  • Patent number: 10814398
    Abstract: A controller controls a machine tool, which performs thread cutting for a workpiece, according to a machining program. The controller analyzes operating conditions of a cutting-up/cutting-in motion commanded in the machining program and inserts a cutting-up/cutting-in motion created based on the analyzed operating conditions into the thread cutting. In the insertion of the cutting-up/cutting-in motion into the thread cutting, a cycle including a cutting-in operation, a cutting-up operation for separating chips by raising the cutting tool for cutting in the radial direction of the workpiece, and an operation to cause the cutting tool to approach a start position of an immediately preceding cutting-up operation so as not to interfere with the workpiece is repeatedly performed.
