Abstract:
To provide a control device, a control method and a control program that enables normal restart of the execution of a machining program. A numerical controller includes an execution control unit configured to execute a machining program for controlling operation of a machine tool from a designated block, a start processing unit configured to set, when a subsequence called from a predetermined block in the machining program is started, a flag indicating that the subsequence is under execution, and a termination processing unit configured to reset the flag following termination of the subsequence. When the execution control unit is instructed, following interruption of execution of the machining program, to restart the machining program from a block succeeding the predetermined block, if the flag is set, the execution control unit suspends the execution of the machining program.

A numerical controller configured to control a machine tool for machining the workpiece on the basis of a machining program composed of a plurality of blocks includes a corner multiple curves inserting unit. This corner multiple curves inserting unit inserts, between consecutive two blocks, three cubic polynomial curves in which a position, a direction and a curvature are continuous and the distances from these two blocks are within a prescribed allowable tolerance, if a direction or a curvature between these two blocks is discontinuous in the machining program.

Abstract:
A numerical controller suppresses change of a axis speed to be slow even when a lookahead distance varies with small steps. The numerical controller includes: a lookahead unit that looks ahead a plurality of instruction blocks from an NC program; an analysis unit that analyzes the looked ahead instruction blocks and creates motion instruction data; a target speed calculation unit that calculates a target speed of the axis based on a lookahead distance; an interpolation unit that generates interpolation data based on the motion instruction data and the target speed; and a servo control unit that controls a motor based on the interpolation data. The target speed calculation unit refrains from recalculation of the target speed when a change of the lookahead distance is within a margin.
Abstract:
A numerical controller includes a path conversion unit for obtaining a curved correction path passing through three points corresponding to a start point and an end point of a third block, and a shift point obtained by shifting an intermediate point of a command path based on the third block in an inward direction of a corner path within a limit of a preset allowable error amount when the corner path is formed by a series of blocks and a tangential direction of the corner path is continuous, and generating a path obtained by replacing the command path of the third block included in the corner path by the correction path, the third block commanding curvilinear movement at a larger curvature than a first curvature and a second curvature being interposed between the first block.
Abstract:
A numerical controller controls a machine tool with a plurality of control axes so as to compensate an inward turning error by inserting a curved movement path into a corner section between two consecutive blocks. An estimated inward turning amount generated as the corner section is subjected to post-interpolation acceleration/deceleration is calculated based on the radius of curvature of the curve and allowable accelerations of the axes of the machine tool, and such a curved movement path that its inward turning amount has a value obtained by subtracting the estimated inward turning amount from a tolerance is inserted into the corner section if the sum of the estimated inward turning and the inward turning amount of the curve is larger than the tolerance.
