A teaching system according to an embodiment includes an image generating unit, a start point specifying unit, a via point specifying unit, and a teaching data generating unit. The image generating unit generates a virtual image including a closed processing line set on a workpiece to be processed by a robot. The start point specifying unit specifies a start point at a position outside the processing line on the virtual image. The via point specifying unit specifies a via point on the processing line. The teaching data generating unit generates teaching data relative to the robot for a path that leaves the start point to follow the processing line by way of the via point and returns to the via point.

A method for operating a numerically controlled machine tool to design, create, modify and/or execute a sequence program for machining a workpiece, comprising the steps of: displaying, on a graphical user interface, a project library with a plurality of project templates. Each project template comprises a preconfigured sequence of operations for machining the workpiece according to the sequence program. selecting a project template by a user. displaying, on the user interface, a parameter display for setting a plurality of process parameters for the sequence program. setting the plurality of process parameters by the user and storing the process parameters. displaying, on the user interface, a schedule with a plurality of operations and an order of the plurality of operations. displaying, on the user interface, an operation library with a plurality of operation templates. selecting an operation template by the user and placing and/or relocating the operation template at a desired position of an operation in the schedule. repeating the selecting and placing and/or relocating of operation templates until the schedule is completed. generating a sequence program with corresponding machine and/or control functions according to the schedule and the process parameters and outputting the sequence program to a controller of the machine tool via a control interface.

A method for developing a numerical control manufacturing program for a common geometric feature of a first component includes obtaining manufacturing process data for the common geometric feature. The manufacturing process data is associated with one or more numerical control manufacturing processes for the common geometric feature of one or more second components. Each of the one or more second components includes the common geometric feature. The method further includes determining one or more manufacturing constraints for the numerical control manufacturing program for the common geometric feature of the first component, selecting a numerical control manufacturing process of the one or more numerical control manufacturing processes, obtaining manufacturing process parameters for the selected one or more numerical control manufacturing processes, and developing the numerical control manufacturing program for the common geometric feature of the first component. The developed numerical control manufacturing program includes the manufacturing process parameters.

A code generator circuit includes a control circuit and a code sequence processing circuit. The control circuit updates an accumulated value by accumulating an increment value per clock cycle, and refers to the accumulated value to generate a control output per clock cycle, wherein the increment value is set based on at least one of a Doppler shift, a block size, and a local replica output sampling rate. The code sequence processing circuit generates a code generator output according to the control output of the control circuit.
