The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for cycle-based programming of a control program for a numerically controlled machine tool at a control apparatus of the machine tool. Geometrical features, which have been detected and/or identified within a data analysis processing performed on the basis of workpiece data including a 3D workpiece model, each detected and/or identified geometrical feature being associated with a respective predetermined machining operation, are associated with a respective machine control cycle which is associated with a respective predetermined machining operation with which the respective associated geometry feature is producible. Further, one or more user-selectable options for cycle-based programming of the control program for the machine tool are provided by a graphical user interface on a display of a control panel of a control apparatus of the machine tool, each user-selectable option enabling a user to select a respective one of the machine control cycles being respectively associated with a respective one of the detected and/or identified geometrical features.

Method and apparatus for cycle-based programming of a control program for a numerically controlled machine tool

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.

Method and system for simulating a work process on a machine tool

The invention relates to a device and a method for simulating a sequence for machining a workpiece on a machine tool. The invention is characterized by a holistic simulation approach. Particularly, a PLC control meansand a PLC sequence simulation meansassist in simulating the PLC movement sequences of the machine tool. This enables a realistic simulation of a machine tool in all its substantial aspects, resulting in considerable advantages especially in the field of training and during the determination of machine utilization times.

Device and method for simulating a sequence for machining a workpiece on a machine tool

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for generating control data for controlling a predetermined tool on a machine tool for machining a workpiece clamped in the machine tool from a blank to a finished part. Machining geometry model data of a machining geometry of the workpiece at a machining time are compared with finished part geometry model data in order to determine a difference geometry between the machining geometry and the finished part geometry. On the basis of the determined difference geometry, a machining path is determined for the predetermined tool for removing material from the workpiece, and path data is generated such that a maximally large part of the volume of the difference geometry is removed per time unit in dependence of a maximum machining volume of the predetermined tool.

Method and apparatus for generating control data for controlling a tool on a machine tool

The invention relates to a machine toolcomprising a plurality of operation functions and a selection device-for selecting one or more operation functions by a user. The machine toolreceives data from a mobile data carriervia a reception device, on the basis of which it may be determined which operation functions may be performed by the user. In this process, an access control devicegrants the user access to only those selected operation functions he or she is authorized to perform.

System for controlling user access to a machine tool

In a magnetic resonance tomography apparatus and a method for generating a magnetic resonance image of a subject, at least one first pulse sequence and a second pulse sequence are used for scanning k-space, with the first pulse sequence and the second pulse sequence being different from one another. A transition area, within which the first pulse sequence is converted step-by-step into the second pulse sequence, is defined between the first pulse sequence and the second pulse sequence. This prevents strip artifacts in the reconstructed image caused by phase jumps and amplitude jumps which would otherwise arise due to the transition between the different pulse sequences.
