Abstract

Claims (18)

1 . A numerical control device that controls a machine tool, the numerical control device comprising a processor, the processor:

acquires setup information required for a setup operation from machining program related information including at least one of a part or whole of a machining program of the machine tool or information related to the machining program;

acquires setup basic information from device registration information registered in a device configured to execute a machining program of the machine tool and generates setup support information from the setup information and the setup basic information; and

supports a setup operation of the machining program by using the setup information and the setup support information,

wherein the setup basic information includes a workpiece origin and a workpiece material shape, and

wherein the processor calculates, from the workpiece origin and the workpiece material shape acquired from the machining program, a measuring method performed on a workpiece.

2 . The numerical control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor creates a setup support window indicating a procedure of a setup operation by using the setup support information.

3 . The numerical control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor creates document data indicating a procedure of a setup operation by using the setup support information.

4 . The numerical control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor creates a control program or signal that causes a peripheral device to perform a setup operation by using the setup support information.

5 . A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing a computer readable instruction for: when executed by one or a plurality of processors:

acquiring setup information required for a setup operation from machining program related information including at least one of a part or whole of a machining program of a machine tool or information related to the machining program;

acquiring setup basic information from device registration information registered in a device configured to execute a machining program of the machine tool and generating setup support information from the setup information and the setup basic information; and

performing setup support corresponding to the machining program by using the setup support information,

wherein the setup basic information includes a workpiece origin and a workpiece material shape, and

wherein in the generating setup support information calculates, from the workpiece origin and the workpiece material shape acquired from the machining program, a measuring method performed on a workpiece.

6 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium according to claim 5 storing a computer readable instruction for creating a setup support window indicating a procedure of a setup support operation by using the setup support information to perform setup support corresponding to the machining program.

7 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium according to claim 5 storing a computer readable instruction for creating document data indicating a procedure of setup support by using the setup support information to perform setup support corresponding to the machining program.

8 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium according to claim 5 storing a computer readable instruction for creating a control program or signal that causes a robot or a transport machine to perform a setup operation by using the setup support information.
