Control device for machine tool
A control device for a machine tool that moves a tool relative to a workpiece and/or vice versa and machines said workpiece. Said control device is provided with a display unit that displays information related to the machine tool, a first-layer generation unit that generates a first layer that contains machining information related to the machining being performed on the workpiece, and a second-layer generation unit that generates a second layer that contains an image or handwritten note related to the machining information in the first layer. The display unit displays an image consisting of the second layer superimposed onto the first layer.
1. A control device of a machine tool which machines a workpiece by relatively moving a tool and the workpiece, the control device of the machine tool comprising:
a display part which displays information associated with a machine tool;
a first layer generation part which generates a first layer containing machining information associated with machining of the workpiece;
a second layer generation part which generates a second layer containing an image associated with the machining information of the first layer; and
a third layer generation part which generates a third layer containing a handwritten note; wherein
the machining information includes numerical values with respect to a reference point of other coordinate system which differs from a machine coordinate system having a predetermined point of the machine tool as an origin, and
the display part superposes an image in which the second layer and the third layer are superposed, on the first layer, and displays the superposed image outside of an area in which the numerical values with respect to the reference point of the other coordinate system are displayed in the first layer.
2. The control device of the machine tool according to claim 1 , further comprising a storage part which individually stores the second layer and the third layer, wherein
the third layer generation part reads the third layer from the storage part, and is formed to be capable of editing the handwritten note of the third layer.
3. The control device of the machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein
the machining information includes at least one of a machining program, a number for specifying the machining program, a reference point of a workpiece coordinate system, tool information, and a workpiece inspection item.
4. The control device of the machine tool according to claim 1 , further comprising an image capture device disposed to be capable of capturing the workpiece or the tool, wherein the second layer generation part takes an image from the image capture device and inputs the image into the second layer.
