Graphics and machining program processor for NL machine programming - has component size information used to generate list and diagrams for NL programming

摘要

The CAD/CAM system is used to generate data in a form that provides an NL program (21) for use by a machine tool has input entered by a mouse (2), keyboard (1) or touch panel (3). The input is received by a parameter diagram generator (5). The system has measurement list generator (6), an adjustment unit (7), editing unit (9), register unit (10), memory (11), editing input unit (12) and form display input (24). Output is provided to a projection generator (16) and a 30 drawing unit (17). The process uses data held in a data bank (14) relating to component shapes. USE/ADVANTAGE - Improved generation of NL programmes.
