A method for capturing a tool path, applicable to a machine tool having a controller and furnished with a tooling, includes the steps of: obtaining a data update frequency of the controller; calculating a feed rate of the controller, determining whether or not the feed rate is obtained, going to next step if positive, and going to the previous step if negative; reading G-codes of the controller to confirm the feed rate; and, based on the confirmed feed rate, recording machine coordinates transmitted from the controller for synthesizing a tool path file. The tool path file is used for simulation and analysis of machining of the machine tool. In addition, a device for capturing the tool path is also provided.

Method for capturing tool path and device thereof

A system and a method for optimizing machining force of NC program is disclosed. The system includes a tool path acquisition unit and a NC program optimizing unit; the tool path acquisition unit is for acquiring a coordinate set of points composed by a coordinate information outputted by a controller, and modifying with respect to the coordinate set of points so as to form a tool path; the NC program optimizing unit is for analyzing machining force in accordance with the tool path, a tool information, a workpiece information and a machine tool characteristic information, and modifying with modified processing feed rates to generate an optimized NC program.
