Abstract

Provided are a display device, a computer program, and a storage medium that make it possible to increase visibility of a tool path. This display device comprises: an oscillation condition setting unit that sets oscillation conditions for oscillation cutting in which a workpiece and a tool are oscillated relative to each other; a tool path information generation unit that generates tool path information related to a tool path on the basis of the oscillation conditions; a determination unit that determines an actual cut portion and an air cut portion on the tool path on the basis of the tool path information; and a display control unit that controls a display unit to display thereon the tool path in which the actual cut portion and the air cut portion on the tool path are displayed in different manners.

First claim

1 . A display device comprising:
a oscillation condition setting unit that sets a oscillation condition for performing oscillation cutting which relatively vibrates a workpiece and a tool; a tool path information generation unit that generates tool path information on a tool path based on the oscillation condition; a determination unit that determines an actual cut portion and an air cut portion in the tool path based on the tool path information; and a display control unit that controls a display unit to display the tool path in which display modes of the actual cut portion and the air cut portion in the tool path are changed.

2 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display control unit changes a display mode of an area surrounded by the actual cut portion and an intersection of the actual cut portion in the tool path, thereby displaying a schematic shape of a chip of the workpiece generated by a oscillation cutting process.

3 . The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the display control unit changes colors of the plurality of tool paths to colors with which the tool paths and the schematic shapes of chips generated by the tool paths are associated with each other.

4 . (canceled)

5 . A storage medium that stores a computer program for causing a computer to execute:
a step of setting a oscillation condition for performing a oscillation cutting process which relatively vibrates a workpiece and a tool; a step of generating tool path information on a tool path based on the oscillation condition; a step of determining an actual cut portion and an air cut portion in the tool path based on the tool path information; and a step of controlling a display unit to display the tool path in which display modes of the actual cut portion and the air cut portion in the tool path are changed.
