To obtain an automatic programming apparatus, capable of generating a tool path for the chamfering process with a simple operation and capable of shortening the operation period and improving machining efficiency, the automatic programming apparatus includes a chamfering tool path generating unit and machining condition data. The chamfering tool path generating unit includes: a chamfered plane defining unit that generates shape data defining a chamfered plane obtained after the chamfering process is performed with respect to a shape of the chamfering target part; a reference point sequence generating unit that generates a reference point sequence used as a reference for generating the tool path data used for performing the chamfering process; and a tool reference position generating unit that, generates a reference position of a machining tool used when the machining tool passes while performing the chamfering process.

Automatic programming apparatus and automatic programming method

An automatic programming device includes: a machining-area-shape generation unit that generates machining-area shape data that is a machining area shape machined on the basis of machining-area data; and a chamfering tool-path generation unit that, when the machining area shape is a chamfering target part, generates chamfering tool-path data for chamfering according to chamfering data including the machining-area shape data, data on tool-to-be-used, and data on machining condition. When performing chamfering on a boundary of the shaped raw material and the machining area shape defined on a curved surface that is a shaped raw material, the chamfering tool-path generation unit generates a machining path, as the chamfering tool-path data, for realizing chamfering by using 2-axis machining of a rotating axis parallel to a central axis of the shaped raw material and with a linear axis parallel to a bottom surface of the machining area shape.

Automatic programming device and method

Automatic programming apparatus includes: a material shape data input unit that receives input of data of material shape; a processing program storage unit that stores therein data of material shape and processed unit data; a processed unit data input part that receives an input of other-processed-unit-reference-type processed unit data referencing processed region shape data contained in the processed unit data; a processed region shape generating unit that generates processed region shape data in the processed unit data for partial processing, based on data of material shape and processed region shape data referenced by other-processed-unit-reference-type processed unit data; and a control command generating unit that generates control command data, based on processed unit data for partial processing containing processed region shape data.

An information processor that calculates information concerning a three-dimensional shape comprises: a three-dimensional-shape input unit that inputs drawing data of a three-dimensional shape used for displaying a three-dimensional shape; a display unit that displays a three-dimensional shape of drawing data input to the three-dimensional-shape input unit; and a shape-value-information calculating unit that sets a shape element of a three-dimensional shape displayed on the display unit to data used for calculating a three-dimensional shape, based on an instruction input from outside, calculates a value of a shape concerning the three-dimensional shape not clearly shown within the drawing data as shape value information by using the set shape element, and displays a calculation result on the display unit.

Information processor and information processing method

A programming device programs a machining control program to be used on a numerical control device for machining an object. A setting unit sets an axial direction of the tool with respect to the data on the machining-target area and sets a deepest position of a tip of the tool with respect to the data on the machining-target area. An extracting unit extracts a surface-machining-target area of the object from the data on the machining-target area based on the set axial direction of the tool, the set deepest position of the tip, and the data on the machining-target area.
