  • Patent number: 10274932
    Abstract: A machining-information management device that manages machining information for a machine tool that machines a workpiece by moving said workpiece relative to a tool and/or moving said tool relative to the workpiece on the basis of a machining program. Said machining-information management device has the following: an extraction unit that extracts a tool swap command and a coordinate-system selection command from a machining program that machines a predetermined workpiece; an acquisition unit that acquires tool information associated with a tool specified in the aforementioned tool swap command and coordinate information associated with a coordinate system specified in the aforementioned coordinate-system selection command; and a generation unit that generates combined machining information that contains the abovementioned machining program, the aforementioned tool information, and the aforementioned coordinate information.

  • Patent number: 10152044
    Abstract: This control device for a machine tool has a display unit that displays an input screen via which machining information regarding machining to be performed on a workpiece is inputted and an input unit via which letters and/or numbers are inputted into machining-information fields on the input screen. When a machining-information field on the input screen is selected, the display unit displays a first input-assistance screen corresponding to said field. Input-support buttons are laid out on said first input-assistance screen. When an input-support button is pressed, a second input-assistance screen is displayed, and via an operation performed in accordance with said second input-assistance screen, the aforementioned field is filled in.
