Abstract: To provide a numerical controller that is capable of analyzing a machining program so as to determine whether machining is machining placing emphasis on accuracy and machining placing emphasis on speed and vary an allowable speed difference. The numerical controller includes a determination unit and a corner deceleration control unit. The determination unit analyzes a machining program so as to determine which machining is to be performed between machining placing emphasis on accuracy and machining placing emphasis on speed. The corner deceleration control unit executes corner deceleration control based on a speed difference between cutting feed speeds on blocks leading and following a corner and an allowable speed difference which is predetermined. At this time, the corner deceleration control unit varies the allowable speed difference in accordance with a determination result of the determination unit.

Further, in the case of a state in which a press operation in punch press machining is started from a different position from a position of a preset rising edge, an overlap time is calculated based on a position of a punch head when the press operation is started, and an output timing of interpolation data related to an axis controlling the press operation is controlled based on the calculated overlap time. In this way, even when there is a change in press stroke, a dead time may be prevented from being generated.

Abstract: A controller performs gap control such that a Z-axis position of a tip of a cutting head of the machine is not below a preset lower limit position while keeping the distance between the tip of the cutting head and a workpiece constant. The numerical controller calculates a substantial lower limit position based on a detected state of the workpiece and the preset lower limit position. If the Z-axis position of the tip of the cutting head is below the calculated substantial lower limit position, it is compensated so as not to be below the substantial lower limit position.
