Dialogue system and method for examining machining processes
First Claim
1. A dialogue system for the examination of a laser cutting operation which is carried out on a laser machine tool to establish a proposal for improving at least one quality feature of a subsequent laser cutting operation, the dialogue system comprising:
- input means through which an operator can identify the quality feature that is to be improved; and
a proposal module that is configured to access stored expert knowledge, and to provide at least one proposal for improving the quality feature, wherein, to provide the at least one proposal, the proposal module is further configured to read data provided from a sensor system of the laser machine tool and image data of at least one laser cut edge of a processed metal sheet together with associated metal sheet material and processing data.

Abstract
A dialog system for examining a processing operation carried out on a machine tool and establishing a proposal for improving at least one quality feature of a subsequent processing operation, the dialog system having input means to predetermine the quality feature to be improved and a proposal module which, by accessing stored expert knowledge, can establish at least one proposal for improving the quality feature. In some implementations, the proposal module is operable to read data established by one or more of a machine tool sensor system and image data of a processed workpiece together with associated material and processing data to provide the proposal.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program product that is executable on a data processing system and comprising encoding that is executable to form a dialogue system for examining a processing operation which is carried out on a laser machine tool to establish a proposal for improving at least one quality feature of a subsequent laser cutting operation, the dialogue system comprising:
-
input means through which an operator can identify the quality feature that is to be improved; and a proposal module that is configured to access stored expert knowledge, and to provide at least one proposal for improving the quality feature, wherein, to provide the at least one proposal, the proposal module is further configured to read data provided from a sensor system of the laser machine tool and image data of at least one laser cut edge of a processed metal sheet together with associated metal sheet material and processing data.

17. A laser machine tool implemented method for examination of a processing operation to establish a proposal for improving at least one quality feature of a subsequent laser cutting operation in which an operator predetermines a quality feature for a dialogue system, the method comprising:
-
establishing, by the dialogue system, at least one proposal for improving the quality feature using stored expert knowledge; and reading, by the dialogue system, data provided by a sensor system of the laser machine tool and image data of at least one laser cut edge of a processed metal sheet together with associated metal sheet material and processing data in order to establish the proposal. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
