Sheet cutting data generator in automatic programming system for sheet metal working

摘要

PURPOSE:To automatically set the arrangement position of a product to a proper position in consideration of the intention of an operator without placing any large burden on the operator. CONSTITUTION:This device is provided with a data input part 1 for inputting product data and machining data and a mode setting part 7 which sets one of a direct arrangement mode and a contiguous arrangement mode selectively according to the mode specification of a man-machine interface part 5, when the direct arrangement mode is specified, a direct arranging process part 9 fetches the product data and machining data inputted from the data input part 1 and generates blinking data for arranging a product at a position of a material specified by the man-machine interface part 5, and when the contiguous arrangement mode is specified, a contiguous arranging process part 9 fetches the product data and machining data inputted by the data input part 1 and blanking data for arranging the product in a corner area by retrieving the corner area on the raw material where the product can be arranged at the closest position to the specified position on the basis of the position on the raw material specified through the man-machine interface part 5.
