A three-dimensional tool path determination method for determining at least one path out of an approach path along which a tool 11 of a machine tool having three or more controlled axes is made to approach a workpiece, and a retraction path along which the tool 11 is retracted from the workpiece after machining is completed. The three-dimensional tool path determination method includes steps of designating a prescribed tool path pattern from among a plurality of tool path patterns, which prescribed tool path pattern includes an undecided portion (coordinate values of P.sub.1, P.sub.2), entering data specifying the undecided portion of the tool path pattern, which data includes at least a target position (P.sub.e) and a distance (d.sub.1), calculating the undecided portion by using the input data and an arithmetic expression that corresponds to the designated tool path pattern, and creating NC data specifying a three-dimensional tool path by using the obtained coordinate values of the points (P.sub.1, P.sub.2).

A color display method for a system having an automatic programming unit (101) equipped with a color display function, and an NC unit (102) which does not possess a color display function, wherein a correlation between a display item and a display color for an NC mode of operation is stored beforehand in a memory (105c) of a control unit (105). When a predetermined item display request key provided on an operator's panel (104) is pressed while in the NC mode, a control unit (105) informs the NC unit (102) of the name of the item for which display has been requested and applies color information, which corresponds to the item for which display has been requested, to a color display device (106). The NC unit applies item data, corresponding to the name of the item, to the color display device which displays the item data in a color designated by the color information applied thereto by the control unit (105).

A curved surface machining method for machining a curved surface through unidirectional cutting by automatically creating a pick-feed path that will not cause a tool (TL) to strike a workpiece when a pick-feed is performed, pick-feeding the tool along the path, and thereafter performing cutting. The pick-feed path is obtained by using a given tool retraction quantity l for retracting the tool from a cutting path end point Pe, a clearance plane (CPL), coordinate values of the cutting end point Pe, and coordinate values of a cutting starting point Ps on the next cutting path. Specifically, there are obtained: coordinate values of a point Pa distanced from the cutting path end point Pe by the tool retraction quantity l in the direction of the central axis of the tool; coordinate values of the foot Pb of a perpendicular dropped from the point Pa to the clearance plane (CPL); coordinate values of a point Pd distanced from the cutting starting point Ps of the next cutting path (PT2) by the tool retraction quantity l in the direction of the central axis of the tool; and coordinate values of the foot Pc of a perpendicular dropped from the point Pd to the clearance plane. The path Pe.fwdarw.Pa.fwdarw.Pb.fwdarw.Pc.fwdarw.Pd.fwdarw.Ps serves as the pick-feed path.

A cutting direction input method in automatic programming for deciding a path cutting direction, includes the following steps. A path trajectory comprising a number of path blocks (b.sub.1 .about.b.sub.15), is displayed on a display screen (105) by using path data, and a path starting point side (P.sub.2) or path end point side (P15) is indicated by a cursor (CSR).

There is disclosed a numerically controlled cutting method of cutting a curved surface SF generated by interconnecting corresponding points mi, ni (i=1, 2, . . . ) on two curved lines CV1, CV2 with a cutter BT of a milling machine having simultaneously controlled five axes or a wire electrode of a wire-cut electric discharge cutting machine. According to the numerically controlled cutting method, curve information specifying the two curved lines CV1, CV2, information on tool radius or wire radius, information on the direction of tool or wire compensation, and division information for dividing the curved lines are supplied as inputs. Using the above items of information an offset position at dividing points mi, ni, which are next to dividing points mi-1, ni-1 at which the cutter BT or wire is currently positioned, is determined. The cutter BT or wire is then moved to the offset position to cut the curved surface SF.

摘要:
A curved surface generation method well-suited for application to the preparation of a numerical control tape used in the numerically controlled machining of a three-dimensional body such as a three-dimensional mold. The surface creation method includes steps of defining, on a first section curve or reference curve of a three-dimensional curved body, a point Pi (i=1,2 . . . ) which corresponds to a point Qi (i=1,2 . . . ) on a second section curve or reference curve, and generating an intermediate section curve in accordance with the established correspondence. A curved surface is created by collecting a plurality of the intermediate section curves together. Accordingly, the invention raises the degree of freedom with which a curved surface is created, and enables the accurate creation of a curved surface featuring subtle changes, allowing the precise machining of a three-dimensional body.
