Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus for fully utilizing the functions of a machine tool by correctly converting CL data into an NC program. The information processing apparatus includes a CL data acquirer that can acquire CL data including standardization information based on a rule defined among a plurality of output devices, thereby acquiring CL data including the standardization information associated with at least one of unique control information of the numerical control apparatus, unique control information of the machine tool, and unique control information of a user of the machine tool, and an NC program generator that acquires an NC code corresponding to the standardization information included in the CL data, and generates an NC program including the NC code based on the NC code and the CL data.

Abstract: A machining system includes an information processing system, a first machine tool communicable with the information processing system, and a second machine tool communicable with the information processing system. The information processing system includes a reception unit that receives setting data set in the first machine tool, a storage device that stores the setting data received from the first machine tool, and a transmission unit that transmits the setting data of the first machine tool stored in the storage device to the second machine tool in response to a setting data acquisition request, when the setting data is inheritable to the second machine tool. The second machine tool includes a setting unit that allows the second machine tool to inherit the setting data received from the information processing system.

Abstract: A controller for a machine tool has a program storage section in which an NC program is stored, a program analyzing section analyzing the NC program block by block in sequence and extracts operation commands for a feed mechanism, an execution control section executing the extracted operation commands and thereby controlling the feed mechanism, e program editing section changing the NC program, and a change information storage section in which change information relating to the changed portion of the NC program is stored. The execution control section, when executing the operation commands, checks whether the block of each operation command is the block immediately preceding a block relating to the changed portion, and when judging that it is the immediately preceding block, temporarily stops the operation of the feed mechanism before or after the execution of the operation command.
