Methods, systems, and devices for designing and manufacturing flank millable components. In one embodiment, devices, systems, and methods for designing a flank millable component are provided, in which a user is notified when a component geometry option is selected that will result in the component not being flank millable. In another embodiment, the user is prevented from selecting a geometry option that would result in the component not being flank millable. In yet another embodiment, devices, systems, and methods are provided for manufacturing a component with a flank milling process, in which optimized machine instructions are determined that minimize milling machine motion.

A method for computer numerically controlled processing may include generating a user interface to enable the configuration of an edge treatment. The user interface may also be generated to enable the configuration of a design corresponding to a combination of the first object and the second object generated by applying one of a plurality of Boolean operation. A computer numerically controlled machine may be configured to deliver an electromagnetic energy in order to effect, in a material, one or more changes corresponding to the edge treatment and/or the design configured by the user. For example, the one or more changes corresponding to the edge treatment may include a variable depth engraving along at least a portion of a perimeter of a material.

A tool load displaying method for a machine tool includes inputting a machining program that specifies a plurality of tools used during machining work and that specifies machining processes which constitute the machining work and each of which is performed by using each of the plurality of tools. At least one piece of load information corresponding to each of the plurality of tools during each of the at least one machining process is calculated. Selected load information is selected from the at least one piece of load information. The plurality of tools are displayed.

A numerical controller includes a machining program creation unit for receiving an input of a machining program including a cycle command, a tool path creation unit for creating a plurality of tool paths based on the machining program, a display unit for displaying the machining program and the plurality of tool paths, and a correspondence relation management unit for recording a relation between an argument of the cycle command and the plurality of tool paths in an information table, wherein the correspondence relation management unit receives a selection of a selected tool path corresponding to one of the plurality of tool paths, and specifies an argument of the cycle command corresponding to the selected tool path with reference to the information table, and the display unit displays the specified argument in a different form from a form of another argument in the machining program.

An information generation device includes an image acquisition unit that acquires an image indicating the state of an industrial machine; a dictionary storage unit that stores a dictionary in which state information indicating the control state of a control device for controlling the industrial machine is associated with drawing information for visually rendering the control state; a display mode storage unit that stores, for each type of state information, the display mode of the drawing information associated with the state information; a state information acquisition unit that acquires state information; a generation unit that generates display information for displaying the drawing information associated with the state information, in the display mode associated with the type of the state information; an association unit that associates the display information with the image acquired by the image acquisition unit; and an output unit that outputs the associated display information and the image.
