  • Patent number: 9904272
    Abstract: A numerical controller obtains a maximum value of an impact produced in a machine during execution of a machining program, identifies an acceleration/deceleration time constant at a point where the maximum value of the impact is generated, based on command data, if the obtained value exceeds a threshold, changes the identified time constant, and recalculates a cycle time of the machining program based on the changed time constant. If the cycle time is within a preset tact time, the changed time constant is stored in advance in association with an identified command block so that it is referred to during the execution of the machining program.

  • Patent number: 9519280
    Abstract: A numerical control device for a machine tool includes: a timing calculation unit configured to calculate a start timing of a post-reverse movement command by which a position, where the sum of velocities generated in response to a pre-reverse movement command and the post-reverse movement command becomes zero, is equal to a position distanced by an in-position width from the end point of the pre-reverse movement command; and a movement command start unit configured to start the post-reverse movement command in accordance with the start timing calculated by the timing calculation unit.
