Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an operational program of a numerical control machine, which includes: a main menu in which main menus including a tool management menu and a tool setting menu are arranged; a detail information in which the list of tools mounted on a machine tool is outputted, when the tool management menu is selected from the main menu; a preview that displaying the machining state of a material on the basis of the information inputted through the main menu; and a function selection in which function selection icons for selecting and adding new tools are arranged, in which when the tool management tool is selected from the main menu, “register new tool item” is shown up on the function selection icons, and the function selection icon for selecting a new tool is selected, a tool database including characters, symbols, and images for tool lists is outputted in the detail information in accordance with a machining method so that a new tool can be registered.

Claims (26)

1. An operational program of a numerical control machine, comprising:

a main menu area in which main menus including a tool management menu and a tool setting menu are arranged;

a detail information area in which the list of tools mounted on a machine tool is outputted, when the tool management menu is selected from the main menu area;

a preview area that displaying the machining state of a material on the basis of the information inputted through the main menu area; and

a function selection area in which a function selection icons are arranged to perform an additional function,

wherein when the tool management menu is selected from the main menu area, a icon for registering a new tool is shown up on the function selection area, and

the icon for registering a new tool is selected, a tool database including characters, symbols, and images for tool lists is outputted in the detail information area in accordance with a machining method so that a new tool can be registered.

2. The operational program of claim 1 , wherein when a specific tool is selected from the tool database, a tool information area and a basic tool image area are outputted in the detail information area, parameter values of the tool are inputted from the tool information area, and an image of the tool is displayed in the basic tool image area.

3. The operational system of claim 2 , wherein when a specific tool is selected from the tool database, a tool information area and a basic tool image area are outputted in the detail information area, cutting information on the tool to be newly registered is inputted in the tool information area, and an image of the tool is displayed in the basic tool image area.

4. The operational system of claim 1 , wherein when a specific tool is selected from the tool database, a tool information area and a basic tool image area are outputted in the detail information area, cutting information on the tool to be newly registered is inputted in the tool information area, and an image of the tool is displayed in the basic tool image area.

5. The operational program of claim 1 , wherein when the tool setting menu is selected from the main menu area, an area where process parameter values can be inputted, a tool information presentation area, and an illustration area are displayed in the detail information area, and

when the process parameter values are inputted, a tool suitable for the values is recommended in the tool information presentation area and the image of the tool is outputted in the illustration area.

6. The operational program of claim 5 , wherein when a plurality of tools is to be recommended, the list of tools is outputted and a desired tool is selected.

7. The operational program of claim 5 , wherein when the process parameter values are inputted, a machining process suitable for the illustration area is outputted as an associated image.

8. A tool selection method of a numerical control machine, comprising:

receiving basic information such as the quality of a material to be machined;

selecting a process for machining;

receiving the shape to be machined and numerical information;

displaying a tool suitable for the selected process and receiving a specific tool selected by a user;

examining suitability of the tool for the material to be machined;

receiving a machining method of any one of general turning, grooving, center hole drilling, and threading selected by a user; and

displaying a tool suitable for the machining method selected by a user, using the shape to be machined and the numerical information.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein when a machining for the general turning is selected, a tool that does not interfere with inner diameter machining in inner diameter machining is recommended, and when it is not inner diameter machining, tools suitable for a rough process and a finish process are sequentially shown to a user.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein suitability of a tool for the material to be machined is examined by filtering tools suitable for the material to be used and showing the tools to a user on the basis of recommended tool information according to the quality of a material to be machined, which is stored in a memory of a machine tool.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the displaying of a tool suitable for grooving includes displaying a tool suitable for the grooving method on the basis of any one selected from the information on a groove depth, a groove width, and the radius of a workpiece inputted by a user in the machining of shape.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the displaying of a tool suitable for center hole drilling includes displaying a tool suitable for the center hole drilling method on the basis of any one selected from the information on a hole depth, a hole diameter, a hole depth, a pitch, a threaded shape, and the radius of a workpiece inputted by a user in the machining of shape.
