    Abstract: A method of creating NC data for a complex curved surface (10) which has a combination of at least two three-dimensional curved surfaces (11, 12). The NC data creation method includes inputting data specifying each of the curved surfaces (11, 12) and data for specifying cutting path patterns (a pattern 21 of radiating straight lines and a pattern 22 of parallel straight lines) for respective ones of the curved surfaces. Points are obtained discretely from a cutting starting point (P.sub.i) of one curved surface (11) to a boundary point (R.sub.i) with the other curved surface (12) along the radiating-type cutting path pattern (21) set for this curved surface. Points are also obtained discretely on the other curved surface along the cutting path pattern (22) of parallel straight lines specified with respect to the other curved surface (12). A pick-feed is performed points are obtained discretely along the cutting path pattern on each of the curved surfaces in similar fashion. NC data for generating a complex curved surface by successively traversing each of the points, is created.

    Abstract: A numerical control method and an apparatus therefor, in which a mold opening operation or an eject operation is performed during a metering operation so that the injection-molding cycle time is shortened. When a cooling period terminates or mold opening is completed during the metering operation, a programmable machine controller for sequentially controlling an injection-molding machine delivers information specifying a clamp axis or an eject axis, the displacement, moving speed, and moving direction of the axis, and a step feed command to a numerical control unit for controlling servomotors for axes of the injection-molding machine, through a common RAM. Pulse distribution for the clamp axis or the eject axis, based on this information, and pulse distribution for a screw rotating axis are alternately executed by a numerical control unit, which responds to the step feed command. Thus, the screw rotating axis is driven simultaneously with the clamp axis or the eject axis, so that the mold opening or eject operation can be performed during the metering operation.

    Abstract: The issue of tool path generation has so far been approached from points of automatic programming system on typified by APT. In the automatic programming system, however, patterns of workpieces should be recognized by operators, and if the workpieces are of complicated shapes, it should require much skill and time. Studies have been conducted in recent years to generate tool paths by building up in advance solid models in a computer, and modifying the models for a particular problem everytime it needs to be solved. According to this invention method, a required shape and an environmental model including a workpiece are modeled in three-dimensions by using CSG models, and are offset in a normal direction of the surface in correspondence to the tool radius to convert the tool into a line tool so that the problem is replaced with a graphic problem viewed from the tool axis direction. In other words, this invention method attempts to solve the problem of checking tool collision by a hidden line or surface removal process of a graphic algorithm, and further the shape is offset by an offset value decided by taking into consideration an appropriate finish margin to thereby enhance efficiency in machining.

    Abstract translation: 迄今为止,以APT为代表的自动编程系统的问题已经探讨了刀具路径生成问题。 然而,在自动编程系统中,操作人员应该认识到工件的图案,如果工件的形状复杂,则需要很多技巧和时间。 近年来已经进行了研究,通过在计算机上预先建立固体模型,在每次需要解决的情况下修改特定问题的模型来生成工具路径。 根据本发明的方法,通过使用CSG模型,将包括工件的所需形状和环境模型三维地建模,并且在与刀具半径相对应的表面的法线方向上偏移以将工具转换成线 工具,使问题被从刀具轴方向看到的图形问题所取代。 换句话说,本发明的方法尝试通过图形算法的隐藏线或表面去除处理来解决检查刀具碰撞的问题,并且还通过考虑适当的精加工余量决定的偏移值来抵消形状的偏移。 提高加工效率。

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a surface cutting method for cutting a surface within an area (AR) bounded by a predetermined closed curve (CCL) by moving a tool (TL) along a cutting path (PT.sub.i) in a predetermined direction (direction of arrow A) to cut the surface within the area, thenceforth moving the tool along an adjacent cutting path (PT.sub.i+1), obtained by a shift of a predetermined amount, to cut the surface, and repeating these surface cutting operations.The surface cutting method includes obtaining an offset curve (OFC) offset by a predetermined amount to the outer side of the closed curve (CCL), obtaining width W, in the shift direction (direction of arrow B), of the area bounded by the offset curve (OFC), finding, from among lengths of line segments obtained by dividing the width W into n equal parts, a length closest to a predetermined maximum cut-in amount without exceeding the same, adopting this length as an actual cut-in amount P, and performing surface cutting by shifting the tool (TL) by the cut-in amount P in the shift direction after the end of surface cutting along the cutting path PT.sub.i, and thereafter moving the tool along the adjacent cutting path PT.sub.i+1. A cutting starting point (P.sub.i) and cutting end point (Q.sub.i) of each cutting path are provided on an offset curve (OFC') offset by a predetermined amount to the outer side of the closed curve (CCL) specifying the area.

    Abstract: A machining control method for an electrical discharge machine compensates for the lagging of the wire electrode as the electrode is advanced from a straight line portion to a change of direction portion of the outline to be machined. The wire electrode is advanced from the straight line portion of the outline until it reaches the change of direction point of the outline and is then halted until the wire electrode lag is corrected. During the halt, machining takes place under a different set of conditions. When the lag is corrected, the wire electrode is advanced along the change of direction portion under a third set of machining conditions. When the wire electrode reaches another straight line portion, the outline machining of the workpiece is resumed under the first set of machining conditions. Also disclosed is a method of controlling the positioning of a workpiece by trial positioning a large number of workpieces having a variety of weights under a variety of load conditions of the control motor. The positioning accuracy of the trial positionings are measured and a table of correction values for positioning according to the desired positioning is calculated and stored. When positioning a workpiece to be machined, the weight and motor load are compared to the stored correction values, a correction value is determined, and the workpiece is positioned using the determined correction value.
