A machining system includes a cover body having an opening and defining a machining area of a workpiece, a door portion provided in the opening, an actuator that operates the door portion between a first position at which the opening is closed and a second position at which the opening is opened, a controller that controls the actuator, and a robot arm that operates through the opening to convey a workpiece between the machining area and an external area outside the machining area. The controller controls the actuator such that the door portion is positioned at a third position when the robot arm conveys the workpiece. An opening area of the opening when the door portion is positioned at the third position is smaller than an opening area of the opening when the door portion is positioned at the second position.

A numerical controller includes a data table on which data in which a size of a machining area and a setting value of a parameter, which is influenced by a size of a machining area, are associated with each other is registered. Further, the numerical controller estimates a size of a machining area based on a setting value of a parameter used for control of a machine tool. In the case where data corresponding to the estimated size of the machining area is registered on the data table, the numerical controller acquires a parameter setting value corresponding to the size of the machining area from the data table so as to set the parameter setting value.

To provide a numerical controller, a numerical control method and a numerical control program enabling to improve laser cutting speed. A numerical controller for dividing a laser cutting range into a plurality of sections and performing cutting in the respective sections with individual laser outputs includes a nonvolatile memory for storing division conditions and laser output conditions for the plurality of respective sections in association with a cutting condition identifier, and a CPU for specifying the cutting condition identifier as a command value along with an axial movement command in a cutting program, thereby sequentially applying the stored laser output conditions to the plurality of respective sections.

A machining center processes a section not to be corrected of a workpiece and a crankshaft bearing hole in a different position from the section not to be corrected and which is separated from an upper deck surface of the workpiece. The machining center supplies a coolant to the hole during processing and detects a temperature of the coolant. A control apparatus estimates the temperature of the coolant when a predetermined time elapses from a start of the processing to be a temperature of the workpiece, calculates a deformation amount of the workpiece due to thermal expansion, corrects a position of the hole with respect to the upper deck surface based on the deformation amount, and starts processing of the hole after the predetermined time. The predetermined time ends when a difference between a temperature near the hole and the temperature of the coolant falls within a predetermined range.

A numerical controller includes a data table on which data in which a size of a machining area and a setting value of a parameter, which is influenced by a size of a machining area, are associated with each other is registered. Further, the numerical controller estimates a size of a machining area based on a setting value of a parameter used for control of a machine tool. In the case where data corresponding to the estimated size of the machining area is registered on the data table, the numerical controller acquires a parameter setting value corresponding to the size of the machining area from the data table so as to set the parameter setting value.

A numerical control device having a function of changing a set parameter for controlling a control object at a certain timing includes a main control unit for outputting various commands, a memory for storing various data including the set parameter, a parameter input part for inputting a changed set parameter, and a parameter change command part for outputting an update command, wherein the parameter change command part includes a determination data selecting section for selecting determination data for determining a timing of change in accordance with a set parameter, a data acquiring section for acquiring a detection value of the determination data in a real-time manner, and a determining section for creating an update command on the basis of an acquired detection value.
