  • Patent number: 7371989
    Abstract: A wire electric discharge machine capable of taper machining with an improved accuracy. A reference wire correction amount d set in advance is determined to be a proper value for a wire-diameter correction amount for a speed control plane, and adjustment amounts for adjusting the reference wire correction amount for the upper and lower surfaces of a workpiece are determined to be proportional to (1-Lu/Lm) and (1-Ll/Lm), respectively, where Lu, Lm and Ll are machining distances at the upper surface, speed control plane and lower surface, respectively. As a proportionality coefficient, a reference adjustment amount e is set in advance.

  • Publication number: 20080103625
    Abstract: A numerical controller with a machining resume function, in which time necessary to resume machining is reduced without increasing memory capacity. A program portion such as a subprogram to be skipped, which is not required to execute for restoring an internal status of the numerical controller at the time point of machining suspension is registered by number or the like. When the internal stare is restored, only if the read-out block is not the program portion to be skipped, execution is carried out without operating a machine, and the internal status including a coordinate position of the machine and the like is updated and stored. A pointer indicating a block position is also updated. If it is determined that the pointer becomes equal to a pointer value at the time point of machining suspension, and that the suspended block is reached, the internal status such as interpolation information which is stored at the machining suspension is restored, and the machining is resumed.

  • Publication number: 20070170157
    Abstract: A laser processing method for cutting, by laser beam, a cutting path (A0) of a workpiece having a corner (B) between a first cutting path (A1) and a second cutting path (A2) is provided. The workpiece is cut under the first cutting conditions (X) from the first cutting path to the corner, and under the second cutting conditions smaller in cutting ability than the first cutting conditions for a predetermined section (A21) on the second cutting path from the corner. The workpiece is cut under the first cutting conditions on the second cutting path after finished the predetermined section. The cutting conditions are continuously changed at the time of switching from the first cutting conditions to the second cutting conditions and/or from the second cutting conditions to the first cutting conditions. In this way, a processing defect is prevented while suppressing the delay of the cutting time at the time of cutting along the cutting path including the corner.

  • Patent number: 7211762
    Abstract: A wire electric discharge machine and a wire electric discharge machining method in which a workpiece set posture is compensated for an error. After a workpiece is set and fixed on a workpiece table, an upper guide measures three or more three-dimensional positions that are not situated on one straight line on an upper surface of the workpiece, utilizing detection of contact with the upper surface. A unit normal vector is obtained, and a shift amount for shift from an originally set vertical position to a corrected position is calculated. In machining, the shift amount is added to the position to compensate for an angle error of a machined surface, and a deviation of a machined point position caused by inclination of the workpiece is collaterally compensated for. Thus, the machined shape cannot be distorted, and the workpiece set posture error can be compensated for.

After a workpiece is set and fixed on a workpiece table, an upper guide measures three or more three-dimensional positions that are not situated on one straight line on an upper surface of the workpiece, utilizing detection of contact with the upper surface. A unit normal vector Nincl (Xn, Yn, Zn) is obtained, and a shift amount ?shif (?U, ?V) for shift from an originally set vertical position (U0, V0) to a corrected position (Uc, Vc) is calculated. In machining, the shift amount ?shif (?U, ?V) is added to the position (U0, V0) to compensate for an angle error of a machined surface, and a deviation of a machined point position caused by inclination of the workpiece is collaterally compensated for as required by correcting the upper and lower wire guides. Thus, the machined shape cannot be distorted, and the workpiece set posture error can be compensated for.
