Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the machining efficiency by instructing continuously both the fast and cutting feed modes and also connecting continuously the feeding speeds of both modes to each other with stopping both modes when they are set in the same direction. CONSTITUTION:A fast feed/cutting feed connection control part 6 checks the decoding result of an NC command program obtained by a program decoding part 1. Then the part 6 decides whether the continuous commands that do not care about the block order of the fast feed and cutting feed modes are set in the same direction or not. That is, the part 6 decides whether the stop processing is needed or not. If not, the part 6 performs no stop processing of the shift between the fast and cutting feed modes and continuously connects both feeding speeds to each other. Thus the part 6 controls motor 5 via an acceleration/ deceleration control part 2, an interpolation part 3, and a servo part 4. Thus, the speed can be smoothly changed and the waste time can be eliminated.

As described above, in the conventional numerically controlled machine tool, it is necessary to perform deceleration stop, stop confirmation and acceleration without fail when performing machining in which rapid feed and cutting feed are continuous.

For example, in a fixed cycle such as a deep hole machining cycle, rapid feed in the Z direction and cutting feed are frequently and alternately commanded, and rapid feed in the same direction and cutting feed are repeated many times, and the above-mentioned problem becomes prominent.
