Abstract

A machining program editing apparatus that enables a machining program to be edited accurately in a short time, and a machine tool having the same, are provided. A machining program editing apparatus 1 for editing a machining program of a machine tool 10 includes a control means 5 for controlling the display content of a display means 3 for displaying the machining program. When a preset NC code, among the NC codes included in the machining program, is selected on the display means 3, the control means 5 allows an edit window 7 for inputting an editing content, according to the type of the NC code, to be displayed near the display position of the NC code.

Claims

1. A machining program editing apparatus for editing a machining program of a machine tool, comprising

control means for controlling a display content of display means for displaying the machining program, wherein

when a preset NC code, among NC codes included in the machining program, is selected on the display means, the control means allows an edit window for inputting an editing content, according to a type of the NC code, to be displayed near a display position of the NC code.

2. The machining program editing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

when the selected NC code is an NC code having selectable correction candidate data, the control means allows a list of the correction candidate data to be displayed on the edit window.

3. The machining program editing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

when the selected NC code is an NC code designating a spindle speed of the machine tool or a feed rate of a cutting tool, the control means allows a numerical value input pad tab, having numerical value buttons, and a machining condition calculation tab, having an input area of a parameter required for calculating the spindle speed or the feed rate of the cutting tool, to be displayed on the edit window.

4. The machining program editing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

when the selected NC code is an NC code designating a coordinate value, the control means allows a numerical value input pad having numerical value buttons to be displayed on the edit window.

5. A machine tool provided with the machining program editing apparatus according to claim 1.
