A numerical controller reads out an instruction block included in a machining program, obtains machining information indicating a feature of a tool path instructed by the read instruction block, and stores a machining conditions related to a movement of a tool in association with the obtained machining information. Further, the machining information obtained together with the instruction block is determined, and a machining condition in the movement of the tool instructed by the instruction block is changed based on the determined machining information and the stored machining condition.

A numerical controller according to the present invention stores comparative relationship between parameters related to setting of the numerical controller, extracts data having comparative relationship among parameters related to the setting of the numerical controller based on the stored comparative relationship, and causes a display to display the data having the comparative relationship in association with each other.

The invention relates to a method for operating at least one machining apparatus as well as a machining system with at least one machining apparatus. Such a machining apparatus can be a machining apparatus for machining workpieces, in particular panel-shaped workpieces, which are used, for example, in the furniture and component industry.

A method for editing a machining program includes obtaining tool information specifying a tool mountable on a machine tool. A program editing window and at least one assistance window are displayed. The program editing window shows a program code of the machining program to control the machine tool. Each of the assistance window selectively shows the tool information and a control method. The tool is to be controlled according to the control method. In the program code, an insertion position at which a new code is to be inserted into the program code is specified. Selected information is selected from the tool information when the tool information is shown in the at least one assistance window. A command corresponding to the selected information is inserted into the program code at the insertion position.

A method and apparatus for controlling a continuous machining process includes a robot, a machining tool, a table, and a raw parts supply mounted inside a machining cell enclosure. The table has first and second vises for holding parts. The machining tool is operated to machine a raw part in one of the vises while the robot is operated to pick a machined part from the other vise and then place another raw part into the other vise. The table can be fixed or rotatable. The robot places the picked machined parts on an exit conveyor to remove the machined parts from the enclosure.
