, the adjustment level of the processing mode parameters and the processing mode parameters are shown for each combination of processing mode and processing type. For example, in the combination of processing mode "Standard" and processing type "Parts," the adjustment level of the processing mode parameters "Acceleration" is 3 (Lv3), and the adjustment level of the processing mode parameters "Accuracy" is 2 (Lv2). By displaying such a screen D1, the combination of processing mode and processing type and the indicators become useful for novice users, while the adjustment level of the processing mode parameters and the processing mode parameters become useful for experienced users.

[0040] Furthermore, the display control unit 15 displays indicators related to the processing mode in a parameter list that includes the processing mode, the adjustment level for adjusting the processing mode, and some or all of the parameters corresponding to the processing mode.

[0041] Furthermore, the display control unit 15 displays the characteristics of each processing mode on the display device 16, along with a parameter list, in a predetermined display manner that is recognizable to the user, based on indicators related to processing.

[0042] Figure 6 shows a display screen E1 that displays the characteristics of the processing modes according to this embodiment in a radar chart. As shown in Figure 6, the display screen E1 includes an image E11 showing information about the processing modes, an image E12 showing radio buttons for selecting one processing mode, an image E13 showing a cursor indicating the currently selected processing mode, an image E14 which is a software key for executing the function of selecting a processing mode, and an image E15 which is a software key for executing the function of adjusting the processing mode. Furthermore, the display screen E1 includes an image E16 displayed in the upper left of the screen that shows the characteristics of the processing modes in a radar chart.

[0043] In image E11 shown in Figure 6, for each combination of processing mode and processed product, the processing indicators, the adjustment levels of the processing mode parameters, and the processing mode parameters are shown. Image E16 shows a radar chart when the cursor image E13, operated by the input device 11, has selected processed product "part" and processing mode "standard". The radar chart shown in image E16 shows the scores for the following indicators: cycle time reduction, overlap, vibration damping, tapping speed, smoothness, and accuracy.

[0044] Figures 7 to 9 illustrate the process of displaying, selecting, and adjusting information regarding the processing mode. In Figures 7 to 9, the display screen C1 shown in Figure 4 is used as an example of a display screen. Figure 7 is a flowchart illustrating the process flow for displaying information regarding the processing mode. In step S1, for each processing mode, the display control unit 15 displays the name of the processing mode on the image (image C11) showing information regarding the processing mode.

[0045] In step S2, the parameter setting unit 13 obtains the adjustment status of the parameters for each processing mode whose name is displayed from the storage unit 17.

[0046] In step S3, the parameter setting unit 13 obtains the parameter settings for each processing mode from the storage unit 17. In step S4, the display control unit 15 displays the acquired parameter settings for each processing mode on the display device 16 (for example, image C11).

[0047] In step S5, an indicator related to processing is calculated based on the values ​​obtained in steps S2 to S4.

[0048] In step S6, the display control unit 15 displays the calculated indicators (parameter trends) related to the processing.

[0049] In step S7, the display control unit 15 draws a radar chart graph from the calculated processing indicators (for example, image C16) and terminates the process.

[0050] Figure 8 is a flowchart showing the process flow for selecting information regarding the processing mode. In step S11, the input receiving unit 12 receives an input operation from the input device 11 to image A12 and moves the cursor to one processing mode (for example, image C13).

[0051] In step S12, when the input receiving unit 12 receives an input operation for image C14, the processing mode adjustment unit 14 executes a function to select the processing mode to which the cursor was moved in step S1, and the parameter setting unit 13 obtains the adjustment status of the processing mode parameters from the storage unit 17.

[0052] In step S13, the parameter setting unit 13 obtains the parameter setting values ​​for the processing mode from the storage unit 17.

[0053] In step S14, the parameter setting unit 13 sets the parameters of the processing mode based on the adjustment status of the acquired processing mode parameters and the parameter setting values.

[0054] In step S15, the display control unit 15 reflects the parameters of the set processing mode, changes the display of the current processing mode, and terminates the process.

[0055] Figure 9 is a flowchart showing the process flow for adjusting information related to the processing mode. In step S21, the input receiving unit 12 receives an input operation from the input device 11 and moves the cursor to one processing mode (for example, image C13).

[0056] In step S22, when the input receiving unit 12 receives an input operation for image C15, the processing mode adjustment unit 14 performs a function to adjust the processing mode to which the cursor was moved in step S21, and the parameter setting unit 13 obtains the adjustment status of the processing mode parameters from the storage unit 17.

[0057] In step S23, the display control unit 15 displays an adjustment screen for adjusting the adjustment level of the processing mode parameters (for example, image D11 shown in Figure 5).

[0058] In step S24, the parameter setting unit 13 receives input operations from the input receiving unit 12 to the adjustment screen and performs the adjustment work. The adjustment work includes, for example, inputting numerical values ​​using the input device 11 and moving sliders to adjust the adjustment level.

