Abstract: A method for noise filtering and a noise filter are for the filtering of override signals in a numerical control system. If an input value change condition is present, an accumulator is reset and an input value is set as the new output value of noise filter. If a noise detection condition is present, the accumulator is reset while the output value is maintained.

Abstract: In a device and a method for generating and/or editing NC programs, where in a programming mode, input fields for machining data and selection lists belonging to the input fields and including permissible machining data are displayed on a display unit. In a configuration mode, the contents of a selection list for an input field is configured via an assigned configuration datum, the configuration datum including at least one executable selection instruction. In the programming mode, the selection instruction is executed such that the result is the selection list is filled with the selected data, and the configured selection list is displayed on the display unit, in that, via the selection instruction, a selective access is made to at least one database having available machining data.

Abstract: On the graphical user interface of a numerical control, NC blocks are displayed in an overall functional display. An NC block is composed of a plurality of syntax elements, of which merely a subset is displayed in the overall functional display. In this context, one is able to configure which of the syntax elements is displayed. Only after one of the NC blocks is selected are all syntax elements of the selected NC block shown in a detailed display.

Abstract: A control system of a numerically controlled machine tool with a software structure, the control system including a program code of a control program specific to a machine tool and a framework that is independent of an application, wherein the framework is implemented in the form of a class library that has a first set of classes that define a functional structure of the control system. A second set of classes derived from the first set of classes of the framework, wherein the second set of classes contain the program code that is specific to the machine tool and that implements application specific functions of at least one of several functional groups associated with a man-machine interface, geometry processing, an interpolator, movement processing and a programmable logic controller.

Abstract: A method for the synchronized start-up of an application of a numerical control of a mechanized element that includes sequentially performing several initialization steps for several objects of an application, wherein several first objects are hierarchically subordinated to the application, and at least one second object is hierarchically subordinated to each of the several first objects, initializing the several first objects and the at least one second object, initializing the several first objects via the application and initializing the at least one second object via the first object. Transmitting a first execution report to one of the several first objects and transmitting a second execution report to the application via the first objects.

Abstract: A device and a method are provided for controlling a machine tool, at least one arbitrarily organized database having supplementary data being used for workpiece machining. During the execution of a machining program using a processing unit, the database commands are processed by an interpreter unit in the processing unit such that the required data are retrieved from the database and are further processed in the machining program.

During the execution of a machining program using a processing unit, the database commands are processed by an interpreter unit in the processing unit such that the required data are retrieved from the database and are further processed in the machining program (FIG. 1).

Abstract: An apparatus for the control of a machine tool includes, for the processing of a workpiece, several separate processing units that can execute definite tasks simultaneously and independently of one another. Furthermore, a display unit, as well as at least one assigned input unit, is provided. On the display unit side at least one display window, which can be activated selectively and in which corresponding information can be presented visually, is assigned to each processing unit. The display window active at the moment is thus shown uncovered and/or marked for emphasis.

Abstract: Long NC programs are made more manageable by assigning descriptive NC sentences to groups of program code lines of the NC program. The groups can be combined into groups of higher hierarchial order and assigned a descriptive NC sentence. The NC sentences are displayed in their respective hierarchial order and allow an operator to quickly locate a portion of NC program by selecting the appropriate NC sentence.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for simulating the processing of a workpiece by boring or milling by an internal computer model in which the workpiece is described by its corner points and surfaces and a bore or a milling process is described by its enveloping contour. The apparatus includes data memories in which information data about the corner points, the surfaces and the enveloping contour are stored. A control mechanism is connected to the data memories for allocating the information to geometric elements that are deposited in work memories and between which a computing mechanism determines intersection points and stores them in an intersection point memory. The control mechanism links the information data about the previous state of the model, the enveloping contour of the milling operation and the intersection points into a description of the workpiece after processing in the internal computer model and brings it into representation on a display unit.
