Abstract: A cycle time estimator is a device configured to calculate for each block the time required for movement along a tool path specified by a NC command. The cycle time estimator divides the NC command into blocks, divides the tool path into segments, calculates segment travel times individually for the segments, and holds the correspondence between the blocks and the segments. The cycle time estimator further calculates block travel times by integrating the segments individually for the blocks and displays the blocks and the block travel times in association with one another in an editing screen for the NC command.

Abstract: A server is connected to machines that perform cutting machining via a network. A common database shared by the machines is stored in the server, the database includes machining result information used in steps included in a cutting machining process performed by the machine and information on a use frequency of the machining result information. A machining result information presentation request to present machining result information that satisfies cutting conditions input by an operator of the machine is received from the machine. When the machining result information presentation request is received, the machining result information that satisfies the cutting conditions is extracted from the database and is presented to the machine based on the use frequency of the machining result information. A machining program is created based on machining result information selected by the operator among pieces of machining result information from the machine and is presented to the machine.

Abstract: An arithmetic processing unit divides a modified NC program into a plurality of segments and determines a machining time estimation target segment among the plurality of divided segments. When estimating the machining time required for the machining of a machine tool controlled based on the modified NC program, the arithmetic processing unit shortens the time required for the machining time estimation process by reutilizing an estimated machining time for an NC program before modification with respect to segments other than the machining time estimation target segment.

Abstract: A computer-readable recording medium storing a program for effectively restoring a previous status of a storage device which stores information of basic software, application software and setting data therefor in a computerized numerical controller when replacing the storage device. The recording medium stores a software recovery program for requiring an operator to select one of the functions of: installing a set of software with default setting; retreating all information stored in the storage device to an external storing device; restoring the all information retreated in the external storing device to the storage device, and performing one of the functions selected by the operator.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided to enter operational information to an objective device based on a motion of an operator's hand. In the apparatus, an imaging device acquires image data of the operator's hand and an extracting unit extracts characteristic points of the motion of the hand in a spatial coordinate system of the image data by applying processing to the image data. A detecting unit detects, as extreme-value information, extreme-value points appearing in spatial coordinates of the characteristic points and detection time instants at which the extreme-value points appear. A memory device is used to memorize the extreme-value information. An orbit determining unit determines whether or not four or more consecutive pieces of the extreme-value information corresponding to desired operational information comply with a predetermined circular-orbit condition and an outputting unit outputs the desired operational information to the device depending on a result determined by the orbit determining unit.

Abstract: An NC data creation method by which the sequence of machining definition data can be changed to the sequence required by a user. A desired output sequence of machining command data is previously created as pattern definition data by a user executing a predetermined operation. Then, machining command data is input through an input screen as an interactive type input screen. A system processing unit reads the thus input machining command data and the pattern definition data, changes the sequence of the machining command data in accordance with the pattern definition data and outputs machining definition data. Therefore, NC data having the machining definition data provided with the output sequence desired by the user can be directly created. As a result, the sequence of the machining definition data need not be changed again and the NC data can be rapidly created.

Abstract: A rotary head type magnetic recording and playback apparatus for performing an after recording only to a desired signal area by using a head (1,3) 2,4) having a core width broader than the track width (Tp) of a recorded tape (7), wherein recording heads (1,3) and playback heads (2,4) are provided at every channel (A,B), respectively, the respective heads are arranged at angular intervals of 90 degrees so that the playback heads precede the recording heads in the rotational direction (FC) of a rotary drum (8,9) in a plane of rotation thereof, and the respective heads are offset in the axial direction of the rotational axis of the rotary drum so that the lower edge (R) of each recording head traces the boundary portion between the tracks and the centers of the playback heads trace the central portion of the tracks.

Abstract: A digital signal recording and playback apparatus having a rotary heads mounted on a rotary drum capable of recording/reproducing a digital signal onto/from a magnetic tape at a tape speed which is N times as much as the standard speed while conforming to the standard track angle and length. The number of the rotary heads are increased from the standard two heads whereas the drum speed is made one half of N times standard speed and the drum diameter is made slightly larger from the standard so that the relative speed between the running tape and the rotating heads becomes equal to the standard in the double tape speed mode, and becomes twice that in the quadruple tape speed mode.

Abstract: A magnetic recording and playback apparatus comprises a rotary drum (5) having a center of rotation inclined to the running direction of a magnetic recording tape (7), a group of first and second channel recording heads (1,3) and a group of first and second channel playback heads (2,4) mounted on an outer periphery of the rotary drum (5) at an angular interval of substantially 90 degrees, the positions of the recording and playback heads alternating along the outer periphery. The axial distance between the recording head group and the playback head group is set to a value of approximately 7/4 times the track pitch Tp of consequently formed tracks. The first and second channel recording heads alternately form first and second tracks in sequence on the magnetic recording tape, and after the second track is formed by the second recording head, a recorded signal on the first track is outputted by being traced with the first channel playback head.
