Control device and control method of machine
A control device of a machine including: an operating condition analyzing unit that analyzes an operating condition of the program, and performs a notification when the tool to be exchanged is not adjusted; an operating condition storage unit that stores the operating condition of the program at a time of exchanging the tool; a state restoration confirming unit that confirms whether an internal state of the machine and/or the control device is restorable so that an operation of a predetermined block of the program is performed again after the operation and a stop of the predetermined block after exchanging the tool; and a state restoration executing unit that, in a case in which the internal state is confirmed to be restorable, restores the internal state to a state at the time of exchanging the tool based on the stored operating condition of the program at the time of exchanging the tool.
Rotary-magazine tool changer capable of changing tool storage position
A tool changer for a machine tool is provided with a command unit for outputting a change command for a tool storage position to a control unit, which turns a tool magazine with a tool mounted on a spindle and controls an index unit to index a predetermined tool grip portion to a tool change position on receiving the change command for the tool storage position from the command unit.

Numerical controller for notifying execution of auxiliary function in advance
A numerical controller for controlling execution of an auxiliary function of a machine calculates an amount of time before execution of an auxiliary function included in a program, and calculates a leading operation initiation time of each of operations of an auxiliary function on the basis of the calculated time and a lead time (stored time) of each of the operations. The numerical controller outputs, to the machine, a command for executing each of the operations of the auxiliary function, according to the leading operation initiation time.
Machine tool for processing a workpiece and method for operating such a machine tool
A machine tool for processing a workpiece comprises a processing station which has a tool receiving member in which a processing tool for processing the workpiece can be introduced and replaced, a tool store which has at least one storage space for a processing tool, a tool handling device which can be moved by a controlled drive into a tool-transfer position, a movement unit which can move the workpiece and the tool store and which can be moved by a controlled drive into any of a setup position, a processing position, and a tool changing position, a control device for the drive of the tool handling device which can define the tool-transfer position of the tool handling device, and a control device for the drive of the movement unit which can define the setup position, the processing position, and the tool changing position of the movement unit.
