Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A numerical controller sets a parameter actually used for servo control on the basis of command data generated by analyzing a machining program. Based on the set parameter and a predefined allowable position deviation amount, a feed speed which is given by a position deviation not exceeding the predefined allowable position deviation amount is calculated. Then, when a feed speed commanded by the command data is larger than the calculated feed speed, the feed speed commanded by the command data is clamped at the calculated feed speed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A numerical controller which controls a machine on the basis of a machining program, the numerical controller comprising: a program analysis unit that analyzes the machining program to generate command data; a parameter setting unit that sets a parameter actually used for servo control on the basis of the command data; and a speed control unit that obtains a feed speed which is given by a position deviation not exceeding a predefined allowable position deviation amount, on the basis of the set parameter and a predefined allowable position deviation amount, and when a feed speed commanded by the command data is larger than the obtained feed speed, clamps the feed speed commanded by the command data at the obtained feed speed. 2 . The numerical controller according to claim 1 , wherein the parameter contains at least a position gain of a servo and a feedforward coefficient. 3 . The numerical controller according to claim 1 , wherein the speed control unit obtains the feed speed which is given by a position deviation not exceeding the predefined allowable position deviation amount, as a maximum speed which satisfies the expression: V≦ERR ×PG/(1−α) where V is the feed speed which is given by a position deviation not exceeding the predefined allowable position deviation amount, ERR is the allowable position deviation amount, PG is a position gain of a servo, and α is a feedforward coefficient.
