Machine tool management device
A machine tool management device including process screen display section configured to display a process screen on display, the process screen being a screen corresponding to each of multiple machine tool related processes; menu display section configured to display on the process screen each of a free menu at which it is possible to register any of the multiple machine tool related processes and a fixed menu at which specific processes of the multiple machine tool related processes are displayed; specific person authentication section configured to authenticate a specific person such that an entry operation via display is restricted to only the specific operator; and display menu changing section configured to receive an operation by an operator authenticated by specific person authentication section.
1. A machine tool management device for managing a machine tool, the machine tool management device comprising:
a display on the machine tool configured to display and select image data; and processing circuitry configured to
control the display to display a process screen on the display, the process screen being a screen corresponding to processes of the machine tool, the process screen including (a) a free menu at which it is possible to register any of the processes of the machine tool and (b) a fixed menu at which specific processes are displayed, the process screens corresponding to one of the processes of the machine tool being displayed on the display such that the menus are used for an operator to select one of the processes of the machine tool;
authenticate a specific person such that an entry operation via the display is restricted to only the specific person; and
receive an operation by an operator authenticated as the specific person to perform the entry operation via the display of at least one of (A) changing of a display position of each of the free menu and the fixed menu on the process screen, and (B) changing the presence or absence of the display of each of the free menu and the fixed menu on the process screen.
2. The machine tool management device according to claim 1 , wherein
the processing circuitry is configured to receive an operation by the operator authenticated as the specific person so as to perform registering and changing of the process on the free menu.
3. The machine tool management device according to claim 2 , wherein
in a case in which the process among the processes of the machine tool registered to the fixed menu is defined as a fixed-menu-registered-process and the process among the processes of the machine tool not registered to the fixed menu is defined as a fixed-menu-non-registered-process, the processing circuitry is configured to display on the display a non-registered process icon representing at least one of the fixed-menu-non-registered-processes on the process screen corresponding to at least one of the fixed-menu-non-registered-processes, and, when the operator performs the operation with respect to the non-registered process icon, to display the process screen of the fixed-menu-non-registered-process represented by the non-registered process icon on the display, and
the processing circuitry is configured to receive the operation by the operator authenticated as the specific person so as to register both the fixed-menu-registered-process and the fixed-menu-non-registered-process on the free menu.
