Numerical controller having taper angle compensating function of taper machining in skiving

摘要

A numerical controller stores tool data (including information on an inclination and length of a linear blade of a tool), reads an instruction block from a program, analyzes the instruction block, and generates instruction data indicating a movement amount of the tool on each axis instructed by the instruction block. Further, when performing taper machining, the numerical controller calculates a compensating amount for compensating an instructed path, based on the stored tool data, such that an actually-machined taper angle matches a taper angle instructed by the instruction block, compensates the generated instruction data based on the calculated compensating amount, and outputs the compensated instruction data.
