Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A numerical controller controls a five-axis machine which machines a workpiece mounted on a table by means of at least three linear axes and two rotation axes. The numerical controller calculates a tool direction relative to the workpiece as a tool direction vector, roll-pitch-yaw angles, or Euler angles, based on respective positions of the two rotation axes, and displays the tool direction relative to the workpiece on a display, based on the result of the calculation.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A numerical controller for controlling a five-axis machine configured to machine a workpiece mounted on a table by means of at least three linear axes and two rotation axes, the numerical controller comprising: a tool direction computation unit configured to calculate a tool direction relative to the workpiece as a tool direction vector representation, a roll-pitch-yaw angle representation, or an Euler angle representation, based on respective position…
