  • Patent number: 10579043
    Abstract: To highly accurately predict remaining machining time required for cutting, a controller of a machining time prediction device includes a storage in which a machining program is stored, a simulator that performs a simulation in which a cutting machine cuts a workpiece in accordance with the machining program to generate a control pattern in which control information of a spindle and a holder is recorded, a machining time calculator that generates, based on the control pattern, a machining time table in which remaining machining time for each step of the machining program, a machining time acquirer that acquires a step of the machining program cutting of which is performed by the cutting machine at a current time point and acquires the remaining machining time for the step of the machining program, which has been acquired, from the machining time table, and a display controller that displays the remaining machining time that has been acquired by the machining time acquirer on a display screen.

  • Publication number: 20190041826
    Abstract: A tool management system configured to managing a life of a tool in a processing device includes an acquisition unit configured to, when it is detected that a target tools is in use, acquire a stocker number of a position at which the target tool in use is accommodated from a processing program, a determination unit configured to acquire a time for replacement of the target tool corresponding to the stocker number and determine whether or not the total use time of the target tool has reached the time for replacement; and an output unit configured to, when the determination unit determines that the total use time has reached the time for replacement, output an instruction to provide a display urging replacement of the target tool.

  • Patent number: 10184774
    Abstract: A correcting apparatus includes: a detecting pin; a microcomputer configured or programmed to acquire a first coordinate value indicative of a first coordinate of a detection point, and a first height, and to acquire a second coordinate value indicative of a second coordinate of the detection point, and a second height; to rotate the detecting pin by 180 degrees, and to acquire, with the detecting pin rotated by 180 degrees, a third coordinate value indicative of a third coordinate of the detection point, and a fourth coordinate value indicative of a fourth coordinate of the detection point; to generate, in accordance with the values acquired, a first linear equation including a third height as a variable; and to correct a fifth coordinate value indicative of a coordinate of a measurement point using the first linear equation.
