20110077769 | NUMERICAL CONTROL PROGRAMMING METHOD AND ITS DEVICE - A machining shape is created from a product shape and a material shape so that an appropriate tool direction can be automatically set, with which a finished area is the largest and an uncut amount of a recessed edge is the minimum even if a plurality of machinable tool directions are available. All tool directions capable of face machining from a plane-machined shape extracted from the machining shape are acquired to evaluate an area which can be machined in each tool direction. In addition, a length of the recessed edge which cannot be machined in each tool direction is evaluated. A machining program for machining is created from the tool direction where the machinable area is the maximum and the length of the recessed edge which cannot be machined is the minimum. | 03-31-2011 |
20110257778 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SIMULATING NC WORKING MACHINE - Even in an uncuttable state in which an actual rotational direction of a main spindle is not matched with an actually cuttable main spindle rotational direction of a tool, an interference check between a workpiece and the tool is performed. Accordingly, the cuttable main spindle rotational direction of the selected tool or the uncuttable main spindle rotational direction is compared with each main spindle rotational direction of a working machine during execution of a simulation, and it is determined whether an interference check between the tool blade edge and the workpiece is necessary on the basis of the comparison result. When it is determined that the interference check is not necessary in the step above, the interference check between the tool blade edge and the workpiece is not performed. When it is determined that the interference check is necessary, the interference check between the tool blade edge and the workpiece is performed. When the interference therebetween is present, abnormality is detected. | 10-20-2011 |
20120016507 | PROCESSING SIMULATION METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND PROGRAM MAKING COMPUTER EXECUTE THE METHOD - A processing simulation method and apparatus is provided, which can appropriately detect interference between a tool processing area and a shape model of a material without being affected by the accuracy of expression of a tool movement path and the shape model. A tool shape model for processing a material, that includes a strict tool shape, and a tool shape model for checking interference, that is included in the strict tool shape, are generated by tool model setting unit according to an error range set in consideration of the tool movement path and the expression accuracy of the shape model, and the processed material shape model is generated by generating a tool processing area shape model from the tool movement path during processing feed and the tool shape model for processing the material and removing the tool processing area shape model from the material shape model. The tool processing area shape model is generated from a tool movement path during fast feed and the tool shape model for detecting the interference, and the interference between the tool processing area shape model and the material shape model is detected. | 01-19-2012 |

20130030781 | PROCESSING STIMULATION METHOD, DEVICE FOR THE SAME, AND PROGRAM FOR CAUSING A COMPUTER TO EXECUTE THE METHOD - When a material shape model is separated in shear through processing, a shape model of a material in a state of being suspended remains in mid-air, and thus, interference is detected excessively. In order to prevent the excessive detection of interference, in a processing simulation method for generating a shape model of a processed material from a shape model of a material and a shape model of a tool processing area which is defined from a shape model of the tool and a movement path of the tool, the shape model of the material being separated into a plurality of shapes by processing is detected; a material shape to be cut-off is extracted from the separated material shapes; and the extracted material shape to be cut-off is excluded from subject of simulation. | 01-31-2013 |