[0059] In step S25, the parameter setting unit 13 determines whether or not to reflect the input adjustment. If the input adjustment is to be reflected (YES), the process moves to step S26. On the other hand, if the input adjustment is not to be reflected (NO), the process moves to step S27.

[0060] In step S26, the display control unit 15 reflects the input adjustments on the display screen. For example, the display control unit 15 reflects the adjustment level of the processing mode adjusted in step S24. In this case, the parameters of the processing mode do not change.

[0061] In step S27, the parameter setting unit 13 determines whether the adjustment target is the currently selected machining mode. If the adjustment target is the currently selected machining mode (YES), the process proceeds to step S28. On the other hand, if the adjustment target is not the currently selected machining mode (NO), the process then terminates.

[0062] In step S28, the parameter setting unit 13 obtains the parameter setting values ​​for the currently selected machining mode from the storage unit 17. In step S29, the parameter setting unit 13 sets the parameter settings for the acquired processing mode, and the process then ends. Through the processes described above, the numerical control device 1 can display, select, and adjust information related to the processing mode.

[0063] According to this embodiment, the numerical control device 1 has at least two machining modes, each defining a combination of at least one parameter from among the acceleration / deceleration function, servo function, and correction function required for machining by the machine tool 2. The numerical control device 1 further has a function to switch the parameters of a machining mode by applying one of the machining modes. The display control unit 15 displays a parameter list, including the machining mode and some or all of the parameters corresponding to the machining mode, on the display device 16. With this configuration, an experienced user of the numerical control device 1 can grasp the specific parameters that switch depending on the machining mode and foresee how the machining mode affects the machining.

[0064] Furthermore, the display control unit 15 may display indicators related to the machining mode in the parameter list. This allows the numerical control device 1 to provide a display of machining modes and indicators that is easy for both experienced and novice users to understand.

[0065] Furthermore, the display control unit 15 may display the characteristics of each processing mode on the display device 16, along with a list of processing modes and processed product types, in a predetermined display manner that is recognizable to the user, based on indicators related to processing. This allows the numerical control device 1 to easily select a processing mode for the machine tool 2 regardless of the user's skill level, enabling efficient processing to be performed easily.

[0066] Furthermore, the display control unit 15 may display a parameter list on the display device 16 that includes the processing mode, the adjustment level for adjusting the processing mode, and some or all of the parameters corresponding to the processing mode. This allows experienced users of the numerical control device 1 to understand the specific parameters that switch depending on the processing mode and to foresee how the processing mode affects the processing, while novice users can easily perform efficient processing by understanding the processing mode and indicators.

[0067] Furthermore, the display control unit 15 displays indicators related to the machining mode in a parameter list that includes the machining mode, the adjustment level for adjusting the machining mode, and some or all of the parameters corresponding to the machining mode. As a result, the numerical control device 1 can provide a display of machining modes and indicators that is easy for both experienced and novice users to understand.

[0068] Furthermore, the display control unit 15 displays the characteristics of each machining mode on the display device 16, along with a parameter list, in a predetermined display format that is recognizable to the user, based on indicators related to machining. As a result, the numerical control device 1 can easily select the machining mode of the machine tool 2 regardless of the user's skill level, enabling efficient machining to be performed easily.

[0069] Furthermore, when the machining mode adjustment unit 14 receives an operation to select a machining mode from the parameter list, it applies the machining mode to the machine tool 2. Specifically, when the input reception unit 12 receives an input operation to image A14, the machining mode adjustment unit 14 executes the function of selecting a machining mode and applies the selected machining mode to the machine tool 2. This allows the numerical control device 1 to select each machining mode appropriately.

[0070] Furthermore, when the processing mode adjustment unit 14 receives an operation to adjust the processing mode in the parameter list, it adjusts the processing mode. Specifically, when the input reception unit 12 receives an input operation for image A15, the processing mode adjustment unit 14 executes the function to adjust the processing mode and adjusts the processing mode. This allows the numerical control device 1 to suitably adjust the parameters and adjustment levels of the processing mode.

[0071] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the numerical control device 1 described above can be implemented by hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Furthermore, the control method performed by the numerical control device 1 can also be implemented by hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Here, implementation by software means implementation by a computer reading and executing a program.

[0072] Programs can be stored and supplied to a computer using various types of non-transitory computer-readable media. Non-transitory computer-readable media include various types of tangible storage media. Examples of non-transitory computer-readable media include magnetic recording media (e.g., hard disk drives), magneto-optical recording media (e.g., magneto-optical disks), CD-ROMs (Read Only Memory), CD-Rs, CD-R / Ws, and semiconductor memory (e.g., mask ROMs, PROMs (Programmable ROMs), EPROMs (Erasable PROMs), flash ROMs, and RAMs (random access memory)).
