Abstract
A machine tool control process employs an N.C. and separate software e.g. operating either in a separate processor or within the N.C. Sub-programs generated by the software may be introduced into the N.C. during pauses in the N.C. e.g. for measurement type inspection or re-configuring the paths of cutting tools. The generation of the sub-programs may be carried out while the N.C. is operating.
