  • Patent number: 9964940
    Abstract: A numerical controller performs cross-rail axis control that distributes moving amount to a first and second axes based on a command to a virtual axis. If a block of a program that is read out contains a fast feed command to the virtual axis for moving a tool to a cutting feed start point, the numerical controller distributes a moving amount commanded by the fast feed command to the first axis and the second axis. Further, the moving amount commanded by the fast feed command is distributed to the first axis and the second axis so that movement of the virtual axis commanded by a cutting feed command that follows the fast feed command in the program can be achieved by movement of only the first axis.

  • Publication number: 20180088554
    Abstract: A numerical controller corrects a tool compensation value for a machine tool provided with a tool for machining a workpiece based on an NC machining program. The numerical controller makes it unnecessary for a person in charge of input to be conscious of the sign of the tool compensation value and prevents a tool compensation value input error by providing an input button for bringing a workpiece and a tool cutting edge close to each other by a specified amount (+input advance) and an input button for causing the workpiece and the tool cutting edge to be away from each other by a specified amount (+input retreat) at the time of inputting the tool compensation value.

  • Patent number: 9831062
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method for pattern measurement and a charged particle radiation device in which a pattern formed by using a DSA technique can be very precisely measured and inspected. According to an aspect for achieving the object, a method for pattern measurement or a charged particle radiation device for realizing the measurement is proposed as follows. A charged particle is radiated to a polymer compound used for a self-organization lithography technique, and a specific polymer is considerably contracted as compared to the other polymer among multiple polymers forming the polymer compound. Thereafter, dimensions between multiple edges of the other polymer are measured, based on a signal obtained by scanning a region including the other polymer with the charged particle beam.
