Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an inserting method for inserting an NC program for processing by a numerical control (NC) device into digitizing data created by a copying device, and particularly, The present invention relates to an insertion method that allows easy insertion of a predetermined NC program while reading Ising data.

(Technical background of the invention and its problems) The digitizing data collected by the copying apparatus is
It only shows the position data of the workpiece, and machining cannot be performed by the NC device only with this digitizing data. Therefore, when machining is performed by the NC device, a predetermined “G code (preparation function)”, “M code (auxiliary function)”, “T code (tool function)” is set at a predetermined position of the digitizing data. , Insert the corresponding NC program including various functions such as "F code (feed function)" or "S code (spindle function)",
I have to order the processing.

Therefore, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 3, the NC program identification information to be inserted is inserted at the NC program insertion step (hereinafter referred to as insertion timing) at the time of digitizing start, end, pick feed start, end, etc. Corresponding each time, from the NC program table corresponding to the NC program identification information (hereinafter referred to as program name) as shown in FIG. The NC program to be used is inserted into the digitizing data (Figs. 8 and 9).

However, in such a conventional insertion method, when the NC device to be actually processed is changed when machining is performed by the NC device using the created digitizing data, the same NC program may be changed depending on the NC device. Can't use
It was necessary to change the above insertion timing and the NC program name correspondence table to be inserted, or to change the NC program to be inserted, which placed a great burden on the operator. Further, when it is desired to change the processing conditions during the process such as in multi-step copying, the NC program to be inserted must be changed each time at a process break or the like, which causes a great burden on the operator. .

(Object of the Invention) The present invention has been made under the circumstances as described above, and an object of the present invention is to digitize data created by a copying apparatus, when inserting an NC program to be processed by an NC apparatus, Even if the NC device to be actually machined is changed, it is possible to flexibly respond with simple operations, and even if you want to change machining conditions in the middle such as multi-step copying, you can flexibly respond to the digitizing data with NC. It is to provide a program insertion method.

(Summary of the Invention) The present invention relates to a method for inserting an NC program into digitizing data created by a copying apparatus, in which a program name of an NC program to be inserted into the digitizing data is associated with a step of inserting the NC program. It is stored as a file, and a file name is assigned to each NC device or machining process that is actually processed, and
A NC program corresponding to the program name is stored for each NC device or machining process, and a file corresponding to the NC device or machining process is inserted when the NC program is inserted in the step while reading the digitizing data. The NC program inserted into the digitizing data can be changed by simply specifying the name.

(Embodiment of the Invention) FIG. 1 is a block configuration diagram and a flow thereof showing an outline of an apparatus for realizing an NC program insertion method into digitizing data of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is the third
As shown in the figure, it is a correspondence table in which the NC program insertion timing to the digitizing data and the NC program name to be inserted are associated with each other, and 2 is for each NC device or each process as shown in FIG. The NC program groups corresponding to the different NC program names to be inserted are given as file names by assigning file names to each of the above NC devices or each process, and these are a file group. These correspondence table 1 and file group 2
Is created separately in advance. Reference numeral 3 is a file designation memory for designating a corresponding file name from the file group, and 4 is a memory for storing the digitized data in which the NC program is inserted into the digitized data created by the copying apparatus.

Therefore, when the digitizing data as shown in FIG. 5 is created by the copying apparatus, the NC program should be inserted at the timing (for example, when digitizing is started).
When the program insertion timing signal SS is issued to the above correspondence table 1, the corresponding NC program name (for example, 1000) is selected from the correspondence table 1 shown in FIG.
Be transmitted to. This file group 2 is given a different file name (for example, "ARA.SUB", "SHIAGE.SUB") for each NC device or each process as shown in Fig. 4 and inserted for each file. Since the NC program group corresponding to the NC program name to be stored is stored, if the corresponding required file name (for example, "SHIAGE.SUB" for the finishing process) is specified from the file specification memory 3, Prescribed NC program (G00 Z500 T0101 / G01 M03 S100
0 F500) is selected, and digitized data in which a predetermined NC program is inserted is created and stored in the memory 4 as shown in FIG.

Details of the above insertion method will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

In executing the NC program insertion into the digitizing data according to the present invention, first, it is checked whether or not the file name of the NC program group to be inserted is designated in the file designation memory 3 (step S1). For example, the file name is input and designated by the program or the operation panel (step S2). When the file name is specified (here, "SHIAGE.SUB" is specified), it is checked whether the file is registered in the file group 2 shown in FIG. 4 (step S
3) If not registered, error processing is performed (step S
Four). When it is confirmed that the above files are registered, digitization is performed and work shape data is created (step S5). Then, if it is not necessary to change the specified file name (step S6), and if it has not been completed for all data (step S8), it is judged whether or not it is the NC program insertion timing (step S9),
As shown in FIG. 5, if the NC program insertion timing is reached at the start of digitizing, the corresponding NC program name “1000” is obtained from the correspondence table 1 shown in FIG. 3 (step S10). Therefore, the file specified above (“SHI
NC of the relevant NC program name ("1000") of "AGE.SUB")
Program (“G00 Z500 T0101 / G01 M03 S1000 F50
0 ”) is searched from the file group 2 (step S11),
If the NC program does not exist (step S12), error processing is performed (step S13). If there is, the NC program is inserted into the digitized data and stored in the memory 4 as shown in FIG. 6 (step S14). . Then, returning to step S5, the digitizing operation is continued.

If it is not the NC program insertion timing in step S9, the process returns to step S5 and digitization is performed as it is. Then, when it is necessary to change the process (step S6) while inserting the NC program into the digitizing data or afterwards, in the same way as described above, the file specified above is applicable. File to be created (eg "ARA.SUB" for rough machining)
If it is changed to (step S7), then the necessary NC program is selected according to the file and inserted into the digitized data. Then, such an operation is continued until all the digitizing data is created, and the necessary NC program is inserted for all the digitizing data and the operation is completed (step S8).

(Effect of the Invention) As described above, according to the NC program insertion method for digitizing data of the present invention, when the NC program is inserted in the digitizing data created by the copying apparatus, the NC apparatus that actually processes is Even if you want to change or change the processing conditions in the middle, such as multi-step copying, you can flexibly respond by simply specifying the relevant file name from the file group registered in advance, simply Not only can the burden on the operator be reduced, but the versatility can be expanded.
