Abstract

To provide a numerical-control machining-program creation device that creates a numerical-control machining program including turning machining based on shape data of a workpiece. The numerical-control machining-program creation device generates a turning-machining removal shape indicating a shape to be removed by turning machining based on a turning sectional shape, extracts a turning groove shape from the turning-machining removal shape, and creates the numerical-control machining program for turning machining based on a shape obtained by separating the turning groove shape from the turning-machining removal shape.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A numerical-control machining-program creation device that creates a numerical-control machining program including turning machining based on shape data of a workpiece, comprising:
a turning sectional-shape generation unit that generates a three-dimensional turning shape designating a turning shaft as a rotation central axis from shape data of a workpiece, and generates a two-dimensional turning sectional shape based on the generated turning shape;
a turning-machining removal-shape generation unit that generates a first turning-machining removal shape indicating a shape to be removed by turning machining based on the two-dimensional turning sectional shape;
a turning-groove-shape extraction unit that extracts a convex shape, having a groove width equal to or less than a set groove width and a groove depth equal to or less than a set groove depth, as a turning groove shape from the first turning-machining removal shape; and
a numerical-control machining-program creation unit that creates the numerical-control machining program for turning machining based on a second turning-machining removal shape obtained by separating the turning groove shape from the first turning-machining removal shape.

2. The numerical-control machining-program creation device according to claim 1 , further comprising a cutting-remainder-shape extraction unit that extracts a cutting remainder shape due to a turning tool, wherein
the numerical-control machining-program creation unit creates a numerical-control machining program for turning machining based on a third turning-machining removal shape obtained by separating the turning groove shape and the cutting remainder shape from the first turning-machining removal shape.

3. The numerical-control machining-program creation device according to claim 2 , wherein the cutting-remainder-shape extraction unit extracts a convex shape from a turning-machining removal shape, to obtain an auxiliary cutting edge angle of a turning tool to be used based on set turning machining data, and extracts a cutting remainder shape from the extracted convex shape based on the auxiliary cutting edge angle.

4. The numerical-control machining-program creation device according to claim 1 , wherein the turning-groove-shape extraction unit obtains a tangent vector of an edge for each apex of the two-dimensional turning sectional shape, the apex being a connection point between edges, and extracts a convex shape based on the tangent vector.

5. The numerical-control machining-program creation device according to claim 1 , further comprising a machining-time calculation unit that calculates a turning machining time by cutting feed based on the second turning-machining removal shape, a turning tool to be used, and turning machining data including a cutting condition, and displays the turning machining time.

6. The numerical-control machining-program creation device according to claim 2 , further comprising a machining-time calculation unit that calculates a turning machining time by cutting feed based on the third turning-machining removal shape, a turning tool to be used, and turning machining data including a cutting condition, and displays the turning machining time.

7. The numerical-control machining-program creation device according to claim 3 , wherein the cutting-remainder-shape extraction unit obtains a tangent vector of an edge for each apex of the two-dimensional turning sectional shape, the apex being a connection point between edges, and extracts a convex shape based on the tangent vector.
