In a CAD data-based automatic operation device of a machining center equipped with a CNC device, the CNC device is provided in a storage unit with a learned model generated by learning beforehand machining conditions including a tool used and cutting conditions, a manufacturing process including a tool trajectory, and a machining program that caused the manufacturing process to be performed in correspondence with one another with respect to each feature subjected to various cutting operations. An automatic machining command generation unit provided in a control unit is provided with: a feature extraction function of extracting features from three-dimensional CAD design data of a machined product; an automatic manufacturing process setting function of automatically determining required machining conditions and automatically setting a manufacturing process including a tool trajectory, by applying each feature to the learned model; an all manufacturing process setting function of determining a procedure for manufacturing processes for all the features; and a machining command generation function of generating a machining command for causing a machine tool to perform all the manufacturing processes based on the learned model. The automatic manufacturing process setting function is further provided with a function of displaying a 3D model of the machined product generated based on the three-dimensional CAD design data in one or more possible different directions of mounting to a machining unit in a selectable and executable manner and the manufacturing processes are automatically set based on the determined mounting direction.

CAD data-based automatic operation device of machining center

An object is to provide a machine tool operation system that enables inputs to an NC device of a machine tool by use of a tablet terminal from any location and an operation method using the system. The machine tool operation system includes an NC device, a computer connected to the NC device, and a tablet terminal that is in wirelessly communication with the computer and enables inputs and outputs of signals for the NC device via the computer. The tablet terminal includes a display unit that make to display a menu screen on a display screen, an input unit that receives an input from a user, and an input processing unit that outputs an input signal transmitted to the computer based on the input. The computer includes a signal processing unit that outputs a command signal for a machine tool operation based on the input signal. A wireless communication unit to wirelessly send and receive signals between the tablet terminal and computer, and a transmission unit to transmit signals between the computer and NC device are provided.
