A program includes a parameter numeric value and a parameter code and a parameter name that are associated with the parameter numeric value. A dialog box information creation processing unit recognizes the parameter code and the parameter name, which are included in the program, as a parameter item, and creates dialog box information from the recognized parameter code and parameter name and the associated parameter numeric value. The parameter numeric value within the created dialog box information is editable on a dialog box display screen. When the parameter numeric value is updated, a process of changing the corresponding parameter numeric value in the program to the updated parameter numeric value is executed.

Machine control program creating device

A plurality of production facilities and an analysis apparatus are connected through a fog network. The analysis apparatus performs a data analysis based on detection information of detectors acquired through the fog network and stores determination information relating to an abnormality of each of the plurality of production facilities or an abnormality of a production object as a result of the data analysis. Each of the plurality of production facilities determines an abnormality of the each of the plurality of production facilities or an abnormality of the production object based on the determination information stored in the analysis apparatus.

A spindle condition detection device for a machine tool includes: bearing load detecting means for detecting a load on a bearing that rotatably supports a spindle of a machine tool; and present usage ratio calculating means for calculating, based on the load detected by the bearing load detecting means, a present usage ratio that is a ratio of usage of the bearing with respect to a prescribed operating life of the bearing, which is achieved over a period until a present moment.

Spindle condition detection device for machine tool

A block execution sequence display system includes: a machine tool that has numerical control and sequence control; a programmable controller that executes a sequence program; a numerical control device that executes a NC program; block execution sequence array display means for displaying a block execution sequence array in which sequence functional blocks and a NC program execution block are arranged in an execution sequence; selecting means for selecting one of blocks in the array; and NC functional block execution sequence array display means for, when the NC program execution block is selected by the selecting means, displaying a NC functional block execution sequence array in which a plurality of NC functional blocks are arranged in an execution sequence.

Control board device with graphical user interface

In a flexible manufacturing system, a control apparatus for a transfer device stores in a memory section thereof correlation information for correlating workpieces (ante-machining workpieces) to be attached to pallets with blank materials contained in blank material baskets. When a selected one of the pallets is to be transferred to a pallet loading station, the control apparatus determines blank materials corresponding to the workpieces to be attached to the selected one of the pallets based on the correlation information and then, controls the transfer device to transfer a blank material basket containing the determined blank materials from a basket rack to a basket loading station located adjacent to the pallet loading station in connection with transferring the selected one of the pallets to the pallet loading station. Thus, when the selected one of the pallets is transferred to the pallet loading station, it becomes possible to reduce the time taken for the worker to search for the blank material basket.
