Abstract
A machining time prediction device for a machine tool that controls at least one axis to machine a workpiece on the basis of a machining program, the machining time prediction device comprising: an analysis unit that analyzes the machining program and generates operation instructions for the axis; an execution control unit that supervises the execution of operation instructions, instructs the operation of the axis on the basis of the result of analyzing the machining program and determines that the operation of the axis is complete; an axis control unit that generates control commands on the basis of the axis operation instructions; a machining time prediction unit that measures the time required to execute the machining program and predicts the machining time; and an axis operation simulation unit that simulates the operation of the axis on the basis of the control commands and outputs virtual responses.
