The present invention relates to a control system for controlling operation of a numerically controlled machine tool (), the system comprising a back-end control device () and a front-end control device () communicably connected to the back-end control device (). The back-end control device () comprises a numerical controller (), a programmable logic controller (), a first communication interface () being communicably connected to the numerical controller () and the programmable logic controller (), and an interface server module () of a second communication interface () being communicably connected to the first communication interface (). The front-end control device () comprises an interface client module () of the second communication interface () being adapted to communicably connect to the interface server module (), second processing means () for executing a second operating system (), a basic module application (), and a plurality of control applications (-), the basic module application () being for accessing data in the numerical controller () and the programmable logic controller () via the one or more interface client modules (), the interface server module () and the first communication interface (), a display unit () for displaying one or more control screens to a user, an input unit () for receiving control input operations from the user, and a first human-machine interface () being communicably connected to the display unit () and the input unit (), and including a first graphical user interface () for controlling the one or more control screens displayed on the display unit () and for processing control input operations of the user.

Control system for controlling operation of a numerically controlled machine tool, and back-end and front-end control devices for use in such system

Apparatus for monitoring and providing visual representations of the operating conditions of machine tool parameters, in particular for program-controlled turning, milling, and drilling machines, which have a machining unit displaceable in a plurality of coordinate axes, in which a work spindle for exchangeable receiving a machining tool and an electric motor for driving the work spindle are mounted. The machine tool includes a control unit and means for monitoring the operating state of the machine tool. The monitoring apparatus has at least one sensor for detecting at least one operating parameter of the machine tool. An evaluating unit is connected to both the sensor and the control unit and processes the measurement values detected by the sensor. An optical display is provided in the direct viewing range of the operator, which viewing range includes the machine operating spindle, tool holder, tool, and workplace. The optical display can display a normal, a critical, and a dangerous operating state of the machine tool in accordance with the data from the evaluating unit.

Apparatus for monitoring and providing visual representations of the operating conditions of machine tool parameters

A method and system simulates a work process on a machine tool using a virtual machine. The virtual machine is set up to simulate the work process on the machine tool using machine data, workpiece data, and tool data as a function of numerical control (NC) control data and programmable logic control (PLC) control data. The work process is simulated on a platform that comprises a plurality of processor cores, wherein the work process is simulated in partial simulations that run in parallel on different processor cores.
