An object is to read the information of a feature shape included in a machining program so as to calculate a control command suitable for machining processing on the feature shape. A numerical controller (300) includes: a feature detection unit (302) which detects the feature of a machined shape from a machining program that commands the movement of a tool or a workpiece; an inward-turning amount calculation unit (303) which calculates, based on a servo parameter of a servo controller (400) that drives the tool or the workpiece, the feature of the machined shape detected from the machining program and a machining requirement that specifies a machining condition, a relation formula that determines the inward-turning amount of a machining path with respect to a program path; and a feedrate determination unit (304) which determines a feedrate that is optimized with the relation formula.

Disclosed is a system and method for a smart hydroponic system. The system includes a central controller and one or more smart hydroponic system modules. The smart hydroponic system modules automate a number of tasks required to maintain hydroponic agriculture. Further, these tasks are localized to provide greater precision to the agriculture, as even indoor environments can vary. The central controller sends commands which affect every smart hydroponic system module. This provides an efficient mix of central and local control.

A numerically controlled machine tool has at least one movement axis and is connected to a numerical controller which includes a parts program. Movements of each movement axis are limited by maximum permissible axis dynamics. The parts program has a sequence of instructions for machining a workpiece which specify different maximum desired speeds for the machining of the workpiece which change abruptly over time. The numerical controller approximates the different maximum desired speeds which change abruptly over time with a desired speed profile that is continuous over time and has a profile of the maximum desired speeds which is also continuous over time. The numerical controller uses the continuous desired speed profile to calculate the desired values of an actual movement profile of the movements for each movement axis.

A numerical control apparatus of a machine tool that performs tapping, includes a numerical control, an acceleration learning block, an acceleration/deceleration processing unit that applies an acceleration/deceleration process to the command acceleration and the position command value to calculate a post-acceleration/deceleration position command value, a position control unit that calculates a speed command value based on the post-acceleration/deceleration position command value, a speed/torque control unit that calculates a motor torque command value from the speed command value, and a current control unit that calculates a motor current value of a spindle motor from the motor torque command value. The acceleration learning block outputs, as the command acceleration A, an initial command acceleration A[0] which is smaller than the calculated command acceleration, in accordance with a state quantity of the spindle motor, to the acceleration/deceleration processing unit.
