Abstract

The numerical controlling unit includes an inputting part for inputting an inputting program. The inputting program includes a NC program defining a relative feed speed and a relative rotational number between a tool and a work, and also includes additional machining information. The inputting part is connected to an analyzing part, which is adapted to recognize the NC program and the additional machining information respectively from the inputting program inputted by the inputting part. The analyzing part is connected to a distributing part, which is adapted to make distributing information for the tool based on the NC program recognized by the analyzing part. The analyzing part and the distributing part are connected to a fusing part, which is adapted to fuse the distributing information and the additional machining information into controlling information for the tool. According to the numerical controlling unit, a more accurate numerical control can be achieved.

Claims

1. A numerical controlling unit constructed and arranged to use machining information comprising;

an inputting part for inputting an inputting program which includes a NC program and additional machining information, said NC program defining a relative feed speed and a relative rotational number between a tool and a workpiece,

an analyzing part for recognizing the NC program and the additional machining information respectively from the inputting program inputted by the inputting part,

a distributing part for making distributing information for the tool based on the NC program recognized by the analyzing part, and

a fusing part for fusing the distributing information for the tool made by the distributing part and the additional machining information recognized by the analyzing part into controlling information for the tool.

3. A numerical controlling unit according to the claim 1, wherein:

the additional machining information is information whether a desired machining is an up-cut way or a down-cut way.

4. A numerical controlling unit according to the claim 1, wherein:
