Abstract

An object is to more appropriately perform settings in the setting of the control of a machine tool. A setting device includes: a first reception unit which receives the specification of a first setting value for at least one or more parameters on the control of a machine tool; a second reception unit which receives the specification of a second setting value for the parameter after the reception of the first setting value; a third reception unit which receives the specification of a selection condition for determining which one of the first setting value and the second setting value is selected; and a selection unit which selects, based on the selection condition whose specification is received by the third reception unit, any one of the first setting value and the second setting value as a setting value that is applied to the parameter.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A setting device comprising: a memory configured to store a program; and
a processor configured to execute the program and control the setting device to:
receive a specification of a first setting value for at least one or more parameters on control of a machine tool;
receive a specification of a second setting value for the parameter after the reception of the first setting value;
receive a specification of a selection condition for determining which one of the first setting value and the second setting value is selected; and
select, based on the selection condition whose specification is received, any one of the first setting value and the second setting value as a setting value that is applied to the parameter;
wherein the selection condition is provided for each purpose of machining performed by the machine tool and is a condition in which selection criteria for the first setting value and the second setting value individually differ according to the purpose of the machining; and
wherein the processor is further configured to execute the program and control the setting device to apply any one of the first setting value and the second setting value selected to the parameter so as to control the machine tool based on the applied setting value.

2. The setting device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the selection condition is provided for each purpose of machining performed by the machine tool, and
the first setting value is previously specified according to the purpose of the machining corresponding to the selection condition.

3. The setting device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor is further configured to execute the program and control the setting device to present at least any one of the first setting value, the second setting value and information indicating which one of the first setting value and the second setting value is selected by the selection unit,
wherein the processor is further configured to execute the program and control the setting device to select again, based on a specification from a presentation destination in the presentation, any one of the first setting value and the second setting value as the setting value that is applied to the parameter.

4. The setting device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the selection condition includes at least any one of a condition on accuracy of machining and a condition on a time of the machining in the machining of the machine tool.

5. The setting device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first setting value includes at least any one of an average value, a maximum value and a minimum value of the setting value applied to the parameter.

6. The setting device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the parameter includes at least any one of a setting related to a position, a setting related to a speed, a setting related to acceleration, a setting related to jerk, a setting related to torque and a setting related to servo motor control in the control of the machine tool.

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a setting program, that causes a processor of a setting device to execute:
receiving a specification of a first setting value for at least one or more parameters on control of a machine tool;
receiving a specification of a second setting value, for the parameter after the reception of the first setting value;
receiving a specification of a selection condition for determining which one of the first setting value and the second setting value is selected; and
selecting, based on the selection condition whose specification is received, any one of the first setting value and the second setting value as a setting value that is applied to the parameter;
wherein the selection condition is provided for each purpose of machining performed by the machine tool, and is a condition in which selection criteria for the first setting value and the second setting value individually differ according to the purpose of the machining; and
wherein the processor is further configured to execute the setting program and control the setting device to apply any one of the first setting value and the second setting value selected to the parameter so as to control the machine tool based on the applied setting value.
