  • Determining a cut pattern of a lathe method, control device, and lathe
    Patent number: 11630438
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for determining a cut pattern of a lathe. The lathe is numerically controlled by a control device and includes a tool with a cutter acting on a workpiece. The workpiece has a start contour and a target contour to be achieved by cutting the workpiece according to the cut pattern. The method includes determining a path of a n-th layer of the cut pattern, wherein the n-th layer includes: for n?2: an infeed path linear and/or parallel to the target contour; a circular infeed path starting tangent to the target contour; an intermediate path linear and/or parallel to the target contour; a circular outfeed path ending tangent to the target contour; and for n?2: a smoothing path linear and/or parallel to the target contour.
    Type: Grant

  • System and method for automatic local return for lathe NC-machining cycle interruption
    Patent number: 8573097
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program for monitoring a machine cycle. A method includes the steps of tracking an elapsed cumulative measure; comparing the elapsed cumulative measure with a cycle interrupt interval; interrupting a machining cycle at the cycle interrupt interval; and performing a local return to a defined position.
